[edit] Incidents
10000 regular peak-hour commuters were stranded on the morning of August 30 2001 because the train service was still being repaired after a power failure on the evening of August 29 2001. An LRT train had hit a switch beam at the Bukit Panjang station at about 5.40 pm on Aug 29, resulting in the power failure. It was some 16 hours later before the service resumed at 10.15am later that day. [1]
