11 defective trains repaired and returned to Singapore

They are part of the 26 trains shipped back to China for repairs.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said 11 of 13 defective trains that have been shipped back to China are now repaired and returned to Singapore. Ten are put into passenger service, whilst the 11th train is still undergoing testing.

Together with SMRT, LTA has been closely monitoring the condition of these trains, and there have been no defects detected since, it said in a statement.

LTA has been working with SMRT and Kawasaki-Sifang to rectify the defects found on 26 North-South and East-West Line trains. To date, 13 of the affected trains have been shipped back to the factory in China for repairs.

“We are working closely with Kawasaki-Sifang to complete rectification works of the remaining trains by December 2019,” LTA added.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
