Delays on Circle Line between Paya Lebar and Buona Vista MRT stations due to train fault
Train operator SMRT first told commuters at 8.26am to expect an additional 30 minutes of travel time between the two stations due to a train fault.
"Free regular bus services are available between Serangoon and Buona Vista."
It said in an update at 8.41am that the train fault has recovered and services are "progressively resuming".
One commentator on SMRT's Facebook page said he was "trapped at Serangoon" station for 20 minutes, while another said he was stuck at Caldecott station.
A CNA reporter travelling on the Circle Line was told to alight at Serangoon MRT station and change to the North East Line.
