Train services on the northbound North-South MRT Line between Marina Bay and Bishan stations resumed at 11.40pm on Thursday.

Thousands were stranded after the North-South MRT Line broke down during the evening peak hours. Some commuters used a fire extinguisher to break the windows of a train stuck underground due to lack of ventilation.
