SINGAPORE: Train service across the entire Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT) line came to a halt on Saturday (July 19) afternoon due to a power fault.

In a Facebook post at 2.45pm, transport operator SMRT notified commuters that trains are moving slower towards Choa Chu Kang LRT station, and that it was investigating the fault.

In an update about five minutes later, SMRT said that train services are not available as the power fault spanned all 13 stations.

It added that free regular or bridging buses are available outside the stations.

This is the second LRT train disruption to occur this month.

Train service on the line resumed at about 11.40am on July 3, about three hours after a power fault led to disruption at all stations. - The Straits Times/ANN
