Platform screen doors malfunction at Braddell MRT station during evening peak hour Related Story 3-line MRT breakdown in October caused by ⦠SPH Digital News / Copyright © 2021 Singapore Press Holdings Ltd. Co. Regn. Two more infill stations (Brickland and Sungei Kadut stations) on the line are being planned and are set to be opened in the 2030s. The upgrading works were completed in phases from 2016. From Marina South Pier station, the first train going to Jurong East station begins service at 6:10 am (approximately 6:40 am on Sundays and public holidays). [108] Since 2019, the North South line is fully equipped with Thales SelTrac Communications-based train control moving block signalling system[109] with automatic train control under automatic train operation (ATO) GoA 3 (DTO). [70][84] 11 stations, from Braddell to Marina South Pier stations, are underground, with the rest being at grade or above ground. All the trains on the NSL run with a six-car formation.

The growth of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system demonstrates the Governmentâs commitment to develop a top-rate public transport system for the benefit of our people. Re-signalling Project The signalling system of the North-South and East-West Lines was upgraded to the SelTrac Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system from Thales. Seven trains were damaged in this incident. SMRT staff and TransCom officers were seen standing near the open doors to ensure passengers kept their distance.

[98][99], Another generation of rolling stock, the Bombardier Movia CR151, will be delivered from 2021 to 2026, to replace the C151, C651 and C751B trains which will be retired. [17][18], â Then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, at the official opening of the Woodlands MRT line, on 10 February 1996. [14], Nine more stations from Novena station to Outram Park station via Raffles Place opened on 12 December that year. On 14 March 2012, platform screen doors became operational at all elevated stations on the North South line. With the exception of the C651, the current rolling stock was manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, in a joint venture with CRRC Qingdao Sifang for the subsequent rolling stocks of the C151A, C151B and C151C. In general, during peak hours, train frequency is 2 to 3 minutes while during non-peak hours the frequency is reduced to 5 minutes throughout the entire route. A cause of the disruption was due to damaged insulators which caused a failure to properly supply power. SINGAPORE - The platform screen doors at Braddell MRT station malfunctioned during the evening peak hour on Wednesday (March 3) and remained open for more than 90 minutes. [25] Sembawang station[26] and Kranji station[27] were later included in the construction after the second round of planning (construction began at the same time on 19 November 1992) and Sungei Kadut station was then omitted.

Sungei Kadut will be built later if the town's population justifies the necessity for the station. [123] Since 2014, train services on the line have ended earlier for critical maintenance works, with the exception of a break between September 2016 and December 2017. Infill station, reduces congestion on both Yishun and Sembawang MRT Stations. During the initial planning of the line, Sembawang station was only intended as a provisional station, to be built at a later date due to the underdevelopment of Sembawang, and construction began on 19 November 1992. The line was expected to relieve the traffic congestion on the ThomsonâSembawang road corridor. [124], Trains on the NSL are powered via a third rail. [123][125] The new third rail replaced its 30-year-old predecessor, which was used since the opening of the line. [65], Train services on the North South Line are also subjected to maintenance and renewal works, usually on selected Fridays & Saturdays. List of MAC The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) originated from a forecast in 1967 by the planners of the State and City Planning Project,[2] which stated the need for a rail-based urban transport system in Singapore by 1992. [104], When the line was first opened, full-height platform screen doors supplied by Westinghouse were installed at underground stations. Both are expected to be completed by the mid-2030s. [36] The single station extension from Marina Bay to Marina South Pier station was opened on 23 November 2014. [51] These two service disruptions on the North South line were both related to damaged rail, and became one of the worst disruption since SMRT's inception in 1987. Until we resolve the issues, subscribers need not log in to access ST Digital articles. Canberra station opened on 2 November 2019. [97] The C151C is also the first MRT rolling stock on the NSEWL to be fitted with fold-up seats, in addition to the current features of the C151B. [88] The third-generation C751B trains were delivered in 2000. [115] Since 28 May 2017, the new signalling system has been operating full-day on the North South line. Latest statistics show that there are 10-12 million passengers every month, with around 400,000-500,000 on a daily average. [9][10] Construction of the MRT line (and also the MRT system itself) started on 22 October 1983,[11] and the first section from Yio Chu Kang station to Toa Payoh station opened on 7 November 1987. [30], The NSL platforms of the Bishan station underwent major alterations to increase the passenger capacity of the station from 1,250 to 2,020. Since the 2010s, due to the ageing infrastructure of the NSL (being the oldest and heavily utilised MRT line), significant improvements have been made on this line, such as the replacement of sleepers, third rail replacement and the introduction of new rolling stocks (the C151B and the C151C) to replace the older rolling stocks and increase passenger capacity. Whether we can do so or not does not depend on the Government alone. [37][38] This extension serves the Marina South Pier, the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore, and future developments in the Marina Bay Downtown area. The new electrical system is expected to make train services more reliable. The North South line (NSL) is a high-capacity Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line in Singapore, operated by SMRT. [19], After the Branch line (from the Jurong East to Choa Chu Kang stations) opened in 1990, the Woodlands MRT line was envisioned so as to close the gap between Yishun and Choa Chu Kang stations. It depends on all of us. The station was expanded to handle increased passenger traffic when the CCL station opens. [110] The subsystems consist of automatic train protection to govern train speed, NetTrac MT Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) to track and schedule trains and a Computer-based interlocking system that prevents incorrect signal and track points to be set.

[53][54][55], On 7 October 2017, a 20-hour long disruption of services started due to flooding in the tunnels between Braddell station and Bishan station due to a faulty drainage system, resulting in disruption of train services between Ang Mo Kio and Marina South Pier stations in both directions for several hours. With the upgraded signalling system, trains are now able to run closer to each other. [57], On 14 October 2020, train services from Jurong East to Woodlands stations ceased to operate for more than three and a half hours, owing to a faulty power cable, which affected the East West and Circle lines too. The incident forced a train carrying hundreds of commuters to come to a screeching halt, but not before flattening the front of the car. Upgrading works for the platform were fully completed on 23 May 2009. Brickland station will be built between Bukit Gombak and Choa Chu Kang stations, while Sungei Kadut station will be built between Yew Tee and Kranji stations and provide an additional interchange with the Downtown line. [40][41] The feasibility study was completed in 2014 and LTA announced Canberra as a new station. [28], During the construction, a total of 19 new trains were purchased for almost S$259 million for the new MRT line, designed by German company Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, to complement the 66 first-generation C151 trains. The Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) was the first rapid transit system in Asia to incorporate platform screen doors in its stations in 1987. While the re-tiling of the platform was done during the day, the Platform Screen Doors (PSDs) were installed in sections through the night. [33] The modification project was completed on 27 May 2011. Coloured red on the rail map, the line is 45 kilometres (28 mi) long and serves 27 stations, 11 of which, between the Bishan and Marina South Pier stations, are underground. [103][104], Initially, the North South line used a semi-automatic signalling system consisting of the Westinghouse fixed block signalling system with automatic train control under automatic train operation GoA 2. Station announcements were also broadcast to advise commuters to stay away from the doors. This station was upgraded with new platform and new track on 27 May 2011. Subsequently, installation began in May 2011 at Ang Mo Kio station. Train services were paused for ten minutes as the old signalling system was being changed to the new system. [39], On 17 January 2013, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that a feasibility study was conducted to construct Canberra MRT station. [70] It is 45 kilometres (28 mi) long and is predominantly double-tracked, but certain short sections at the Woodlands, Yishun and Ang Mo Kio stations widen to three tracks,[71][72][73] and four tracks at Jurong East station. [117] The authorities initially rejected calls for platform screen doors to be installed at elevated stations by casting doubts over functionality and concerns about the high installation costs. Free bus bridging services were activated at all affected stations, and bus operators increased the frequency of regular services serving these areas. [52], On 7 July 2015, the North South and East West lines were temporarily disrupted due to massive power trips detected along the line. [85] With the exception of Bishan, Braddell and Canberra stations, the other stations have island platforms. The introduction of the C151B saw the introduction of STARiS 2.0, which is also seen in subsequent rolling stocks. [29], With the official opening of the Woodlands extension on 10 February 1996 by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, the Branch line was incorporated into the North South line. Between Khatib and Yio Chu Kang stations parallel to Lentor Avenue, the line continues at surface level; this section is the longest distance between any two MRT stations in Singapore.
