(Reuters) - The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against an independent tribunal's decision in August to clear world number one Jannik Sinner of wrongdoing after he failed drug tests, WADA said on Saturday.
SINGAPORE: Train services along a four-station stretch of the East-West Line between Jurong East and Buona Vista will remain disrupted over the weekend, in a breakdown that has affected the commutes of more than 1.3 million passengers so far.A defective axle box – a component on a train’s undercarriage – fell out near Dover station. This caused the undercarriage, or bogie, to go off the rails.
These included replacing sleepers that hold the running rail in place, changing the third rail that supplies power to trains, upgrading the signalling system, and renewing the power-supply system. It is the first time a defective axle box has dislodged from an SMRT train, and such occurrences are rare.
“This is because axle boxes are designed to be very robust, so it is hard to think of why it fell off,” said Prof Yap, who is also a member of the railway and transportation engineering technical committee at the Institution of Engineers, Singapore. Another question is why the train continued travelling on the westbound track towards Ulu Pandan Depot despite the bogie being derailed, causing severe track and equipment damage.
These systems collect data from onboard sensors so that pre-emptive maintenance can be done before faults happen.Whether sufficient checks were done on the defective part before the incident is another issue that the investigation should look at.
