Two new, modified trains will enter service in the third quarter of 2024.
SINGAPORE – The first two new trains for the Bukit Panjang LRT line are being returned to their manufacturing plant in China for modifications after undergoing rigorous testing, said the Land Transport Authority .
These are the first two of 19 new trains for the BPLRT system that will replace the line’s first-generation vehicles that have been in service since 1999, when the BPLRT opened. LTA said the tests using the prototypes allow for the identification of the modifications needed and for these changes to be rolled out to the other new trains at the China manufacturing plant before they are shipped out.LTA said some of the modifications include wiring changes and equipment replacement for better performance and ease of maintenance.
