地铁南北线、东西线和环线的服务,昨晚(14日)一度出现中断,晚间7时左右开始,SMRT即通过推特发文,证实这些线路受影响;陆路交通管理局发文告指出,初步调查显示,故障乃跳电导致。

因服务延误,为了疏散乘客,SMRT从晚上7时30分起,让南北线的乘客安全下车(Safe detrainment);环线乘客则在上8时进行安全下车程序。

对于此次严重故障事故,交通部长王乙康也在脸书发文,昨晚对于许多通勤者来说是“艰难且令人感到压力的”,他对于故障造成的不便和影响致歉。

他指出,故障出现后,即安排115辆接驳巴士和400名SMRT职员,协助和疏导那些受影响乘客。他也表示接到友人简讯,获悉有两名乘客感到不适,于是通知SMRT和陆交局去接应。

直到晚间10点34分,跳电电缆被隔开,地铁南北线和东西线列车服务才获恢复。王乙康也指工程团队已漏夜工作解决问题。

从昨晚网民分享的一些照片和信息,可得知一些地铁站停电,内里漆黑一片,一度受困的通勤者显得不知所措。当局也安排乘客安全下车,采用替代路线和接驳巴士。

Has been a rough and stressful evening for many commuters. We are sorry for the disruption and all the troubles…
