Punggol Coast station on the North East Line (NEL) will open for passenger service at 3.00pm on Tuesday, 10 December 2024. The new station, an extension from the existing Punggol station, will be the new terminal station on the NEL. With this addition, the 22-kilometre NEL will now have 17 stations in total.
2. Located in the heart of Punggol Digital District (PDD), Punggol Coast station will provide greater rail connectivity to the JTC Business Park and the Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) campus which will collectively house over 28,000 employees and 12,000 students, as well as the upcoming Punggol Coast Mall. With the new station, over 200,000 households will be within a 10-minute walk from a NEL station, with shorter travel time from Punggol North to the city centre and other parts of Singapore. For instance, commuters travelling from Punggol North to Outram Park will take about 45 minutes on the NEL as compared to about 60 minutes currently.
3. Construction works for Punggol Coast station started in 2018 and the station was handed over to SBS Transit in August this year. The operator has since been carrying out operational testing in preparation for the commencement of passenger service.
4. Punggol Coast station will have two entrances: one along New Punggol Road and the other within PDD. For added convenience and to support sustainable mobility, the new station will have more than 300 bicycle parking lots. The station is also within walking distance of the nearby bus interchange.
5. Designed by the Land Transport Authority in-house, construction of the Punggol Coast station was jointly managed by LTA and JTC. The station is also targeting to achieve the BCA’s Green Mark Certification for its energy-efficient design and operations, which includes green features such as LED lighting and a hybrid cooling system.
