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.

===2010 accident===
The first ever staff fatality on the MRT or LRT systems occurred on 17 October 2010 at 8 am when Mr Chia Teck Heng, who was carrying out maintenance works on the tracks of a Light Rapid Transit station was hit by a train at this station while checking the power rail between Phoenix and Bukit Panjang stations.
