===2008 Train Disruptions===
===2003 power trips===
On 21 January 2008, a maintenance works train which was carrying out works between Tampines and {{Stn|Simei}} (westbound) broke down, causing a disruption from 5.28am to 12.45pm on both direction from {{Stn|Pasir Ris}} and {{Stn|Tanah Merah}}, affecting 57,000 commuters.<ref>[//www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/323882/1/.html "57,000 affected by seven-hour MRT train disruption"]. Channel NewsAsia. Retrieved 21 January 2008.</ref> SMRT was fined $387,176 on 10 March 2008 after the LTA's investigations concluded that the disruption was due to SMRT's working party not complying with operating procedures. This was specifically on securing the parked portion of the maintenance train, which comprised a locomotive and a wagon. The fine was the largest ever for a rail related incident in Singapore. According to operating procedures, during maintenance works, the portion comprising a locomotive and a Rail Grinding Vehicle will proceed with its works, while the portion of the maintenance train is detached and parked at a distance from the working zone. However, investigations from LTA and SMRT showed that SMRT did not apply the locomotive's parking brake. There was also no wheel chock placed to prevent movement along the gradient of the track. If SMRT had followed operating procedures, a roll-back would have been prevented.<ref>[//www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/334015/1/.html "SMRT fined almost S$400,000 for 7-hour train disruption in January"]. Channel NewsAsia. Retrieved 10 March 2008.</ref>
On 8 August 2003, a westbound train lost traction current at 10.13pm and stalled along the track between {{Stn|Pasir Ris}} and Tampines stations. An empty train was used to push the train towards Tampines and service resumed at 10.35pm. However the traction current tripped again 21 minutes later in both directions. SMRT staff only managed to restore the eastbound side before the end of operating hours whereas a detrainment was carried out for the westbound train. 73 passengers were stuck in a westbound train and detrainment was carried out. During both delays, eastbound services terminated at Tampines and alternative transport was provided for affected passengers.<ref>"Power trips, disrupting SMRT train services". Straits Times (p28, 10 August 2003).</ref>
 
On 20 March 2008, SMRT announced that it had decided to appeal to the LTA against the fine. In a letter, SMRT said it had provided free shuttle bus services to help affected commuters. SMRT also mobilised more than 300 staff for on-site recovery, crowd management, dissemination of information and preparation for resumption of service.<ref>[//www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/336286/1/.html "SMRT appeals to LTA to review S$400,000 penalty"]. Channel NewsAsia. Retrieved 20 March 2008.</ref>


On 3 April 2008, LTA turned down SMRT's appeal for a lower fine and ordered SMRT to pay the fine in full within two weeks.<ref>[//www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/339155/1/.html "LTA rejects SMRT's request for reduced penalty amount"].

==Artworks==
''The Big Round & The Tall Long'' by Studio Juju is an artwork that allows commuters to experience the relationship between oneself and the hyperbolic shapes, and oneself to the vastness of the station.
*[[File:DT32-The Big Round & The Tall Long.png|300px]]<br>{{DTL}}: ''The Big Round & The Tall Long'' by Studio Juju<br>Comprising a white round structure and a orange-red long one, this set of large geometrical forms brings a sense of calm and order into the station environment. The shapes on the wall are complemented by reflecting benches on the platform, creating a sense of symmetry.<ref>[//www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/getting_around/public_transport/a_better_public_transport_experience/art_in_transit.html "Art in Transit"].

History[edit]

Date Event
16 December 1989 Station officially opened
21 October 2017 Station interchanged with Downtown Line

2003 power trips[edit]

On 8 August 2003, a westbound train lost traction current at 10.13pm and stalled along the track between Pasir Ris and Tampines stations. An empty train was used to push the train towards Tampines and service resumed at 10.35pm. However the traction current tripped again 21 minutes later in both directions. SMRT staff only managed to restore the eastbound side before the end of operating hours whereas a detrainment was carried out for the westbound train. 73 passengers were stuck in a westbound train and detrainment was carried out. During both delays, eastbound services terminated at Tampines and alternative transport was provided for affected passengers.[1]

2008 train disruption[edit]

On 21 January 2008, a maintenance works train which was carrying out works between Tampines and Simei broke down, causing a disruption from 5.28am to 12.45pm on both directions from Pasir Ris and Tanah Merah, affecting 57,000 commuters.[2][3] SMRT was fined on 10 March that year after investigations concluded that the disruption was due to the working party not complying with operating procedures.[4]

    Comprising a white round structure and a orange-red long one, this set of large geometrical forms brings a sense of calm and order into the station environment. The shapes on the wall are complemented by reflecting benches on the platform, creating a sense of symmetry.[5]
