SINGAPORE - Three MRT stations on the East-West Line (EWL) – Tanah Merah, Expo and Changi Airport – will undergo modifications from 2025 so they can be converted into Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) stations in future.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) on April 29 called a tender to appoint a contractor to carry out the addition and alteration works. This is part of a longer-term plan to create a direct MRT connection from Changi Airport to Singapore’s city centre by 2040.
