Kim Chuan train depot to become even larger than before
30 Oct 2015|3,868 views
When it opened in 2009, Kim Chuan train depot was hailed as the biggest underground depot in the world. By 2025 it will be even bigger, reported The Straits Times.
The 12ha facility, which stables trains for the Circle Line (CCL), will be expanded by another 16ha, allowing it to hold 133 trains, up from the current 70. The project will cost $2.3 billion.
This will give the Land Transport Authority (LTA) the "ability to expand the (train) fleet" in tandem with expected passenger growth on the CCL, which will become a complete loop by 2025, said Chief Executive Chew Men Leong.
To optimise land use, the expanded section of the Kim Chuan depot will also have an above-ground facility to house 550 buses.
