Train service was disrupted at Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT) Service A and Service C routes on Sunday afternoon due to a train fault between Bukit Panjang and Senja stations.
Staff were on site to attend to 11 passengers who were affected by the train disruption, according to a SMRT spokesperson.
BPLRT Service B was disrupted for nine minutes between 5:11pm to 5:20pm to facilitate Service A's detrainment to Senja. BPLRT Service C resumed operations at 5:40pm and Service A resumed at 7:15pm.
The affected passengers alighted from the train safely and walked on a 1.5-metre wide emergency walkway for about 150 metres to Senja station. The walkway, according to the SMRT spokesperson, is safe and is regularly used by staff for maintenance work.
At the same time, passengers onboard another affected train had to alight so that their train could be used to push out the stalled train.
Announcements were made at all BPLRT stations and Twitter was used to update commuters throughout the incident.
SMRT apologised for the inconvenience caused to commuters.
