17 Mar 2020|714 views
A track fault near Braddell MRT station was slowing down train service on the North-South Line towards the city on 17 March 2020.
Commuters reported on Tata SMRT - a Facebook community page for public transport users - that said trains would slow down between Braddell and Toa Payoh stations, resulting in a five-minute delay in travelling time.
The first alerts were put out at around 10:00am. The Straits Times has reached out to SMRT and the Land Transport Authority for updates and comments. The glitch is the third track fault to have affected the North-South Line in the past four weeks. The line, like the East-West Line, has been revamped, with at least three of its six major components and systems changed out completely.
