SINGAPORE: Regular train services on the Thomson-East Coast Line have resumed following a morning disruption caused by a signalling fault on Tuesday (Jul 1), train operator SMRT said.
The disruption lasted for over an hour, with services between Napier and Great World stations coming to a halt.
SMRT first posted an alert on its Facebook page at 6.40am informing the public to expect an extra 30 minutes of travel time due to the signalling fault.
Free regular bus services between Caldecott and Gardens by the Bay stations were provided.
The signalling fault occurred at Orchard station, the operator said.
SMRT also advised passengers to take alternate lines to the city area.
At about 8.20am, it said that regular train services have resumed. Subsequently, the free regular bus services and free bridging bus services were ceased.
Editor's note: This article has been updated to state that the signalling fault was at Orchard station, not Orchard Boulevard station, after SMRT corrected information on its Facebook post.
