By end-February 2026, seven new Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) would have already been deployed on the Sengkang-Punggol Light Rail Transit (LRT). The remaining 18 new LRVs will be progressively deployed across the Sengkang-Punggol LRT network from early 2027 onwards, after the completion of the Sengkang-Punggol depot expansion works. The exact timeline for deployment will be determined based on the prevailing operational requirements and ridership patterns at the time.
