Singapore MRT has another glitch as North East Line train breaks down


A stalled train seen at Clarke Quay station on Nov 16, 2017.

SINGAPORE: A train on the North East Line of Singapore's MRT broke down at Clarke Quay station towards Punggol at 6.20pm Thursday (Nov 16), the latest in a string of rail faults this week.

Operator SBS Transit pushed out a public alert that journey time will be extended by 10 minutes at 6.20pm, then sent out another tweet at 6.32pm that the additional time will be increased to 15 minutes. It is likely to be significantly longer because a 12-car push-out is underway.
