🚆 #DidYouKnow that the Thomson-East Coast Line (#TEL) intersects with all existing lines in our MRT network?

🤔 However, constructing interchange stations comes with many challenges. For example, to construct the #TEL3 Stevens interchange station, we had to build new stacked tunnels between existing #DTL tunnels with ‘live’ train services running every single day. #EngineeringWOW 🏗💪🏽

👀 Check out this video made by one of our engineers to see how we managed to pull off this seemingly impossible feat!
#TGIF Knocking off and ready to paint the town red? 💼🥳 Join us at the (very red ❤️ and very centrally located📍) #TEL Orchard station for the #TEL3OpeningEvent! 🤎🚇🎪

You can look forward to fun carnival booths and performances, with exciting prizes to be won! 🎁🤩

#ICYMI You’ll get to travel for FREE along all 11 #TEL3 stations till 9pm today! Check out our wayfinding guide 📔 to see how you can access the stations ➡️ go.gov.sg/tel3-wayfinding
The last two Thomson-East Coast Line (#TEL) trains have arrived at our shores! Now all 91 TEL four-car trains have been delivered! 🤎🚆🇸🇬

The new trains will undergo testing and commissioning works at Mandai Depot before they can be ready to pick you up on the eastern stretch of TEL (Stages 4/5). 🛠️

#WhileYouWereSleeping As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain a high level of operational readiness in our public transport network, we conducted #ExerciseGreyhound, a joint ground deployment exercise for LTA to validate the rail operators’ contingency plans in the event of a train service disruption. 🚆📋

During the exercise, LTA, SBST and SMRT personnel simulated a multi-line train service disruption along the #TEL and #NEL at Outram Park MRT station. Station staff were deployed to assist commuters and bridging bus services were activated between affected stations.

Check out snippets of what went on last night in the photos above. 👆
#DidYouKnow With the construction of the #TEL extension, a 1km stretch of the rail viaduct at Tanah Merah MRT station will be decommissioned in 2026. 🚆

As part of our sustainability efforts 🌱🌎, we’re looking to repurpose the viaduct area and a section of the #Changi Depot Building to:

Create a vibrant public space for various community and/or recreational uses 😍; and

Reduce demolition waste 🏗 at the same time!

Share your ideas on how the #TanahMerah MRT viaduct can be transformed into new community spaces at ➡️ go.gov.sg/viaduct.

#PSA 📢 Heading to Woodlands MRT station on 30 Nov 2023?

Do note that we will be conducting Exercise Station Guard – an emergency preparedness exercise – from 10am to 4pm on the 🔴 #NSL and 🟤 #TEL.

During the exercise, commuters will be directed towards the #NSL and #TEL fare gates near Exits 3 and 4 respectively. You may be asked to go through metal detector checks and have your belongings scanned by X-ray machines.

💡 #TravelTip Factor in additional time 🕰 for your journey and avoid bringing bulky items since these may require more time to clear security checks.
#HappeningNow Travelling to/from Woodlands MRT station on the 🔴 #NSL or 🟤 #TEL today?

You may be asked to go through a security screening as part of Exercise Station Guard. This exercise is conducted regularly to validate our security measures at public transport nodes and help familiarise commuters on how they should respond if there’s an emergency on our public transport network.

Do factor in additional travel time for the screening and avoid bringing bulky items.
We’ve just awarded the contract for the design and construction of tunnels between the Cross Island Line Phase 2 (#CRL2) Jurong Lake District station and West Coast station (working names) to Nishimatsu Construction Co. Ltd – Okumura Corporation Singapore Branch Joint Venture!

Both companies have a strong track record of undertaking tunnelling projects in Singapore and abroad. 💪🚧 Nishimatsu Construction Co. Ltd is currently constructing the bored tunnels between #CRL Tampines North station and Defu station and have previously completed tunnelling works for #CCL6 Keppel station and #TEL Gardens by the Bay station. 🚇 Okumura Corporation has worked on projects such as the Deep Tunnel Sewerage System, Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway and Taipei MRT Airport Line.

Works for these tunnels are expected to start in Q4 2024 and passenger service for CRL2 is slated to commence in 2032.
