Timeline: Recent major breakdowns on Bukit Panjang LRT
Published 7 min ago Christopher Tan Senior Transport Correspondent SINGAPORE - The Bukit Panjang LRT has been problematic from the time it started running in 1999. And it still remains so. Last year, it had 10 major breakdowns (those that last more than half an hour). In comparison, the Sengkang-Punggol LRT had five such breakdowns in the same period. The North-South and East-West MRT lines, which are much longer and operate at a much higher frequency and load, had seven in total. The device had actually just been installed a few days earlier, replacing one that had "arcing problems". "Arcing" is an electrical discharge that jumps across a gap in a connection. APRIL 2015 A dislodged current collector shoe causes a 1½-hour breakdown. It was the third case in five months of a shoe coming dislodged, thus breaking contact with the power supply. The two most recent incidents happened to new trains that were delivered in June 2014. continue reading here : http://www.straitstimes.com/singapor...it-panjang-lrt Are our MRT and LRT safe to travel or not ???

Conveniently, garbagement n smrt were never gonna be accountable n resign anyway. So end up they become thick skin n self righteous. Which is how they treat opposition. When Other people do wrong, like opposition, they kaopeh kaobu as if low enrolled in isis. That's how they treated those drivers. They sack them n say all kinds of shit like how they fall below standards. But but but garbagement got meet MINIMUM standards ma? Obviously no la! But how come no accountability? When they do wrong, they keep quiet. When ppl ask, they downplay matters. When idiots like David n palmer can b sacrificed, they'll take action n say we got standards! _______________ Exchange points downplay ma? Last edited by sadfa; 28-09-2016 at 10:43 PM.

Re: 2 young lives lost
A fussy LRT system in need of overhaul
Christopher Tan Senior Transport Correspondent Published 8 hours ago The latest breakdown on the Bukit Panjang LRT appears eerily familiar. There was a track fault on Tuesday, at around 10pm, near Choa Chu Kang station. There was no service between the Bukit Panjang and Choa Chu Kang stations, effectively severing rail link to the MRT network that takes residents to and from other parts of Singapore. The fault was fixed just after midnight. But in the wee hours of yesterday morning, the operator discovered that the current collector devices on 15 trains had been damaged by the track fault. These were apparently replaced. But when service resumed, it soon became clear all was still not well. SMRT decided to shut down the 17-year-old line to do a thorough check, suspecting that the crippled trains could have done some damage to other parts of the track. The Bukit Panjang LRT had 10 major breakdowns last year that lasted over 30 minutes. In comparison, the North-South and East-West MRT lines, which are much longer and operate at a much higher frequency and load, had seven. Here are six recent incidents that hit the Bukit Panjang LRT system: JULY 2016 A train fails to stop at three stations, scaring commuters. The incident was traced to a fault in its antenna, which ensures the automated train stops accurately at each station. JULY 2016 SMRT reveals that the entire first batch of 19 United States-made Bombardier trains on the line had developed cracks. It says the defects were discovered last year. APRIL 2016 A power dip at a substation in Buona Vista causes a trip that shuts down stretches of the North-South and East-West lines, the Circle Line and the Bukit Panjang LRT. JANUARY 2016 A train door opens while the vehicle is in motion, causing panic on board. The incident occurs after a signalling fault forces staff to override the driverless system and drive the trains manually. APRIL 2015 A dislodged current collector shoe causes a 11/2-hour breakdown. MARCH 2015 An electrical fire causes the line to be shut down for 24 hours. Investigations indicate that a tie-breaker, a type of circuit breaker, overheated. Five years ago, a similar set of circumstances had hit the North-South line, with far greater consequences. On the evening of Dec 15, 2011, trains on Singapore's oldest line ground to a halt, affecting tens of thousands of commuters. The fault was later traced to a damaged third rail which supplies power to the trains. Damage sustained by trains' current collector shoes that night, however, went undetected. This led to another massive breakdown on the morning of Dec 17. The Prime Minister called for a public inquiry, which found that SMRT's maintenance lapses were the main reasons for the two breakdowns (which have since been superseded by an incident of a much larger scale on July 7, 2015, when both the North-South and East-West lines broke down, and nearly half a million commuters were stranded). continue reading here : http://www.straitstimes.com/singapor...ed-of-overhaul

Track fault disrupts Bukit Panjang LRT services for 6 hours
Published 8 hours ago Zhaki Abdullah The troubled Bukit Panjang LRT line faced yet another setback when train services to and from Choa Chu Kang were disrupted for about six hours from 10.20am yesterday. Operator SMRT apologised for the inconvenience caused to thousands of commuters who were affected. The culprit was a signal rail joint on the track near Choa Chu Kang station that was damaged on Tuesday evening. This caused the current collector devices, which serve to transfer power and signals from the tracks to the trains, on several train cars to dislodge as they moved over the damaged joint. As a result, services between the Bukit Panjang and Choa Chu Kang stations were first halted on Tuesday at 10pm for around two hours. continue reading here : http://www.straitstimes.com/singapor...es-for-6-hours

Re: 2 young lives lost
SMRT bendy bus extricated from field at Kim Keat Avenue after being stuck for 10 hours
Published 4 hours ago Updated 3 hours ago Annabeth Leow Jalelah Abu Baker SINGAPORE - An SMRT bendy bus was stuck on a field behind Block 195, Kim Keat Avenue, for about 10 hours since midnight on Thursday (Sept 29). The wheels of the bus appeared to have sunk into the soft earth. Workers from a tow truck company, who were on the scene, tried unsuccessfully several times to reach the bus with tow vehicles. Mr Seah Hui Chou, a manager from People's Vehicle Recovery Service, said that his team would attempt the "rougher" method of pulling the bus out of the earth, as opposed to trying to level the bus so that it can be driven out. Workers attached a chain to a part of the rear end of the chassis, which has a risk of being damaged from the procedure. Engineers from SMRT gave the green light for this to be done. The bus was finally removed from the mud around 10.10am. An SMRT staff member drove it out of the field onto the road, and it was towed away. continue reading here : http://www.straitstimes.com/singapor...im-keat-avenue
