SINGAPORE - Trains on the Thomson-East Coast Line will arrive at stations every six minutes during off-peak hours whenThis is down from the current interval of nine minutes.
In an interview, LTA group director for rail Yee Boon Cheow said tests were done using train frequencies higher than what is used for passenger service, to ensure the systems can cope with the increased load. One issue being ironed out before TEL3 opens is the loud train noise along existing sections of the MRT line that some commuters have complained about.
In all, there are about 20 systems that need to be tested after a new MRT line is built, and checks must also be done to ensure these systems – which include the trains, tracks, signalling system and power supply – can work well with one another, said Mr Yee. The time available was reduced further, as the rail systems had to be reconfigured to include TEL3 before testing could start, and then configured back before passenger service for TEL1 and TEL2 began the next day.
