In a social media post at 5.05pm, SMRT said the train fault would lead to an additional 10 minutes of travel time.

In a subsequent post at 5.13pm, the operator said a shuttle train service was available between Woodlands North and Woodlands South, as well as between Woodlands South and Lentor.

Commuters could also take a provisory service between Lentor and Bayshore stations, as well as free regular bus services between Woodlands North and Lentor.

At 5.52pm, SMRT updated that train service had fully resumed.
