Expect the new trains from 2014-2016.
According to a release, LTA and SMRT have already taken action to increase the capacity of the North-South East-West Lines (NSEWL) in the longer term. 35 new trains have been ordered, and they are scheduled to be injected into the system from 2014 to 2016. These trains can be injected to improve peak hour train frequency, and clear crowded platforms faster. In the coming years, commuters can expect newer trains, better frequencies, and a shorter wait for trains.
