Implementation Timeline and Order of Roll-out for Two-carriage Trains for Sengkang-Punggol LRT

Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Acting Minister for Transport regarding the 25 new two-carriage trains ordered for the Sengkang-Punggol LRT (a) what is the detailed timeline for implementation on both loops in Sengkang and in Punggol; and (b) what factors determine the order of rollout across these service areas.

Mr Jeffrey Siow: We are on track to fully deploy the new two-car Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) for the Sengkang-Punggol LRT (SPLRT) by end-2028. Two LRVs have already been deployed, and the remaining LRVs will be deployed across the SPLRT based on operational requirements and prevailing passenger loading conditions as they arrive.
