Exciting news is on the horizon for commuters and food enthusiasts alike, as the LTA gears up for the launch of Stage 4 of the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) at the end of June this year.
This eagerly awaited expansion promises not only enhanced connectivity but also delightful culinary experiences with the unveiling of three new hawker centres. Let’s get into the details of these upcoming developments.
7 New MRT Stations along the TEL
Get ready to explore seven new MRT stations along Singapore’s TEL, set to kick off passenger service on June 23.
These stations – Tanjong Rhu, Katong Park, Tanjong Katong, Marine Parade, Marine Terrace, Siglap, and Bayshore – will seamlessly connect with the existing stages of the TEL, spanning from Woodlands North to Gardens by the Bay.
With this expansion, approximately 235,000 households will find themselves within a 10-minute stroll from a TEL station, ensuring convenience and accessibility for all.
The addition of these seven stations brings about significant travel time savings of up to 50 percent on TEL routes. For instance, residents of Marine Parade can now reach Shenton Way in just 20 minutes via the TEL, compared to the previous 40-minute journey involving bus and train transfers.

Furthermore, three new Circle Line stations – Keppel, Cantonment, and Prince Edward – are poised to “close the loop” between existing HarbourFront and Marina Bay stations, further enhancing connectivity across the island.
