2011 Service Disruption
On September 20 2011, almost 27,000 morning rush-hour commuters were affected by the disruption of train services on all 16 Circle Line stations. Preliminary investigations have shown that a faulty cable located below the platform level of Dakota caused a power trip that affected the entire Circle Line system.
SMRT said the disruption started at about 5:30 am. It added that train service from Marymount to Paya Lebar, and Dhoby Ghaut to Stadium, resumed at 8:30am. Full services were up and running again just before 10am.
The disruption comes some two weeks before the final 12 stations of the Circle Line are opened for service.
This was the largest shutdown of the Circle Line since its opening in 2009.
