In January 2008, in the early morning, a service cart collided with a train while approaching the Tampines MRT Station. All MRT services between Pasir Ris MRT Station and Tanah Merah MRT Station was disrupted until about 2 p.m

Technical Fault near the Station

At around 8:58am on 19 April 2007, a portion of the MRT track between Tampines MRT Station and Pasir Ris MRT Station was not functioning properly. Several public service announcements had been made saying that the train service will be disrupted for about five minutes. The SMRT staff had to evacuate the station while fixing the problem. As a result, all eastbound trains had to terminate at Tampines MRT Station and continue its westbound service. The affected commuters were told that they have three days to collect their refunds from the SMRT. Normal train service was then resumed at 9.28 am and the commuters were then allowed to enter the MRT station again.
