There was a power fault on NEL last evening (25 November) at around 9pm. SBS Transit only made announcements on the platform. Nothing heard on their SMS broadcast and Twitter account. This occurence was only known after Alternative Media posted on their facebook page.
Apparently a train was also stuck at Little India according to a twitter post by Delia Chan.

The last time LTA arranged an exercise to test the incident response of SMRT and SBS Transit was in August 2013. Then LTA said the following:
SBST was also tested on their public communications procedures, which included promptly informing the public of a train service disruption and alternative travel arrangements through the bus bridging and free bus services, as well as providing regular updates at the stations and through the media and social media channels until normal service is resumed.
Social media channels? SBS Transit’s Twitter account has laid dormant since 2012 and in 2014, they still don’t have Facebook page!
There also does not seem to be having such exercise this year.

一名德士司机载客遭“假乘客”殴打,疑似企图抢劫,所幸司机及时按响车喇叭,将“假乘客”吓得逃离现场。 署名Muhd Taufiq的网友在脸书上帖文,指其担任德士司机的父亲,于昨日(19日)清晨5时许,在后港6大道的巴士站险些遭人抢劫,虽然获救,但是满身伤痕累累。 他于昨日清晨5时21分被母亲叫醒后,自母亲口中听闻有关坏消息。 帖文中写到,网友父亲是在后港的德士站前,遇到这名声称要到圣淘沙名胜世界赌场的男子,说着本地华语表示忘记带一些东西,因此请父亲在他的指引下,载他一程。 据悉,男子身材高大,一头金发且身穿白色上衣和蓝色牛仔裤。他指示网友父亲在附近一带游走后,就在后港6大道的巴士站要求停车,随后就自后大力勒住父亲的颈部往后拉,导致父亲感觉到呼吸困难。“父亲被勒住时大力挣扎,甚至尝试咬住嫌犯的手部。” “岂知男子下车走到驾驶座,将我父亲的胸部压向座位,并不断朝父亲的脸挥拳,大约有四、五次。” 网友表示,父亲曾尝试在男子下车时尝试脱下安全带,但是他当时有点虚脱并受到惊吓,才未能成功逃脱。 父亲鸣笛  男子溜走 遭男子殴打后,父亲成功按下车笛向附近的居民求救,只是当时该区并没有人。而男子在父亲鸣笛后,立刻将父亲推开,关掉车子引擎,并将钥匙丢到汽车的仪表板上,跳下车跑得不见踪影。 父亲也立即报警,警员于10分钟后赶抵现场,并召来救护车将父亲送院治疗,警方调查官已经就此事向父亲录取口供。…

香港媒体大亨黎智英被捕 壹传媒股价不跌反飙升三倍

香港警察在本月10日早上,以涉嫌违法《港区国安法》为由,逮捕壹传媒创办人黎智英等人,《苹果日报》总部被搜查。不过壹传媒股价却不跌反涨,还一度飙升多达344.44巴仙。 相信这些买盘属非理性投资,原本壹传媒当天早上股价急跌16巴仙(0.075港元(约0.013新元)),但后来又反弹,全日升183巴仙,收市报0.255港元,成交额达3.94亿元。 此外,《苹果日报》销量也突然暴增,有者甚至凌晨排队购买,周二发行35万份,还得加印55万份。 目前黎智英已获保释外出。不过他有多达5000万港元(约887万新元)的资产被冻结。 除了黎智英,前香港众志成员周庭等人,也同样被控违反国安法被捕,警方指责她涉嫌今年7月“利用社群媒体勾结外国势力”,但未说明具体时间丶事件与内容。 周庭坦言,这是她过去今年被逮捕以来,最害怕的一次,批评批评香港政府此举不只是“以言入罪”,更是无中生有。
