If you happen to be in the vicinity of `Next station, Yishun,` you may come across these familiar-looking community chairs.
These chairs are actually repurposed and upcycled from a decommissioned MRT train which served commuters on the North-South and East-West MRT lines (NSEWL) since it began passenger service on Nov 7, 1987.
The new Alstom Movia R151 – the seventh-generation MRT trains for the North-South and East-West MRT lines (NSEWL) – has many new features, as showcased in a Facebook Live by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Friday afternoon (Mar 25).

We recently had the final tunnel breakthrough for the sixth stage of the Circle Line (CCL6) at Cantonment MRT station, which involved tunnelling just six metres beneath the historic Tanjong Pagar Railway Station – equipped with 600 sensors monitoring its structural integrity.
Contrary to that, a stretch of the upcoming Cross Island Line (CRL) will involve tunnelling at 70 metres beneath the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR), which is roughly the height of a 24-storey housing block, but underground instead!
With the increasing growth in tunnelling projects especially for land transport, there is a demand for more engineers to be specialists of the underground and its infrastructure.
