SINGAPORE – LRT train services on the Bukit Panjang line – between the Senja and Bukit Panjang stations – were not available on the morning of May 18 after a man fell onto the track.
In a Facebook post at 6:52am, train operator SMRT said the service was disrupted “due to a track intrusion”.
In a subsequent update at 7.08am, it said that a man was seen trespassing onto the track near the Segar station at about 5am. It later updated the post to say that a man “was seen to have fallen onto the track”.
“Train services between the Petir and Senja stations, in both directions, were temporarily suspended to allow the police safe access to the tracks for investigations,” it said.
While there is no service between Senja and Bukit Panjang stations, train services between Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Panjang stations remain available.
SMRT added that free bridging bus and regular bus services “have been activated to support affected commuters”.
