===2005 Train disruption===
At 12.05 pm on 7 April 2005, all 11 trains in the LRT system were affected by a power outage. Three trains were disrupted in between stations. Following the restoration of power supply at 12.20 pm, normal train services resumed. Staff were sent to pacify passengers trapped in the three trains.
Later that day at 1.54 pm, a train that reached the station encountered a fault and was unable to release its brakes. A rescue train was used to push the train back to the depot and services resumed at 2.39 pm.
===2010 Train Disruption===
Train service at the Bukit Panjang LRT was disrupted at about 5.30pm on 23 April 2010 due to a power trip caused by lightning. As a result, two trains with a total of 100 passengers were stalled between Phoenix and Bukit Panjang LRT stations.
SMRT's engineers were able to restore power at 5.48pm on one of the trains, which proceeded to Phoenix Station for about 35 passengers to disembark. However, power could not be restored on the second train. Due to lightning risk and the heavy rain, a rescue train was sent to push out the train. Service was resumed at 6.30pm.
About 5,000 passengers were affected by the disruption. Preliminary investigation showed that the power rail between Phoenix and Bukit Panjang stations was hit by lightning, which caused the power trip and damage to the power equipment on the second train.
