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.
