2024 East–West MRT line disruption
On 25 September 2024, services on the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) East–West line (EWL) were disrupted when an axle box of a Kawasaki C151 train dislodged, damaging the track and equipment along the stretch between the Clementi and Dover stations. This resulted in the suspension of regular services between the Boon Lay and Queenstown stations, affecting around more than 1.3 million commuters. Restoration works are ongoing by engineers from the Land Transport Authority and SMRT Corporation. Meanwhile, shuttle train services were restored for the stretches between the Queenstown and Buona Vista stations, and between the Jurong East and Boon Lay stations, while bus bridging services were provided for the affected segment between the Buona Vista and Jurong East stations. Described by experts as a "rare" incident, the damage was reported to be extensive, and services was expected to be restored only some days after. This is one of the longest train disruptions on the MRT network in Singapore's history, as well as the longest since 2017.
