In 2023, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore decommissioned about twelve 1st- to 3rd-generation fleets of North-South and East-West Lines trains to make way for newer train models.
About 2,600 tonnes of train parts were disposed of - but LTA has been finding ways to reuse these parts to cut waste and keep the trains’ history alive.
