The exclusive facility can help carry out round-the-clock train testing works away from the mainline, without impeding other maintenance activities during limited engineering hours. In addition, it will also curb the practice of Early Closure and Late Opening (ECLO), helping minimise inconvenience to commuters.

The ITTC will include a one-stop workshop for mid-life testing and upgrading of trains before deploying them on the mainline. Apart from this, it will also house three different tracks in the form of a looped track with an uphill gradient, a looped ‘S-shaped’ track, and a straight high-speed track for specific safety-critical tests.

Sheltered linkways connecting to various buildings and bicyle parking facilities will be built within the compound for seamless connectivity.
