Thank you so much LTA and SMRT for working 24/7 making sure we have a safe ride! Thank you LTA and SMRT for making and building Thomsan East Coast Line and making a Enjoyable journey!
Thank you to those who contributed into the new TEL. Just a feedback from customers like me- anyone notice the train ride is more noisy compared to other lines in SG?
Glad it finally opened in spite of the delays, I have completely forgotten what Upp Thomson Road looked like before construction began Some thoughts: There seems to be a lack of exit signs (and area map) at the platform level. In stations with only one exit this isn't a big deal but I noticed many of the new stations are aligned to have exits at both sides, and there were definitely commuters who were stuck after alighting trying to figure out which side to exit from. I also would not like to take the wrong escalator and backtrack afterwards. I hope this can be improved on soon because we really want to minimise the number of confused commuters standing in front of escalators and gantries figuring out where to go. Taking 0:17 as a reference, I would prefer if the lit signs showed me what was at the exit, not just the exit number. Seeing "Exit 1" after tapping out is meaningless, "Thomson Plaza" is what I really care about. The old convention in existing MRT stations don't have this problem. I also feel the smaller sign under the CCTVs should have a thicker font weight; the text is actually thinner than the bus stop code numbers. I really like the train interiors, platform train info display, and the area map being aligned to its actual position though, I think those were very well done
Few more things I'd like to add: 1. Think it's a pity that the single digit numbers assigned to bus stops near MRT stations are being removed too. E.g. @ Mayflower MRT it's faster to differentiate bus stop 1 from 3 than bus stop 54189 from 54199. 2. Then at the platforms, the route maps have shrunk the terminus numbers (13 & 14 in TEL's case) in favour of putting a big 'A' or 'B' at the header, & initially I didn't know what 'A' & 'B' were until I figured they were referring to Platforms A & B (which was spelt out explicitly in full on maps at older stations' platforms but not in TEL) 3. The lifts now have a colour floor display, that could be exploited further than it is now to improve wayfinding e.g. showing the symbol of a bicycle when reaching L2 of Mayflower MRT station's Exit 2 (whose rooftop has a bicycle park), a train symbol when reaching platform level, plus the words "Thomson East Coast Line" on a brown banner (for lifts in interchange stations). Since the lifts are quite deep, a slider bar could also be displayed (like in lifts in London's Tube) to show how deep down the lift has travelled between floors at any one point of time so far e.g. from street level to the ticket concourse, or from concourse to the platform. The lift doors also take too long to open - 5s of idling after the lift levels with the floor you're going to 4. The monochrome PIS scrolling text displays positioned transversely in the trains are underutilised, staying mostly blank except when at, approaching or just leaving stations. Think it could take over some of the text that's currently being displayed on the DRMDs instead in-between stations, that could instead display route maps for longer (plus station names in more languages) plus some ads. 5. Areas with >1 escalator going in the same direction could have some at slow (for the elderly) & others at fast speed. 6. Now that TEL has opened, older MRT lines' signs now look more cluttered by comparison, but TEL's signs go abit too far in the other extreme I feel. On a smaller note, using letters instead of numbers for exits also made the MRT more unique (as HK's MTR is the only other system I know in the world that does that)
Looking back at TEL2 pretty good architect of stations. TEL4 to marine parade area so TEL5 go Changi Airport T5 as well as replacing EWL changi branch??? If so why are they building new train viaducts at tanah merah
@@MrRoses65 i know, but based on the current completion state. it should be possible to estimate like Q1 2022, Q2 2022 or Q3 2022 etc. After all it was originally due to be ready this year.. before Covid-19 of cos
For those who do not know how its not easy in the coordination works - i sincerely suggest shut the F up and train do not break down due to signalling fault....sheeesh
Amsterdam's metro uses the same system (Urbalis 400) too I heard & has also been delayed by reliability issues, but to be fair they have more types of rolling stock & train services to handle (e.g. 3 lines sharing the same tracks south of _Centraal_ station, while also operating both regular full-sized metro trains & narrower light-rail/pre-metro vehicles that'd switch to on-street running & overhead power in the city's south)
Hey that was me on the train enthusiast documenting the final moments of TEL1 part,I am honoured to be in this video LTA Singapore! Thank you so much
Good 4 u man
Wow your even lucky to be featured :)

Thank you to all those who contributed to this amazing line
I got recommended this video again, we need a TEL3 video😂

Hey ☺️👋 have a good night 🌉😘
@@354ccklee7 Good night!
congratulation LTA Singapore! I am very proud to be part of this project.
Thank you to those who contributed into the new TEL. Just a feedback from customers like me- anyone notice the train ride is more noisy compared to other lines in SG?
Yup,tel is more noisy than other mrt lines
Yes. The ride is louder.
Yes it's even louder than north south and circle lines which used to be the most noises lines i think 🤔
Yeah, at first i thought the train was diesel cause it was so loud, but everything else was perfect!
The Mitsubishi VVVF makes it feel noisier
Thank you to all for making the Thomson East Coast Line Stage 2 a reality. Looking forward to the opening of Stage 3 soon.
I am coming in next year guys and thx for use are new line and thank you lta. ❤️🇸🇬🇵🇭
A sincere thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! It's been many years in the making and I hope that they can take a rest after this :)
Those Subway Cars are beautiful.
thank you for making thomson east cost line stage 2
What is the song name? Very nice to hear
all these new stations feel the vibes of Kajang Sungai Buloh MRT line in KL
Even the train cars and announcements also, making TEL as the 'Singapore version' to the SBK Line.
0:01 Is this TE4A Tagore?
Beautiful piece of work there, well done LTA 👍
And SMRT

I CANNOT BELIEVE I WASNT THE FIRST PASSENGER
Is that where the mandai depot is
I just noticed the TEL stage 2 a day after it opened at 5:19PM
At night : announcement : "there is no more train services, we are closing the station.... good night!
The first song in this video sounds like a Farewell song to me for some reasons.
Good job Lta 🙂. I hope u also build TEL3 Very soon. 🙂😀
LTA After springleaf it lentor but why is there a empty shell Station between TE4 and TE5
i like this video, maybe you can do countdown to tel3 stations opening
What song is this
I wanna be first passenger in TEL3
Congratulations SMRT!
And LTA
wow the fare gates are 200kg!?
Looking back at TEL2 pretty good architect of stations. TEL4 to marine parade area so TEL5 go Changi Airport T5 as well as replacing EWL changi branch??? If so why are they building new train viaducts at tanah merah
I was on the tel2 event too I was the one with the gray bag
Can you put the timestamp
Wow
What music was used for the video? Self-created or copied? By the way, why goodnight to Caldecott???
@LTA singapore What's The 2nd Song Name And Artist? I would really like to know please. Thank You.
Stages 4 And 5 were announced
For some reason Caldecott TEL to CCL transition feels like walking through changi airport arrivals idk why
As long as we have a good and ambitious future thinking govt anything is possible 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nice video nice soundtrack
29 May - Final moments to Caldecott
Next station Stevens
Change at the next station for the Downtown Line
so exciting!
LTA Singapore, you deserves a MRT TEL2 station!
what music is this
1:56 song name plz
2:15 lights on
Was trainset 2028 of the CT251 model the first Stage 2 train to Caldecott? 🚇🤎🚇🤎🇸🇬
The music is so calm
When is the opening for stage 3?
good song btw
For your information, I am a child train enthusiast. CT251 is the rolling stock of TEL, huh?
music?
Nice song
Do u like the TEL4 Stations?
Nice video
Yay

Tel tel tel ! Wow.
Good video
i hope TEL phase 3 will have a fixed date on opening and not simply.. "in 2022" ..
When it is near completion,then they will announce the quarter,the month and opening date
@@MrRoses65 i know, but based on the current completion state. it should be possible to estimate like Q1 2022, Q2 2022 or Q3 2022 etc.
After all it was originally due to be ready this year.. before Covid-19 of cos
@@lingth i think should be q3 or q4..need to test first..or else 2023
@@MrRoses65 oh no, so late.. was hoping ard Q2.. because i work near a Phase 3 station.. rats
Q2 also possible ..but interior and exterior must finish first
.somemore testing usually take 6 months
OMG!

For those who do not know how its not easy in the coordination works - i sincerely suggest shut the F up and train do not break down due to signalling fault....sheeesh
No not this again. This will cause TEL3 to be delayed even further.
@@aehighfmcolinchin TEL3 is a long stretch, similar to the DTL3.
