Tuas Depot is an MRT depot serving the East–West line, located between Tuas West Road and Tuas West Drive in Singapore. It was constructed by Jurong Primewide Pte Ltd at a contract sum of S$237.1 million.[1] Construction of the depot together with the four stations of the Tuas West Extension started in late 2011 and were fully operational on 18 June 2017. The depot is located after Tuas Link MRT station and it is able to house up to 60 trains.[2] This is the second largest depot as the maintenance for the East West line trains will be carried out here. With the opening of this depot, the maintenance load in Bishan Depot has been lightened as both of the lines would have their own maintenance centre.
The depot is located off Tuas Link station on the East–West line and has two reception tracks: two tracks eastbound towards Tuas Link station.
