MRT service changes needed to modify 3 East-West Line stations on Changi Airport stretch: LTA
Find out what's new on ST website and app. The modifications are being done to convert the three EWL stations, including Changi Airport station (pictured), into Thomson-East Coast Line stations. SINGAPORE - MRT passengers will need to bear with adjustments to train services along certain stretches of the East-West Line (EWL) in the coming years, as extensive modifications to three EWL stations – Tanah Merah, Expo and Changi Airport – are set to begin in the third quarter of 2025. The modifications are being done to convert the three EWL stations into Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) stations, as part of a larger plan to create a direct MRT connection from Changi Airport to Singapore's city centre. More details about the works were released by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on July 25. When converted, Tanah Merah, Expo and Changi Airport stations will become part of a new TEL extension, which will pass through the future Terminal 5 (T5) and connect with the upcoming Sungei Bedok TEL station, which is slated to open in the second half of 2026. This 14km extension is expected to be completed in the mid-2030s, LTA said in response to queries. This is the same period that T5 will open. At present, those taking the MRT between the city and the airport have to switch trains at Tanah Merah station. This is because Expo and Changi Airport stations are on a branch of the EWL that operates as a separate shuttle train service. Preparatory works to modify Tanah Merah station into an interchange station between the EWL and the TEL have been under way since 2016. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

With the new TEL extension, LTA said future passengers from the existing Changi Airport station and the new Changi T5 station will have seamless and convenient access to the TEL network. For example, an MRT journey between Changi Airport and Gardens by the Bay will take 40 minutes with the new TEL extension, compared with an hour today. LTA told The Straits Times that service adjustments will be needed in future to carve out additional engineering hours so that the modifications to Tanah Merah, Expo and Changi Airport stations , as well as subsequent system integration works, can be done. These works will involve changing out key systems such as signalling, communications, controls and power supply, as well as altering the three existing EWL stations, and the connecting tunnels and viaducts, to accommodate these changes. The alterations are needed because the EWL and TEL run on different systems. For instance, the EWL uses six-car trains with four doors per train car, while the TEL uses four-car trains with five doors per train car. This will require changes to be made to the platform screen doors at Tanah Merah, Expo and Changi Airport stations. Additional engineering hours will also be needed to connect the existing MRT tracks to new tracks leading to the future Changi T5 station, which will serve as an interchange between the TEL extension and the future Cross Island Line, LTA noted. More information about the train service adjustments will be made public after detailed planning is carried out, LTA said. Alternative travel options, such as shuttle bus services, will be made available to minimise the impact on passengers, it added. LTA said the appointed contractor will carry out noise studies and put in place the necessary controls, such as noise barriers. There will also be other measures to control dust, soil erosion and vibration during construction. The authority awarded a $94.3 million contract to Chiu Teng Construction on July 14 to carry out the modifications to Tanah Merah, Expo and Changi Airport stations. Five bids were submitted, but only two were shortlisted after a technical assessment. The other shortlisted bid was by engineering company Swee Builders for $80.8 million.

From green to brown: Tanah Merah, Expo and Changi Airport MRT stations to be converted to TEL stations , Singapore News
East-West Line MRT stations Tanah Merah, Expo and Changi are set to be converted to the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced on Friday (July 25). A new interchange station - the TEL-Cross Island Line (CRL) interchange station at Terminal 5 - will also enable a direct rail connection between Changi Airport and the city centre. This new TEL-CRL interchange station will be part of the Thomson-East Coast Line extension (TELe). This 14km addition will extend the TEL from Sungei Bedok station to the new interchange station which will then connect to Tanah Merah station. From there, the TEL will be further extended to connect to Tanah Merah station, with the existing East-West Line stretch between Changi Airport and Tanah Merah stations converted to TEL systems. "Future passengers from the existing Changi Airport station and the new Changi Terminal 5 station will enjoy seamless and convenient access to the TEL network," said LTA. Preparatory works to modify Tanah Merah station into an interchange station between the East-West Line and TEL have been ongoing since 2016. The integration of Tanah Merah, Expo and Changi Airport stations as TEL stations will come next, and will include changes to platform screen doors, tracks and controls, among others. To facilitate these station modification and systems integration works, train service adjustments will be required along select stretches of the East-West Line near these stations, LTA said, adding that more details on these service adjustments will be shared when ready.

Tauranga City Council is pleased to be opening the off-ramp from the Tauranga Eastern Link (TEL) to Pāpāmoa East at the end of August, months ahead of schedule. The Council has worked with the project contractor, Minister for Transport Chris Bishop, the New Zealand Transport Agency and local MP Tom Rutherford to make this a reality. The Pāpāmoa East Interchange is key to improving network connectivity for existing residents and will also enable ongoing residential and commercial development. "The opening of the Pāpāmoa East Interchange off-ramp by the end of August, which is nine months ahead of plan, is a great outcome for our people and will help ease traffic issues," says Mayor Mahé Drysdale. Meanwhile, Councillor Steve Morris adds that the rest of the interchange will be open and ready to use in early-2026, which will have 'a significant impact on improving traffic flows and ease of accessing the TEL from Pāpāmoa East". 'Mayor Drysdale worked with Minister Bishop to facilitate the early opening and I approached Tom Rutherford to ask for his help,' Steve says, 'and between us all, we've managed to get a great result for the community." "By working together, we have achieved a good, pragmatic outcome for our community, and I thank everyone for saying yes and getting this done," says Mahé.

TEL to Report Q3 Earnings: Here's Why the Stock is a Buy Right Now
TE Connectivity TEL is scheduled to report its third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings results on July expects fiscal third-quarter adjusted earnings to be around $2.06 per share, suggesting 8% year-over-year growth. This forecast includes a 4-cent impact from the Richards acquisition (roughly neutral to adjusted earnings) and tariff impact, as well as tax headwinds. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $2.08 per share, up a penny over the past 30 days, and indicates 8.9% growth from the figure reported in the year-ago Connectivity expects net sales of approximately $4.30 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, indicating roughly 5% year-over-year growth organically. Contribution from Richards acquisition ($70 million) and 2% price related to tariff recovery benefits top-line growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter sales is pegged at $4.29 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 7.8%.TE Connectivity beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in three of the trailing four quarters and was in line in the remaining one, with the average surprise being 3.25%. TE Connectivity Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise TE Connectivity Ltd. price-eps-surprise | TE Connectivity Ltd. Quote Let's see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement. Key Factors to Consider for TEL's Q3 Earnings TE Connectivity's third-quarter 2025 performance is expected to have benefited from stronger order volumes. TEL reported orders exceeding $4.25 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, which increased 6% both year over year and sequentially. This momentum is expected to have continued in the fiscal third quarter. TE Connectivity is seeing strong growth in the automotive sector, particularly within the electric and hybrid vehicle markets, in Asia. With content per vehicle being 1.5 times higher for hybrids and twice as much for full EVs compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, TE Connectivity is well-positioned to capture increasing value as the industry transitions toward electrification. TEL expects 20% growth in hybrid and electric vehicle production, with roughly 80% of that production occurring in Asia in the remaining half of the fiscal automotive weakness in Europe and North America has been a headwind for TEL's Transportation Solutions (55.9% of second-quarter fiscal 2025 sales). The company expects global content growth to be at the low end of its 4 to 6-point range for the second half of the fiscal Commercial Transportation business is expected to remain sluggish in the to-be-reported quarter. Weakness in the broader industrial markets in Europe and North America is expected to hurt the Sensors Connectivity's Industrial segment (44.1% of second-quarter fiscal 2025 sales) is expected to have benefited from strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI) applications, Energy, and Aerospace, Defense and Marine. Although higher tariffs are a concern for TEL's Industrial segment, the company's localized manufacturing footprint minimizes tariff impact, which bodes well for margin expansion.
