Mobile service on the Circle Line resumed yesterday, with commuters finally able to call, text and access the Internet after a day's suspension.

After the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) announcement last Friday night, the three telcos - Singtel, StarHub and M1 - restarted service between 11am and noon.

Tests were carried out during the shutdown to isolate the cause of the signalling faults that have affected the line since Wednesday morning.

The mysterious signal interference that plagued the Circle Line in late August, causing disruptions with slower train speeds and reduced service frequency for a week, resurfaced two months later.

Dr Park Byung Joon, SIM University senior lecturer in urban transport management, said finding the source of the issue is more challenging than people think.

"It is harder to find the source when it is an intermittent interference than one that is always there. With a constant source, it is easier for radar systems to detect.

"The problem is it happened two months ago and then came back, meaning whatever it was is still there."

While nothing is being ruled out at this stage, Dr Park said the authorities appear to be zeroing in on signal interference, which "means that an electromagnetic field somewhere is interfering with their signalling system".

He said the interference could come from any number of sources, including the mobile network, or nearby buildings with underground equipment that emanates strong electromagnetic fields.

By suspending the mobile services, Dr Park said the authorities would be able to eliminate the network as the cause, and also declutter the saturation of disruptive frequencies in the air, making it easier to find the source.

In a joint statement in September, the LTA and rail operator SMRT said they were installing "spectrum analysers" to detect the presence of interfering signals.

Bet they cannot find the source of the interfering signal .

Rail reliability slips in second quarter, East-West line worst performer: LTA

Published 40 min ago


Christopher Tan

Senior Transport Correspondent

SINGAPORE - Singapore's MRT reliability slipped slightly in the second quarter of the year, with one disruption recorded for every 158,000km clocked, down from 159,000km in the first quarter.

Major disruptions on the rail network - or those lasting 30 minutes or more - remained high. According to figures just released by the Land Transport Authority, there were 10 on the MRT system and eight on the LRT lines.

In the first quarter, there were four recorded on each of the two networks. And for the whole of last year, there were 15 in each network.

Of the lot, the East-West MRT line was the worst performer. It chalked up four major breakdowns in the first six months - already exceeding the total of three it had for the whole of 2015.

Parliament: Replacing Bukit Panjang LRT with bus-only transport system not feasible, says Khaw

Published 2 hours ago


Adrian Lim

SINGAPORE - Replacing the problematic Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT) system with a bus-only transport system is not a feasible option, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan told Parliament on Wednesday (Nov 9).

This is because the road network in Bukit Panjang will not be able to cope with the increased congestion, he added.

Instead, a study is ongoing to see how the 17-year-old system can be re-designed and upgraded to boost reliability and performance, he told the House, in reply to Mr Liang Eng Hwa (Holland-Bukit Timah GRC).

The future of the BPLRT was on the table last month (Oct 2016), after an SMRT blog said several options were being considered by the rail operator and Land Transport Authority (LTA), which include scrapping it.

Mr Khaw, however, dismissed this possibility on Wednesday, saying that it is not feasible. He said that many key components of the BPLRT, including the trains, power rail and the signalling system, are coming to the end of their design lives in about four to five years' time, and will have to be replaced.

"We are taking this opportunity to re-do the BPLRT to enable a step jump in reliability. Fortunately, there are now better technology and designs available compared to 17 years ago," Mr Khaw noted.

Authorities 'very close' to identifying cause of Circle Line signal interferences, says Khaw

SINGAPORE - The authorities are "very close" to uncovering the cause of the disruptions on the Circle Line MRT system, said Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan.

He told Parliament on Wednesday (Nov 9) he was confident that the investigation findings, along with how the problem will be fixed, will be made known to the public in a few days' time.

"The cause is clear - that there is, or there was signal interference. A particular signal is interfering with our wireless signalling system and causing some of this difficulty," Mr Khaw said, in reply to Non-Constituency MP Dennis Tan.

"But tracking down the cause of the signal requires a lot of efforts and is intellectually very challenging because there are many possibilities and we just got to (go), one-by-one, through elimination, and try to establish what exactly is the cause," he added.

Similar problems resurfaced last Wednesday (Nov 2) and caused a disruption of about three hours, affecting thousands of commuters.

Later in the week, telco operators also temporarily suspended mobile services along the Circle Line, so investigators could narrow down the source of the signal interference .

In other words still have not solve the problem. Such a small area too .

Cause for CCL disruption to be out ‘in few days’: Khaw Boon Wan


By Toh Ee Ming

Published: 3:10 PM, November 9, 2016


SINGAPORE — The Government will reveal the exact cause of interference that has repeatedly disrupted train services on the Circle Line (CCL) within this week, said Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan in Parliament on Wednesday (Nov 9).

Responding to a question on improvements to MRT service disruptions, Mr Khaw said the signal problem that has been plaguing the CCL since September is a “very interesting incident” that has challenged his team for several weeks.

While the cause was clear – that there was a particular signal interfering with the trains’ wireless signalling system – he said tracking it down requires a lot of “effort”, as it would take time to eliminate the various possibilities one by one.

“Within this week, we will be able to go public on what exactly was the cause and how we have been able to fix it,” he said.

On the question of reliability, he pointed out that Singapore’s rail reliability has improved, as its MRT trains now travel 158,000 train-km between delays of more than five minutes, up from the performance in 2015 of 133,000 train-km.

But he admitted Singapore is still quite “far off” compared to Hong Kong MTR’s performance of 360,000 train-km and Taipei Metro’s 800,000 train-km. It has also still some way to go in reaching its target of 400,000 train-km by 2018 and 800,000 train-km by 2020 for its MRT lines.

Don't worry la.
Donald j trump elected.
100% garbagememt don't want him elected.

Hopefully he will stick it to garbagement the same way they stick it to sporeans. All the things previous US administration promised spore, he may not fulfill

Garbagement will have to crawl back to Prc n xi da da will fuck them good.

Now ties with China no good, fucked up media got report bo?
