SINGAPORE - Those travelling on the North East Line (NEL) can expect longer travelling time due to a signalling fault in Buangkok on the morning of Feb 10, train operator SBS Transit said.

In a tweet at 6.33am, the public transport operator said commuters can expect an additional 20 minutes to their morning commute.

This came after an earlier tweet at 6.23am, when it said commuters should expect an additional travel time of 10 minutes, which it later updated to 15 minutes.

Free regular bus services are available at Serangoon, Hougang and Sengkang bus interchanges while free bridging bus services are available at bus stops near affected stations between Dhoby Ghaut and Punggol Coast stations, SBS Transit said.
