==Major disruptions==

A major breakdown occurred on 15 March 2012 affected 90,000 commuters due to a power supply problem in the tunnel at Outram Park station. This caused train services to be disrupted, between 0630 and 1635, on NEL between Harbourfront and Dhoby Ghaut stations. Subsequently, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) intends to impose financial penalties amounting to S$400,000 (approximately US$315,000) on SBS Transit for the disruption.<ref>{{cite news| title = SBS Transit fined S$400,000 for March train disruption | publisher = Channel NewsAsia | date = 4 September 2012 | url =http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1223932/1/.html}}</ref>


A malfunction in the platform screen doors at Botanic Gardens MRT Station resulted in trains bypassing the station and a seven-hour disruption on Wednesday (3 May 2017). Downtown Line operator SBS Transit said the doors malfunctioned at 5.45am due to a signalling-related fault, and could not open automatically. The fault was rectified at 12.54pm and the platform opened for passenger service.
