Overview

• A power fault at about 2:45 pm on July 19 stopped four trains and suspended service across all 13 stations on the Bukit Panjang LRT line.
• SMRT staff guided passengers safely from stalled trains to the nearest stations with in-train and station announcements.
• Normal operations resumed at 4:22 pm and free bus bridging services were withdrawn roughly ten minutes later.
• This marks the second full-line outage in July after a three-hour disruption caused by a power fault on July 3.
• The Land Transport Authority and SMRT are carrying out signalling upgrades and rolling stock retrofits in a renewal programme due by end-2026 to improve reliability.
