SMRT has warned commuters to expect crowded stations along the entire North-South (NSL) and East-West Lines during morning peak hour on Tuesday (25th July). In a tweet at 7:26am, the operator said trains are running at longer intervals due to 'intermittent power fault'. "Crowds expected at station," the tweet added.
Commuters started complaining about the fault from as early as 6:20am, with several claiming that they were stuck at Lakeside MRT station. Twitter user @settpaing tweeted photos of long queues waiting to enter Lakeside station, which he described as 'extremely crowded'.
The latest incident comes less than 12 hours after a door obstruction at Newton station caused delays along the NSL during evening peak hour on Monday. A power fault last occurred on 12th July, affecting train services on both lines late at night.
