  • Embargoed Until the Speech Is Completely Delivered. to Check Against Delivery
    Embargoed until the speech is completely delivered. To check against delivery. SPEECH BY MR KHAW BOON WAN, COORDINATING MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT, 13 NOVEMBER 2017, 9.45AM, AT TUAS WEST MRT DEPOT “A Tale of Two Lines” Good morning ladies and gentlemen, At age 30, the North-South Line is our oldest MRT line, while the Downtown Line is our newest. 2. I asked the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to compare both lines and highlight the differences. Thirty years separate these two lines and some of the differences are stark. 3. First, the first phase of the North-South Line, cost us around $2.74 billion to build, or $4.41 billion in today’s dollars. The Downtown Line cost us close to $21 billion. The cost per kilometre has gone up from $160 million to $490 million. 4. Second, the North-South Line is about 40 per cent underground while the Downtown Line is completely underground. 5. Third, the North-South Line has 26 stations, of which 8, or 30 per cent are interchange stations. The Downtown Line has 34 stations, of which 11, or 32 per cent are interchange stations. More interchange stations means a higher level of network resilience. 6. Fourth, the North-South Line has an average of two entrances/exits per station. Likewise for the Downtown Line. For the new Thomson-East Coast Line that is under construction, we will be providing for an average of close to four entrances/exits per station. More entrances/exits mean greater convenience for commuters. 7.

  • SMRT Trains Uplifts Rail Reliability in Singapore with Track
    SMRT Trains uplifts rail reliability in Singapore with Track Access Management System Strides Engineering extends collaboration with PCCW Solutions for joint go-to-market PCCW (SEHK: 0008) – HONG KONG / SINGAPORE, August 16, 2021 – SMRT Trains, the pioneer Mass Rapid Transit operator in Singapore, and PCCW Solutions, the IT services flagship of PCCW Limited, announced today the full roll-out of the Track Access Management System (TAMS) to the North-South and East-West lines (NSEWL), Singapore’s oldest Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) lines. TAMS is a digital solution developed by SMRT Trains and PCCW Solutions to digitalize and automate track access allocation for the regular maintenance and planning of engineering works. Replacing time-consuming and labor-intensive manual processes, TAMS is a holistic system with real-time updates of track allocation status and access progress, providing end-to-end visibility of workflows. In addition to optimizing productivity, the system has built-in safety rules to conduct conflict checks on each scheduled track access request against safety requirements, ensuring safety standards are upheld for all stakeholders. The implementation of TAMS has saved the operator 30,000 manhours per year and contributed to increased rail reliability through optimized maintenance efforts. In 2020, the North-South Line (NSL) achieved more than 1.3 million Mean Kilometres Between Failure (MKBF) and the East-West Line (EWL) achieved more than 1.4 million MKBF. Following the success of TAMS for NSEWL, SMRT Trains has embarked on its implementation for the Circle Line (CCL), Bukit Panjang Light Rail Transit (BPLRT) network, and six depots, to reap further productivity gains.
