New 2-car trains for Sengkang-Punggol LRT to enter service in July 2025

The new two-car trains for the Sengkang-Punggol LRT will enter service in the third quarter of 2025.

According to Sun Xueling, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Punggol, the new trains will be "coming to Punggol LRT West Loop" in July 2025.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) shared a sneak peek of the new two-car trains in Singapore.

The new cars will feature LED lighting, improved air conditioning units, additional seats, and a refreshed interior colour scheme.

In 2023, LTA announced that it secured eight new two-car trains for the Sengkang-Punggol LRT lines, bringing the total number of new LRT trains to 25.

The eight new trains will replace half of the existing fleet of two-car models.

The contract for the eight new trains is valued at around S$87 million.

The new trains will arrive progressively from 2024. Once all the new trains arrive, the Sengkang-Punggol LRT will have a fleet of 33 two-car trains, according to The Straits Times.
