The ITTC will be able to test trains and other crucial railway processes such as electrical and signaling systems 24/7.
On April 24 , the LTA released details on its new Integrated Train Testing Centre which will be located at the former Raffles Country Club.
Mr Chua Chong Kheng, LTA’s deputy chief executive for infrastructure and development, said that “This approach frees up precious engineering hours for other activities, such as railway maintenance, and reduces the need for future early closures and late openings.” Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan mentioned the realization on the side of the authorities for the need of this centre as “part of the lessons we learnt when we re-signalled the North-South and subsequent East-West lines.”
