North-East Line, Sengkang-Punggol LRT resume train services after power fault
Train services on the North-East Line and the Sengkang-Punggol LRT are back to normal. Power has been safely restored to the affected depot substation, following a power fault that disrupted services for several hours on Tuesday. Authorities said a fault in the switchboards feeding power to the system triggered a surge in the first unit, which damaged it and shut down the second backup unit. This cut off the main power supply from Sengkang Depot. Charlotte Lim reports.

North East Line train service disrupted due to power fault
SINGAPORE: Train service was disrupted on the North East Line between Farrer Park and Punggol Coast MRT stations on Tuesday (Aug 12) due to a power fault, transport operator SBS Transit said. Free bus services and bus bridging services are available between Punggol Coast station and Dhoby Ghaut stations, it added. When CNA was at Boon Keng Station at about 11.20am, passengers were told by a security guard on ground level that there were no trains running at the moment. The security guard also stopped people from entering the station. But there were no announcements made and passengers were waiting at the platform. There was also a stationary train on the side headed towards Punggol Coast, and it had been there for about five minutes.
