SINGAPORE — Forty new trains will enter service on the North-South and East-West Lines (NSEWL) from 2024 to replace ageing second- and third-generation trains that are serving Singapore's oldest MRT lines. 

The S$337.8 million acquisition of the newest batch of Bombardier Transportation trains, announced by the Land Transport Authority on Monday (Sept 28), is the latest in a series of efforts to improve the reliability of the two lines.
