SINGAPORE \u2013 Commuters on the Circle Line had their train journeys delayed on the evening of June 15.<\/p>\n
According to a message at 7.47pm on the Land Transport Authority\u2019s (LTA) website that tracks the service status of public trains here, there was a \u201cminor delay affecting train services between Lorong Chuan and Bishan stations\u201d in both directions.<\/p>\n
Commuters could continue to use the train service, or the free bus services at affected stations, the message continued.<\/p>\n
