Trains along the East-West Line were initially delayed due to a "power fault" before public transport operator SMRT announced that there would be no train service between Boon Lay and Queenstown.
MRT announcements at around 9:50am on Sep. 25 told passengers to expect delays of around 20 minutes between Tuas Link and Outram Park.
Then, at 9:57pm, SMRT announced that there is no train service between Boon Lay and Queenstown.

Free regular bus services were made available between affected stations.
An announcement over the PA system attributed the delay to a fault at Queenstown MRT station, one Mothership reader said.
Photos shared by Mothership readers showed crowds of stranded morning commuters and stalled trains.
