#AchievementUnlocked 🏆 We’ve officially handed over the stations under Thomson-East Coast Line Phase 3 (#TEL3) to SMRT today with the completion of our civil, structural and systems integration works! 🥳🤎🚆 Over the next few months, SMRT will carry out operational testing to prepare 11 of the stations for welcoming commuters for passenger service by the end of this year. 💪

#DoYouKnow💡 When TEL3 opens, more than 180,000 households will be within a 10-minute walk from a TEL MRT station? #HelloConnectivity 👋

Stay tuned as we “TEL” you more rail updates! #ThereRailBeMore 😉

🎉 #WhatWeHaveBeenUpTo We’ve been busy with the preparations for Stage 4 of the Thomson East Coast Line (#TEL4) which will open next year.

The 7 stations of TEL4 (Tanjung Rhu to Bayshore) should bring a smile to Easties and connect them directly to the city centre and beyond. Station construction is progressing well, and there’s still much to be done. #WorkInProgress

At the same time, our engineers will be meticulously testing the various systems and putting the TEL trains through their paces to get them ready for debut. 🚇🛠️🔍

Here’s a sneak peek of the TEL4 station construction progress. Stay tuned for more updates as #ThereRailBeMore! 🚂❤️

Our East-West Line (#EWL) trains can now turn around faster with the new Pasir Ris rail turnback! 🔁🚆💚

#FunFact The turnback uses a diamond crossover track to reduce the time taken for the trains to turn back and run in the other bound. #WhatAGem 💎

This means that the infrastructure is now in place to provide for reduced headways and shorter wait time between trains, when the need arises. ⏰✅💪

Cheers to greater convenience and connectivity as we continue to improve our rail infrastructure! 🤗 #ThereRailBeMore
