Here is the statement posted by SMRT on its Facebook page at 10.56am:
At about 8.05am this morning, a Circle Line train stalled between Tai Seng and Bartley stations in the direction towards HarbourFront.
The stalled train was driven by a Station Staff to Bartley, where passengers were detrained. Our commuters resumed their journey on the next trains.
Full services along the Circle Line resumed at around 8.14am.
However, the delay at Bartley station had an effect on trains behind the vehicle that caused the delay. Normal headway between trains was restored at around 9.19am.
Initial findings point to a signal fault aboard the train. Our engineers are attending to the situation.
We apologise for the inconvenience experienced by our commuters this morning.
