Delay on North-East Line due to train fault at Buangkok station

A train fault at Buangkok station caused a delay on the North-East Line on Friday (July 29^th) morning.

SBS Transit which operates the line, said in a tweet at 7:31am that commuters should expect an additional 15 minutes of travelling time. Free bus rides were also deployed between Potong Pasir and Punggol stations. 

Normal service resumed after the train fault was rectified at around 8:18am, SBS said in a subsequent tweet, but added that commuters should expect delays as the stations were still crowded.

Commuters were quick to point out their frustrations on social media regarding the delay.
