A faulty brake was the likely cause of the smoke, says SMRT Trains.
At approximately 11:40 am on Tuesday, September 15, commuters were evacuated from a train at Bukit Gombak station in Singapore following the detection of smoke emanating from beneath a carriage, as reported by SMRT Trains. Initial assessments indicate that the smoke may have been generated due to a malfunctioning brake system, according to Lam Sheau Kai, the President of SMRT Trains.
As a precautionary measure, SMRT Trains personnel promptly ensured the safe evacuation of all passengers from the train. The vehicle was subsequently moved to the depot for a comprehensive examination. Despite the incident, train services resumed their normal operations, and there were no accounts of passengers requiring medical aid.
