A DISRUPTION to train services on Thursday morning inconvenienced 17,500 commuters.

[KVMRT: This is a good example by which an 'efficient' MRT systems fail at a certain time. Singapore MRT existed since 1970s and is never problem free i.e disruption, as opposed to some Malaysians who claimed SMRT never delays.]

An eastbound train stalled at 8.49am due to a fault in the train, according to an SMRT spokesman.

Westbound and eastbound trains were turned around at Queenstown MRT Station and Outram Park MRT Station respectively to maintain services.

Eastbound train service resumed at 9.50am.

SMRT apologises for the inconvenience caused.
