Alstom mentioned that “the children then toured the factory and inspected the Singapore, Harbin Line 3 and BCIA trains currently being built in the factory.”
In a press release photograph released by the manufacturer, we can spot the Bombardier MOVIA R151 trains in the background.
The train dons the highly anticipated LTA livery, featuring the colours red and green, representing our North-South Line (NSL) and East-West Line (EWL) respectively.

106 Bombardier MOVIA R151 trains were purchased to replace the first generation Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151 trains, the second generation Siemens C651 trains and the third generation Kawasaki-Nippon Sharyo C751B trains of the NSL and EWL.
The design of the trains are done in Germany whereas the coordination for the design is led by Bombardier’s team based in Singapore. They will be manufactured and assembled in Changchun, China before arriving in batches later this year.
The R151 trains will then commence service from 2022 onwards.
