This video features a KHI C151, 081/082, which is from CHD to serve EWL for the whole day, from CG1 Expo to EW4 Tanah Merah.
Note that at around 1:06 and 2:34, you would see 2 engineering train at 2 different sections within new TNMP (Tanah Merah Modification Project) tracks that will serve the EWL (new platform), CGL and the new East Coast Integrated Depot (ECID) in 2025. Probably installing something that requires the locomotive or something else? But cool to see the locomotives during the daytime!
Also all the trains between Simei and Tanah Merah (Westbound) need to enter Tanah Merah in ATPM (Auto Train Protection Mode) as seen by one train near Tanah Merah being paused outside waiting to enter.
Strong Motor can be heard on car 1081 A4/B4. Since 081F was leading, the strong motor was louder when it was decelerating.

Anyway, full-day closures are being delayed but still with the same number of phases as I mentioned earlier. Have to wait till the demolition of viaduct wall begins.

I like to ask, why are they built a additional, building, at the far end of the station? Like not the new platform, like near the track assess area, is like at the front and the back of the train area.
