The new trains will have ergonomic perch seats to accommodate more commuters, as well as more open spaces for strollers and wheelchair users.
SINGAPORE: The first of the new MRT trains for the North-South and East-West Lines will enter passenger service progressively from Sunday , the Land Transport Authority announced on Thursday.
The new train cabins will have an LCD display system above every door to show the route and station information. To enhance reliability and enable efficient maintenance, the new trains will be equipped with a “self-test system”, which automatically checks that the trains are fit for operation before services commence each day, said LTA in its news release.
The new trains were purchased from Alstom SA, and approximately two trains will be put into service every month. Trains from the earliest generation of six-car trains, with the oldest having been in operation for more than 30 years, will be gradually decommissioned. All 106 new trains are expected to be rolled out by the end of 2026.
