The nation was clamouring for the reason behind the recent repeated breakdowns of SMRT's Circle Line, and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) delivered.
The source of the vexing train disruptions over the past week? LTA traced it to one rogue train in particular, which had faulty signalling hardware that affected the wireless signal of other trains travelling within its proximity. Hot damn.
The rebel train Passenger Vehicle 46 (PV46), apaprently caused hundreds of occurrences of loss of signalling communication — and that caused other trains in its vicinity to automatically activate their emergency brakes.
