The Down Town Line (DTL) experienced a disruption in its train service on Saturday evening (21 Jul), which SBS Transit said was caused by signaling fault.

At 5:41pm SBS Transit posted information on its Twitter platform about the fault and delay, asking for 10 minutes addition to travel time:



Several passengers have posted information and asked questions about the delay on DTL to SBS Transit:


But at 7:34pm SBS Transit announced that the service on DTL has returned to normal and apologized for the inconvenience:


However, either the problems were still not solved or the effect of the fault were still causing delay, minutes after the SBS Transit's announcement that the DTL service has returned to normal, Muhammad Syafiq posted a couple of photos of an information board at Tanjong Pagar station, showing that longer traveling time was still expected between Bukit Panjang and Expo; while the expected resume time was left blank:

Bombardier awarded $1.2 billion contract to replace 66 oldest MRT trains

SINGAPORE - Canadian engineering giant Bombardier has been awarded a $1.2 billion contract to supply 66 new trains for the North-South, East-West MRT lines.

The amount includes a service support contract.

The new trains, slated to arrive from 2021, will replace 66 first-generation trains which have been in service from the time the MRT started over 30 years ago.

Speaking at the tender award ceremony at Tuas Depot Wednesday (July 25), Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said the Bombardier trains will come with new features designed to boost reliability. These include condition-monitoring sensors and back-end analytic systems which will allow engineers to detect and address anomalies early.

Mr Khaw said this will "significantly" reduce the chances of train faults arising.

Four of the 66 new trains will also be fitted out with Automatic Track Inspection system, which uses cameras, lasers and sensors to help detect rail defects.

Mr Khaw said: "The MRT system has many core components, but to the commuters, trains are the most tangible aspect of their daily experience."

He said the new trains will be able to cater to parents with strollers, wheelchair users and commuters with personal mobility devices or foldable bicycles, while maintaining the same number of seats.

Ooops somebody open his big mouth . How come the trains are so expensive ? Why need to award service contract to Bombadier ? I thought LTA is the doing the maintenance works ? This sort of thing the state media can provide free publicity but when mrt service breakdowns the state media choose to remain silent .

Can't any local engineering company build these trains?

If it was China, they'll be building it within 10 years of exposure to the hardware and software. LTA and SMRT has had 30 years! Makes you wonder!

Must learn how to repair n service first.
Learn from bombardair.
Sporean carry sand paper rub rub ok?
Or use side grinders?
