Sneak Peek of Seven Stations for Thomson-East Coast Line 4
“We’re testing the trains and systems rigorously”
Transport Minister S Iswaran said on Friday that some of the tests being conducted for trains and systems include running them on the new tracks and the finer details such as “ensuring the train doors always open in alignment with the platform screen doors”.
“The engineers also check and re-check that all systems at the new stations work seamlessly with existing ones,” Mr Iswaran highlighted.
“These are some of our many efforts to uphold high standards of safety and reliability in our expanding rail system.”
LTA said engineers will be “meticulously testing the various systems” and that new batches of TEL trains will be put “through their paces to get them ready for debut”.
“Station construction is progressing well,” it added.
