Damn Bukit Panjang LRT, back at it again with the breakdowns. Residents presumably sighed in resignation when LRT services in their neighbourhood got disrupted again yesterday evening — for two entire hours.
During the evening rush hours around 5.10pm, a two-car LRT train encountered a stuck brake on the way to Phoenix station from Bukit Panjang station. Passengers had walk out onto the tracks back to Bukit Panjang station and use the bus bridging services while SMRT conducted repairs.
Full service only resumed at 7.10pm when engineers managed to release the brakes.
