Massive blackout on North-South line: 7,200 commuters, 13 stations affected

After a power outage caused the station doors to jam shut, commuters sat waiting in the dark until they were instructed to pull the emergency handle to force the doors open so they could alight the train at Bishan station.

In a statement to STOMP, an SMRT spokesperson has indicated an interruption in power supply resulted in train services being halted between Orchard and Marsiling MRT stations. 13 stations, from Newton to Marsiling, were also affected.
