2 stations to open when nearby housing is ready
All civil and structural works as well as systems integration and testing activities for the third stage of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) have been completed, with 11 new stations set to open by the end of this year.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said it handed over the 11 stations to SMRT yesterday for the rail operator to carry out further testing on the signalling system over the next few months in preparation for the opening.
In March, Transport Minister S. Iswaran said the 11 new TEL stations, from Stevens to Marina Bay, as well as Gardens by the Bay, would begin operating in the second half of this year.
In response to media queries, LTA said the systems used for TEL Stage 3 have been rigorously tested to ensure they do not affect the safety and operations of existing MRT systems.
Initial testing of the signalling system was done on separate test servers that were segregated from the operational servers used for TEL stages 1 and 2, LTA said.
