The second stage of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL2) is set to be opened in the third quarter later this year.
As such, final preparations are in full swing as more trains are being tested during operational hours between Woodlands South and Caldecott.
Our Observations
The SGTrains team visited the TEL2 stations earlier this month (Apr 2021).
Construction works at the majority of stations are by and large completed, with minor works still ongoing for the surrounding facilities of a few stations.
