Facebook user, Mihar Nirza also posted a series of photos on her account this morning, asking if there is water seepage along the East-West Line.
From the posts, it would seem that there have been a couple of trains hit with the same issue of “ponding” due to the heavy rain. But despite the water in the cabin, services on the East-West Line are running as per normal.
