Sengkang LRT line
Template:Short description Template:Good article Template:About Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox rail line
The Sengkang LRT line (SKLRT) is a Template:Convert elevated automated guideway transit line in Sengkang, Singapore. The driverless line consists of 14 stations on two loops, with Sengkang station serving as the interchange for both loops and linking the line to the North East MRT line. It is the second Light Rail Transit (LRT) line in Singapore after the Bukit Panjang LRT line, and the first LRT line operated by SBS Transit.
The SKLRT was planned in tandem with the development of the Sengkang estate in the 1990s. Construction of the LRT stations and viaducts was completed in 2001, and the Land Transport Authority transferred operations to SBS Transit in September 2002. The east loop began operations on 18 January 2003, followed by the west loop on 29 January 2005, with Kupang station being the last to open on 27 June 2015.
The line operates using Kyosan Electric's Automated People Mover (APM) fixed block signalling system and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Crystal Mover APM cars. The SKLRT initially ran single-car operations until it was upgraded for two-car operations in December 2015 to accommodate increased ridership. Between 2018 and 2022, the SKLRT underwent further renewal works to improve its reliability. A new fleet of 25 two-car APMs is expected to progressively enter service from 2025 until 2028, replacing 25 one-car trains and half of the 16 two-car trains in the existing fleet.
History
Planning and construction
The Sengkang estate was first earmarked for development in the Urban Redevelopment Authority's 1991 Concept Plan.Template:Sfn At the groundbreaking ceremony of the Bukit Panjang LRT line on 27 September 1996, deputy prime minister Tony Tan announced the government's decision to construct the Sengkang LRT (SKLRT). The line would be developed alongside the Sengkang estate and integrated with future developments, intended to improve accessibility and convenience for residents.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> An exhibition for the SKLRT opened on 7 December 1996 in Ngee Ann City. At the time, according to communications minister Mah Bow Tan, the SKLRT was planned to be completed in 2002.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Cbignore</ref>
The contract for the design and construction of the Sengkang and Punggol LRT lines was awarded to a joint venture on 4 July 1998 for S$656 million (US$Template:ToUSD million<ref name="IMF"/>). The joint venture comprised Singapore Technologies Industrial Corporation (predecessor of Sembcorp), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Corporation.<ref name="c339">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On 20 May 1999, Singapore Bus Service (later renamed SBS Transit)<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Cbignore</ref><ref name=":12">Template:Cite web</ref> was appointed to operate the SKLRT along with the North East MRT line and the Punggol LRT line.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="NAS NEL appointment">Template:Cite web</ref>
Construction of the SKLRT stations and viaducts was completed in 2001.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In December of that year, subcontractor BRR Holdings withdrew from the LRT project due to financial difficulties, and handed over its responsibilities to SembCorp Engineers and Constructors. According to Singapore's transport agency – the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the withdrawal had minimal impact on the construction schedule.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
On 1 September 2002, the LTA transferred operations of the SKLRT to SBS Transit, which conducted extensive test runs and trials on the line. This came in light of frequent delays and breakdowns experienced on the Bukit Panjang LRT.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In December 2002, transport minister Yeo Cheow Tong said the opening of the SKLRT would be delayed due to modifications required for the communication and radio systems.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Due to limited funding from the 1997 financial crisis and low projected ridership, the Sengkang LRT line was initially constructed for single-car operations, even though it had been designed for two. Nevertheless, provisions were made for future upgrades to two-car operations during the expected equipment replacement cycle within 15 to 20 years.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

Upgrades
On 31 October 2012, the LTA announced plans to increase passenger capacity of the Sengkang and Punggol LRT lines (SPLRT) to cater to increased ridership on the SPLRT.<ref name=":8" /> According to SBS Transit, daily ridership had reached 73,000.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The Straits Times reported in September that the LTA had completed engineering studies for upgrading the system from one-car to two-car operations.<ref name=":9">Template:Cite news</ref> The upgrading works involved retrofitting 16 of the 41 one-car trains for two-car operations while purchasing 16 additional cars.<ref name=":8">Template:Cite web</ref> Two-car operations on the SKLRT began on 22 December 2015,<ref name="l609" /> with an official ceremony held on 5 January 2016.<ref name="l076">Template:Cite web</ref> However, in October 2024, Sengkang GRC Member of Parliament (MP) Jamus Lim highlighted commuter concerns about inconsistent train frequencies and the irregular use of two-car trains during peak hours.<ref name="z001" />
On 15 December 2017, the LTA outlined a renewal programme to improve operational reliability on the SPLRT.<ref name="x219">Template:Cite web</ref> These works included power rail and signalling maintenance, along with reinforcing viaduct crossheads and replacing bearings after cracks were found during inspections.<ref name="x219" /><ref name=":6">Template:Cite web</ref> The maintenance works took place on selected Sunday mornings from 14 January to 25 February 2018, during which the affected loops operated unidirectional services.<ref name=":6" /> Unidirectional services continued on Sunday mornings from 4 March to 29 April due to extended maintenance works involving power rail replacements and preventive maintenance on signalling cables.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Rectification works on the concrete plinths and elevated slabs were conducted on Sunday evenings between May 27 and October 7.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="m565">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Maintenance works during service hours continued in 2020,<ref name="b539">Template:Cite web</ref> 2021,<ref name="d960">Template:Cite web</ref> and 2022.<ref name="o025">Template:Cite web</ref> Although these works were originally scheduled for completion in 2022, the LTA announced in 2021 that the renewal had been delayed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref name="p544">Template:Cite web</ref>
Plans to refurbish Sengkang station was announced in May 2018. The upgrades included expanding the LRT platform and installing new dual-speed escalators and a new lift to connect the platforms, concourse and mezzanine levels of the station.<ref name="t8932">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> New signs and queue markings were introduced on the platform to indicate new stopping points for each of the four LRT routes plying the station.<ref name="LTA v238">Template:Cite web</ref> The refurbished LRT platforms began operations at the end of September 2024.<ref name="c661">Template:Cite web</ref>
On 5 February 2021, the LTA said they would purchase 17 two-car trains for the SPLRT, which were expected to be delivered from 2024 to 2027. The Template:Cvt Sengkang Depot would also be expanded to Template:Cvt to increase capacity and maintenance space for the new trains. The depot expansion also included two new reception tracks to reduce train launching time.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="f585">Template:Cite web</ref> In February 2022, the contract for the depot expansion was awarded to Sato Kogyo (S) Pte Ltd for S$157 million (US$Template:ToUSD million), and the contract for the new fleet of trains was awarded to Mitsubishi Corporation for S$439 million (US$Template:ToUSD million).<ref name="LTA New Trains and Depot expansion 2022" /><ref name="e517" /> The new trains entered service on 15 July 2025.<ref name="CNA t890">Template:Cite web</ref>

The Sengkang and Punggol LRT lines (SPLRT) utilise the Crystal Mover Automated People Mover (APM) rolling stock manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.Template:Sfn The rubber-tyred trains are fully automatic and can accommodate up to 105 passengers per vehicle.Template:Sfn<ref name=":5">Template:Cite web</ref> The SPLRT has an initial fleet of 41 APMs, with 16 more APMs delivered under contract C810A.<ref name="c810a">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="l609">Template:Cite web</ref> The APMs are configured for single car or two-car operations,<ref name="c810a"/> with a maximum capacity of 36 trainsets on the network.<ref name="v829">Template:Cite web</ref> In February 2022, the LTA ordered another fleet of 17 two-car APMsTemplate:Efn from Mitsubishi for S$439 million (US$Template:To USD round million<ref name="IMF">Template:Cite web</ref>) .<ref name="LTA New Trains and Depot expansion 2022">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="b586">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="g219">Template:Cite web</ref> This was followed by another order for eight more two-car trains in May 2023, costing S$87 million (US$Template:To USD round million<ref name="IMF"/>).<ref name="e446">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="w538">Template:Cite web</ref> The new trains are set to replace the 25 one-car trains and half of the 16 two-car trains, bringing the overall SPLRT fleet to 33 two-car APMs.<ref name="e446"/> The first two trainsets were delivered to Singapore on 23 November 2024,<ref name="p638">Template:Cite web</ref> and entered passenger service on 15 July 2025.<ref name="CNA t890" />
The Crystal Mover APMs have a top speed of Template:Convert, with a maximum operational speed of Template:Convert.Template:Sfn They are powered by 750V DC third rail located on one side of the guideway.Template:Sfn Each vehicle is Template:Convert long and Template:Convert wide.Template:Sfn The exterior has a crystal-like design with a polyhedral nose reflective of its namesake. Mitsubishi describes the curved sides of the Crystal Mover APM as a design choice to "soften" the sharpness of its polyhedral shape. The exterior is painted pearl white and indigo blue.Template:Sfn
As driverless cars, the APMs do not include a driver cabin.Template:Sfn Instead, detrainment doors at both ends of the cabin allow emergency evacuation of passengers onto the track.<ref name="LRT safety tips">Template:Cite web</ref> The emergency stop button and emergency notice system are located at the right-side corner of the vehicle's front, while line maps and service information are displayed on the left. The interior features white side panels and ceiling, a grey floor, grayish-blue seats, and handrails and grip bars accented in a wine color.Template:Sfn The cabins are air-conditioned.Template:Sfn
The SPLRT trains are maintained and stabled on the second floor of Sengkang Depot.Template:Sfn Located between the Layar and Tongkang LRT stations,<ref name="Annex A">Template:Cite web</ref> the depot also houses the trains of the North East Line.<ref name="LTA New Trains and Depot expansion 2022"/> Its facilitates include a two-story main building with an operation control center room, automatic vehicle washing facility, maintenance garage, departure inspection track, stabling yard, power receiving and transforming facilities, and a test track.Template:Sfn The Template:Convert site is being expanded to Template:Convert, which will include two more reception tracks and three new traction power substations to expand the depot's stabling and maintenance capacity.<ref name="LTA New Trains and Depot expansion 2022"/><ref name="e517">Template:Cite web</ref>
Train control and power system
The Sengkang LRT line is fully automatic<ref name=":5" /> and is equipped with a Kyosan Electric APM fixed block signalling system.Template:Sfn<ref name="n850">Template:Cite web</ref> The line's automatic train control (ATC) is composed of automatic train protection (ATP) which ensures safe operations, automatic train operation (ATO) which controls the automatic operations, and automatic train supervision (ATS) for overall command, monitoring and recording of the system.Template:Sfn To reduce equipment mass on the train, the onboard ATP and ATO systems are integrated into one unit, although for safety reasons, the function and control logic of the ATP and ATO systems remain independent.Template:Sfn These subsystems are connected via LAN and managed by a computer-based interlocking (CBI) system that oversees traffic safety of the APM.Template:Sfn<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In July 2024, the LTA reported that the SPLRT has a "mean kilometres between failures" (MKBF) of 814,000 train-km (Template:Convert train-miles), which was a decrease from 1.22 million train-km (Template:Convert train-miles) in 2023.<ref name="x002">Template:Cite web</ref>
The power system of the SKLRT includes a 22 kV AC power intake and distribution network, a 750V DC traction power system, and a 400V AC system for station services. Power is supplied via two 22kV AC feeders from the North East Line to improve reliability and take advantage of the 66kV tariff. The AC supply is distributed through a closed ring network to prevent power disruptions during single outages. At each station, the AC supply is stepped down to 400V AC using service transformers for mechanical and electrical needs. Traction power substations (TPSS) further step down the 22kV AC to power rectifiers that convert it to 750V DC for train operations. Each TPSS is equipped with an inverter system to return excess energy from regenerative braking back to the 22kV distribution network. In 2004, the SKLRT had three TPSS, with one on standby to maintain operations during outages;<ref name="f922">Template:Cite conference</ref> it presently has five operational substations, which will increase to eight with the planned expansion of Sengkang Depot.<ref name="f585" />
Station facilities
All Sengkang LRT stations are equipped with lifts connecting passengers from the ground level to the station concourse, and from the concourse to the platform level. Each station also has at least one wider faregate for wheelchair users and tactile flooring to guide the visually-impaired from the ground floor to the platforms.<ref name="h307">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The stations are also equipped with fire extinguishers and fire phones. Emergency stop buttons on both sides of the station platform, when activated, cut off traction power supply and halt incoming trains.<ref name="LRT safety tips"/>
Fixed platform barriers are intended to prevent commuters falling to the tracks. However, these barriers lack doors and instead have fixed openings for boarding, as the limited space on LRT platforms cannot accommodate the power, communications, and signal control systems required for platform screen doors.<ref name="u587">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="b328">Template:Cite web</ref> To enhance safety, SBS Transit has implemented the VAnGuard track intrusion detection system on the SPLRT.<ref name="q325"/> Using video analytics and artificial intelligence, the system monitors footage of tracks and platforms to identify individuals or objects on the tracks.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> When an intrusion is detected, operations control centre staff can press the emergency stop button to halt services on a specific loop. The system also triggers an alarm when intruders or foreign objects are detected. In addition to track intrusions, the system can spot unattended items on station platforms, allowing staff to provide assistance or undertake security precautions.<ref name="q325">Template:Cite web</ref>
