Circle Line train services between Tai Seng and Mountbatten halted due to 'signalling

SINGAPORE: Train services between Tai Seng and Mountbatten on the Circle Line were suspended in both directions because of a "signalling fault" on Saturday evening (Aug 4).

In a tweet sent out at 6.21pm, train operator SMRT said that free regular bus services were available.

One commuter, Aung Than, said he was on a train along the line at about 6pm when it stopped at Paya Lebar for about half an hour. At about 6.30pm, staff manually opened the door and let those on board out of the train, he said.
