Delay on Downtown line on Tuesday evening due to signalling fault
The Down Town Line (DTL) experienced delays due to signalling fault at Tampines station on Tuesday evening. Commuters were left wondering for an hour odd for the cause of delay as the SBS transit, did not announce the cause of the delay immediately.
A commuter, Daniel Lim tweeted at 6:34pm stating that the DTL stopped for a while:
Other tweets informed that the DTL train has been stuck at Bugis for the past 10 minutes at 6:47pm and also at Telok Ayer towards Expo at :708pm:

Other commuters also tweeted about the delay and their disappointments, but many thought that the DTL is operated by the Singapore Mass Rapid Transport (SMRT):
