The North-South Line ( NSL), North East Line, and Circle Line MRT disruptions have been the focus of three major MRT disruptions in less than a week, according to the Land Transport Authority ( LTA ) and train operators SMRT and SBS Transit.
In a statement on Thursday ( Feb 13 ), LTA said it takes a serious view of the incidents, adding that the three disruptions were unrelated.
The company outages occurred on Feb 7, Feb 10 and Feb 11, affecting peak-hour rides.
NORTH-SOUTH LINE: ENGINEERING VEHICLE BREAKDOWN AT BISHAN DEPOT
An executive car broke down at a railroad crossing in Bishan Depot after performing routine maintenance work on the North-South Line at around 5.15 am.
This prevented the introduction of customer service for railways.
” When SMRT tried to move the stalled car using a recovery coach, some of the wheels of the executive car came off the wires”, LTA said on Thursday, detailing preliminary findings of investigations.
Some carriages from the East-West Line were redirected by SMRT to the NSL to allow the NSL to begin operating.
On both lines, this made it possible for train service to run daytime, with a longer break between carriages when it was most popular, according to LTA.
During the day, travellers were advised to add up to 10 days of train travel moment between Jurong East and Ang Mo Kio facilities in the direction of Jurong East.  ,
SMRT provided complimentary standard and crossing bus services along the route between Woodlands and Bishan to increase train power during the morning peak.
The disturbance lasted until the hour. By 5:30 p.m., the engineering vehicle that had stalled allowed SMRT to start trains from Bishan Depot and gradually restore evening top service.  ,
The organization stated that LTA and SMRT are conducting a thorough research into the source of this incident.
Additionally, it stated that the affair is” fully different” from the EWL disruption from September of last year when an empty coach derailed while returning to the station.
The September  , East-West Line disturbance went on for six weeks, affecting around half a million people each day.
A faulty coach part was dropped onto the songs, which caused extensive damage to the tracks and other gear. Service between nine channels from Boon Lay to Queenstown was affected by this.
