SINGAPORE: A train on the North East Line of Singapore's MRT broke down at Clarke Quay station towards Punggol at 6.20pm Thursday (Nov 16), the latest in a string of rail faults this week. Service on the East-West Line was tripped up by a two-train collision in Joo Koon station, the Circle Line was affected by what was believed to be a door-related fault. Later in the afternoon, journey time along the North-South line took 40 minutes longer than usual because several trains were pulled out of service. There were trains of the same model as the ones involved in the Joo Koon collision, which was caused by a signalling fault. – The Straits Times/Asia News NetworkRelated story:Six Malaysians injured in Singapore train collision
