The disruption of train services along a stretch of the East-West Line between Jurong East and Buona Vista stations might persist for days, after checks found that a faulty train had caused extensive damage to tracks and trackside equipment on Sept 25.
While en route to the depot, a defective axle box on the third carriage of the six-carriage train dropped onto the tracks near Dover station, causing one bogie to come off the running rail. This is the first time such an incident has happened. This caused a power trip at around 9.25am, disrupting train services between Boon Lay and Queenstown stations.
The shuttle service between Jurong East and Buona Vista will ply only along the eastbound track, which is less severely damaged and requires fewer repairs than the westbound track.
