The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a media statement on Mar 16 that the early completion of EWL track works was made possible by effective coordination of teams and good weather.
EWL train services between Tanah Merah and Expo stations have been unavailable since Mar 14 to facilitate track works needed to disconnect the reception tracks linking the EWL and Changi Depot (CHD).

It added that the EWL has been successfully disconnected from the CHD, as part of the final track works under the commissioning of the new East Coast Integrated Depot in December 2025.
As such, shuttle bus service S8 will cease operations from tomorrow afternoon, added LTA.
LTA said it conducted comprehensive tests, including safety and ultrasonic checks on tracks, power supply system, and signalling system, to ensure safe operations.
“We’re grateful to the over 600 LTA and SMRT engineers and contractors, and 250 ground staff who worked tirelessly to complete the works and assist commuters through the service adjustments,” said LTA.
