SMRT announces intermittent signalling issue at Circle Line for the fifth day in a row

On SMRT Twitter account at around 6 am, SMRT tweeted that Circle Line’s (CCL) commuters would need additional travel time due to intermittent signalling issue. Similar to yesterday, it did not say whether free shuttle bus is available, and the exact time of additional time would be needed.

[CCL] Due to intermittent signalling issue, please cater for additional travel time on the CCL today.

— SMRT Corporation (@SMRT_Singapore) September 1, 2016

About two hours later, SMRT tweeted another announcement that trains would need additional time since it may have longer dwell times at the station.

[CCL] Due to intermittent signalling issues, train may have longer dwell times at stations. Pls cater for longer travel time.

— SMRT Corporation (@SMRT_Singapore) September 1, 2016

This makes it the fifth day in a row that service for the Circle Line is being disrupted. The first service disruption occurred on Monday, 29 August. SMRT had asked commuters to hold onto handrail as the train may break suddenly due to the loss of communication signal.

The Minister of Transport, Khaw Boon Wan has still not commented on the issue.

There is less crowding issue at the stations today because the schools are on break due to the Teachers’ Day celebration.

Is the circle line's signalling fault persisting due to the signal going around in circles?

Thank God I'm not taking the circle line now.

— Seo Dae Young (@Xavegrey) September 1, 2016

Wow…took 10 minutes just to get from Caldecott to Botanics ?? Circle Line is reliable as always ?

— Unicorn Farts (@faithisaunicorn) September 1, 2016

I like how SMRT not only breaks train down but also the escalators at Buona Vista to jam up the platform for public bonding loving time.
