Transport Disruptions Affect Exams and Services

A train disruption on the East-West Line (EWL) in Singapore affected several Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) candidates, causing five students to be late for their exams on September 26. The Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) confirmed that the affected students were given the full duration of the exam upon arrival. Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat assured a thorough investigation into the disruption, which required alternative transport arrangements, including free bus services. Meanwhile, in the UK, an incident at a level crossing suspended train services between Southampton Central and Bournemouth, and delays due to a collision were reported on Dublin’s M50 motorway. These disruptions highlight the impact of transport issues on daily activities and critical events like exams.
