SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority has finished its investigations into a North East Line train service breakdown in July last year.

The seven-hour disruption, which affected hundreds of commuters, was one of the longest in Singapore's MRT history.

At the time, authorities said a wire, which supplied electricity to the trains, had come loose.

LTA's investigations have concluded that the dewirement was due to the poor quality of a piece of equipment called a porcelain insulator.

These findings have been verified by an independent assessor.

Since then, the operator has tightened its maintenance regime of the insulators and will continue with its inspections of the insulators on a two-monthly basis.

The French supplier has also checked and certified that all its existing insulators are free of defects.

LTA said the disruption was a one-off situation and that no action would be taken against the operator. - CNA/ir

just hope things wont happen again bah

to fall in love is always easy
to start a relationship is always simple
to build it, is always tough
to maintain it, is 'better said than done'
to break off, is 'easier said than done'
to remain friends after u broke off, is never possible
to forget the memories is 'always doing but never succeeding'
to heal the pain within is hard and tough and never near simple
but one has to try to heal your own heart...
