On 25 September 2024, train services on the East–West Line (EWL) of the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit system (MRT) were disrupted when an axle box on a Kawasaki C151 train dislodged, derailing the train and damaging the track and equipment between Clementi and Dover stations. This resulted in the suspension of regularRead more
services between Boon Lay and Queenstown stations, affecting more than 2 million commuters.
Experts described such incidents as "rare". The damage was extensive, and services were not restored for several days. During restoration works by engineers from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and SMRT Corporation, shuttle train services were restored between Queenstown and Buona Vista stations, and between Jurong East and Boon Lay stations. Bus-bridging services were provided for the closed segment between Buona Vista and Jurong East stations. Full services on the EWL resumed on 1 October.
This was the worst breakdown in the MRT network's history. Investigations began on 2 October, and the LTA and the Transport Safety Investigation Bureau (TSIB) released separate findings on 3 June 2025. The LTA report concluded the failure began with degraded grease in an axle bearing, which caused overheating and fire damage to the chevron springs. This led to the detachment of the axle box and the train's derailment near Dover station. The TSIB report added that a repair of the SMRT's Hot Axle Box Detection System's "Null ID" error could have identified the affected train and prevented the incident. SMRT was subsequently fined S$2.4 million (US$1.8 million) and the Kawasaki C151 trains were withdrawn from revenue service by September 2025.
