Jurong Region MRT line

The Jurong Region line mainly serves Jurong and the surrounding area and has three branches centered around Bahar Junction station.

Trains travelling from Choa Chu Kang will terminate at Jurong Pier. Trains travelling from Jurong Pier will terminate at Peng Kang Hill. Lastly, trains travelling from Peng Kang Hill will head towards Choa Chu Kang, with Bahar Junction acting as an interchange point for the 3 converging services. Transfer to the east branch can only be done at Tengah.[3]

Feasibility studies for an extension to connect the east branch to the Circle line at Haw Par Villa are currently ongoing.[4] However, this sector was not mentioned in the Land Transport Master Plan 2040 despite it being first announced in August 2015.

The Jurong Region line would have 24 kilometres (15 mi) of tracks[13] with 24 stations.[14] There are four branches: to Choa Chu Kang in the north, Jurong Pier in the south, Pandan Reservoir in the east and Peng Kang Hill in the west.[15]

Notes: Names stated are working names, except for current operational stations.

There will be a depot at Tengah and a stabling facility near Peng Kang Hill to support the operations of the Jurong Region line.[16] Rolling stock will be kept at both locations, which will have stabling facilities for trains. The Tengah Depot, which will also house the Operations Control Centre, will have a bus depot and a workers’ dormitory integrated with it to optimise land use.[17] The Peng Kang Hill stabling facility is located near Peng Kang Hill station, whereas Tengah Depot is located along the western perimeter of Tengah.[18]

The Jurong Region Line will be operated by three-car CJ151 trains that can be expanded to four-cars when ridership increases.[19] Each carriage is 18.6m by 2.75m, which is smaller than those used on other MRT lines because of the elevated nature of the line and the need for trains to maneuver through sharp bends in densely populated areas.[20]

On 6 February 2020, Hyundai Rotem of South Korea was awarded the contract to build 62 of these train sets for the Jurong Region Line.[21]
