|November 26, 2024
The first two new trains for the Sengkang-Punggol LRT arrived in Singapore on Nov 23, and will enter passenger service in the third quarter of 2025.
 
 They are among the 25 new two-carriage trains the authorities are bringing in to cater to increased ridership demand in Sengkang and Punggol, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in a Facebook post on Nov 23.
The post included a video of the new trains being offloaded from a ship.
LTA added that all new trains will be transported to the Sengkang LRT depot for thorough testing and commissioning.
The remaining 23 new two-carriage trains will arrive in Singapore progressively and start operating in batches after the third quarter of 2025.
The new trains are manufactured by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and will provide better passenger comfort, said LTA.
Seventeen of the trains, ordered in 2022, are slated to be progressively delivered from 2024 to 2027.
The remaining eight trains, ordered in 2023, will progressively arrive from the second half of 2027.
