LTA, SMRT form team to help minimise train disruptions

[GLZT]

Hope this new system works well without failure for a long time. Most of the time the breakdown is caused by overweight, with this system, less people need to cluster-f together.

Train signalling trial goes smoothly; SMRT to hold another on Thursday

 

 

SINGAPORE — Rail operator SMRT will carry out another trial of its new signalling system on the North South Line (NSL) on Thursday (March 30), after a temporary switchover on Tuesday went smoothly, with trains running on the new system for more than an hour before services ended at night.

 

Hours before the start of the trial, however, two unrelated breakdowns occurred: A stretch of the NSL — between Bishan and Sembawang — was hit by a signalling fault that persisted for two hours, causing delays of up to 15 minutes. The issue was resolved at about 10.20pm — less than an hour before the trial started. Elsewhere, SMRT’s Bukit Panjang LRT system broke down for an hour.

NSL, Bukit Panjang LRT hit by service disruptions

so now another new term we need to get use to " service disruption " instead of breakdown.

Breakdown refers to completely cannot move, but now train still can move by inches lo. Lol.

when one see 'distruptions' one would assume 'ok maybe slower abit, 2-3 mins'
