SINGAPORE — Train services will not run between Tanah Merah and Tampines stations from Dec 7 to 10, to facilitate the connection of tracks from the existing East-West Line (EWL) to the new East Coast Integrated Depot. Affected passengers can take a shuttle bus service, Shuttle 7, for travel between Tampines, Simei and Tanah Merah stations, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and rail operator SMRT on Nov 5. The shuttle service will run at a frequency of three to five minutes, with 55 double-decker buses to be deployed for all four days. Fares for the shuttle will be the same as that for an MRT journey along the same stretch. Alternatively, passengers can switch from the EWL to the Downtown Line (DTL) at Tampines and Expo stations before continuing their journeys. The closure between Tanah Merah and Tampines will affect adjacent sections of the EWL. Shuttle trains will run every five minutes between Tampines and Pasir Ris stations, every eight minutes between Tanah Merah and Expo stations, and every 11 minutes between Expo and Changi Airport.
