SINGAPORE - Residents in Bukit Panjang and Choa Chu Kang can look forward to new LRT trains promising higher reliability as early as this Christmas.

The first of 19 new trains on the Bukit Panjang LRT has arrived and is undergoing testing before it is put into service.

Despite the pandemic, LTA said the overhaul is on schedule to be completed by 2024 - the original target when the overhaul contract involving replacing the line's signalling and power systems, among other things, was awarded in 2018. "Two of these retrofitted trains arrived in April 2021," an LTA spokesman said, adding that they are also undergoing testing here."We are focused on ensuring the reliability and safety of the vehicles before putting them into passenger service."
