The train service along the North South Line (NSL) experienced a short delay around 8am this Friday morning (31 May).
Transport operator SMRT did not inform about this disruption via social media but according to commuters, it was said to have been caused by a track fault at Ang Mo Kio, which caused delays in the Southbound service towards Marina South Pier.
Several commuters posted the information on TATA SMRT Facebook platform; Jun Liang posted updates beginning at 7:48am:
