LTA and SMRT, in a statement on Thursday (Nov 16), said they have decided to isolate for up to one month the operations of the Tuas West Extension, which runs on the new signalling system, from the rest of the East-West Line, which runs on the old signalling system.
This will enable the engineers to carry out further assurance checks together with Thales, said the statement. "As we need some time to prepare our commuters and our staff for this arrangement, the suspension of Tuas West Extension will continue till Sunday." Train service on the Tuas West Extension between Gul Circle and Tuas Link will resume operations on Monday (Nov 20), using the new signalling system. ST PHOTO: JONATHAN CHOO
