In mid-September, the first J151 train for the Jurong Region Line (JRL) arrived on Singapore's shores, 2 years before the line is set to open. The train spotted by various eagle eyed rail fans, set 03, was notably delivered to Tengah Depot. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) launched a video detailing the arrival of the train from South Korea, providing some first looks at the interior of Tengah Depot. Contractor China Railway Bureau No 11 (CR11) has been rushing to ensure that the rolling stock workshops and stabling yard were sufficiently completed to allow for delivery to take place. The test track has also been fast tracked, to allow for dynamic testing of the trains within the depot before they are launched onto the main line in the years to come. All these requires tremendous amounts of coordination among various stakeholders in order for the commissioning of the line to come to fruition. There's still some way to go, but step by step, the line is getting there. Jia you & Ganbatte (화이팅!) to the teams involved!
