EWL Track Fault - near Aljunied

Disruption on the East-West Line (EWL) on 2 Dec due to a track fault caused at least 20 minutes of extra travel time for eight stations from Bugis to Bedok, with Paya Lebar among the affected stations; shuttle services operated between Paya Lebar and Bedok amid eastern track work, fueling passenger confusion due to limited official alerts. On 3 Dec, LTA said operators would prioritise station-level alerts for minor delays and work toward location-based information online, possibly via a central app, to improve journey planning.

SMRT said on Dec 3 that a track point failure occurred near Aljunied at about 7:50pm on Dec 2.
