===2012 train disruption===
The Bukit Panjang Light Rapid Transit (LRT) service was disrupted on the afternoon on Apr 22 2012 due to a train fault between Bukit Panjang and Senja stations. The disruption occurred at 4.45pm and affected Services A and C.
 
SMRT said that one train running Service A -- which starts and ends at Choa Chu Kang station via Senja station -- stalled before it entered Senja station.
 
There were 11 passengers on board then. Accompanied by staff, the passengers left the train and walked on a 1.5-metre-wide emergency walkway for about 150 metres to Senja station. Service A was restored two-and-a-half hours later. <ref> {{cite news | title = Bt Panjang LRT service disrupted | publisher = Channel News Asia | date = 22 April 2002 | url = http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1196826/1/.html }}</ref>
