Train services on parts of the Circle Line have been affected for hours since 5am on Friday.
SINGAPORE: Circle Line commuters have been advised to transfer to other MRT lines while engineers carry out work to replace a faulty section of the rail crossing.A crack on the rail track at the crossing from Promenade to Esplanade and Bayfront stations had been detected at about 2.30am during a routine maintenance inspection.
"As this involves detailed survey and the movement of heavy rails and equipment using engineering trains, normal train services will be affected at the affected stretch for our engineers to rectify the issue." This is because only single-line operations can be run for both ways on the affected stretch, SMRT said.
