North East Line

North-East Line

Opened in June 2003, Singapore’s North East Line was the world’s first fully automated driverless heavy metro system. The line is 20km long and has 16 underground stations fitted with a total of 768 Platform Screen Doors.

Alstom, the prime contractor, supplied a fleet of 6 car 4-door Metropolis EMUs and the signalling system featuring ATP, ATO and Train Data Management System.

The sophisticated Westinghouse Platform Screen Doors control system includes the ‘PSD2000’ operating software, dual redundancy and SMT system maintenance tool.

Meticulous architectural styling of the 768 bi-parting doorways and screenwork ensured that the Westinghouse Platform Screen Doors system blends perfectly with each of the individually designed platforms commissioned by the LTA and executed by local artists for each station.
