About the Thomson-East Coast Line

The Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) will be the sixth

rail line and the fourth fully automatic and driverless

system line in Singapore. The line was announced

on 15 August 2014 by the Land Transport Authority

as the merger of the Thomson Line (TSL) and the

Eastern Region Line (ERL).

The 13km East Coast stretch of the TEL will connect

commuters living in the eastern parts of Singapore

and who are not directly served by the rail network

currently, such as those in Tanjong Rhu, Siglap,

Marine Parade, Upper East Coast and Bedok South,

to the heart of the city.

As part of the 43km long TEL, the East Coast

stretch will also connect commuters to the North-

South corridor. Fully underground, this new stretch

will have nine stations, including one interchange

station with the Downtown Line (DTL). In all, TEL will

have 31 stations, of which seven are interchanges.

THE BACKGROUND

Time Savings and Greater Accessibility

TEL will create new links in the east and bring about

time savings for commuters who travel to the Central

Business District today by bus, or to the northern

part of Singapore. For instance, a resident from

East Coast travelling to Orchard will almost halve

his journey time from 75 minutes to 45 minutes. A

Republic Polytechnic student staying at Marine

Parade can reach home in an hour, 20 minutes

faster than the bus ride currently.

In addition, the TEL stations are designed with

more entrances and exits. As part of LTA’s efforts

to improve first and last mile connectivity, some of

these entrances on the East Coast stretch will also

be connected to longer underpasses of up to 400

metres. These underpasses shelter commuters

against the weather, reduce the time taken to

walk to and from the station, and improve safety,

particularly for the elderly and children, by removing

the need to cross roads.
