The document mentions that a train breakdown led to delayed service on the North-South Line between Ang Mo Kio and Jurong East stations. A scheduled delay of 10-20 minutes should be expected by passengers who commute through this particular line. SMRT arranged cost-free buses for commuters during the delays as well as Thomson-East Coast Line services operate toward Woodlands. People who need to commute today should always stay informed about the most recent developments.
