A bogie — an undercarriage with wheels — of a defective train had derailed on the track between Dover and Clementi stations,, said LTA and SMRT on Thursday evening. At the depot, Chee highlighted how each rail segment weighs more than one tonne and that it would be "an effort" to replace over 30 of them.
