Reason on Train terminating at Yishun Station

Reason why trains heading towards Jurong East, there are in-between trains terminating at Yishun?

During peak hours in weekdays, northbound trains will terminate at platform A of Yishun MRT Station, to perform a turnaround at the middle track located between Sembawang and Yishun station (as there are 3 rail lines so that the trains can easily switch track without disturbing on coming train service), after that, the turnaround train will arrive at platform B of the station to travel towards Marina Bay. Such turnaround train service provides a higher train frequency for passengers travelling towards Marina Bay from Yishun as the passenger loading along this stretch of line is higher than that of between Yishun and Jurong East.
