Here’s all you need to know about the #EWL disruption between #BoonLay and #Queenstown stations.
On 25 Sep 2024, a faulty train travelling towards the city was turned back to Ulu Pandan depot. On the way, its axle box dropped and caused the wheels of a bogie to come off the running rail and hit track equipment. This caused fractures along 1.6km of rail, and damaged three point machines, and the third rail.
Without the point machines, trains cannot be diverted onto other tracks, affecting train services on both bounds. Damages to the third rail, which is the power source for trains, also caused a power trip.
We are working hard to restore train services safely and promptly. As train service between Jurong East and Buona Vista stations is unavailable, commuters can take alternative travel options such as other rail lines, free bridging buses and regular buses between the affected stations.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
