LTA, SMRT to install breakers to avoid simultaneous rail breakdown
Singapore
SINGAPORE'S Land Transport Authority (LTA) and transport operator SMRT will install breakers to delink the electrical connections between the city-state's two major rail lines, the North-South Line (NSL) and East-West Line (EWL), to avoid simultaneous breakdowns like the one on July 7.
Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan wrote in a blog entry on Thursday that electrical breaks will be fully installed at the Jurong East and Raffles Place interchange stations by the end of next month.
