SINGAPORE — A train contract worth S$589 million has been awarded for the Cross Island Line (CRL), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a statement on Wednesday (June 14).
A consortium of CRRC Qingdao Sifang and Singapore CRRC Sifang Railway Vehicles Service will supply 44 new six-car trains for the CRL.
To improve commuters’ accessibility within the train, the gangway — the flexible connector between each train car — will be wider at 1.6m, up from 1.4m on other train lines. “CRRC Sifang has an established track record internationally, having supplied trains to Beijing, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Chicago and Sao Paulo,” said LTA.
