A track fault occurred at the station at around 5am, resulting in trains travelling at a slower speed, SMRT said in Facebook post at 7.25am.
The delay was the result of a faulty point machine, said SMRT in a Facebook post at 8.18am. “A point machine controls train movements at rail junctions when trains switch tracks. It is crucial for the point machine to be fully functional for the safe operation of trains,” it added. Free regular bus and bridging bus services, which were available between Clementi and Boon Lay stations at designated bus stops, have ceased.It advised commuters to add up to 30 minutes of additional train travel time. Commuters were also asked to take other lines, including Thomson-East Coast Line, Downtown Line and North-South Line towards the city.
