To supplement the shuttle train service\, free regular and bridging bus services were available at designated bus stops along the affected stations to maintain connectivity. \nInitial investigations into the incident revealed the cause to be a broken contact wire of the Overhead Catenary System (OCS) at the train launching track of Sengkang depot. The OCS supplies power to the trains. Repair works to the OCS were carried out after the morning peak hours. To facilitate this\, power supply to the tracks was shut off between NE14 Hougang and NE17 Punggol stations\, and free regular and bridging bus services were available between these stations. \nThe repair works were completed by 11.49am and a safety sweep of the affected sector was carried out by a non-passenger train. Normal service along the entire NEL resumed at 12.14pm. \nThroughout this time\, regular train services operated between NE1 HarbourFront and NE12 Serangoon stations at a frequency of about 9 minutes\, while shuttle trains ran between NE12 Serangoon and NE14 Hougang stations. \nWe apologise to affected commuters for the inconvenience caused. Meanwhile\, we are jointly investigating the incident with the Land Transport Authority. \n
