It was extended westwards to Clementi station on 12 March 1988. The first segment of what would become the East–West Line, between City Hall to Outram Park stations, was opened on 12 December 1987 as part of the North–South Line.
The East–West Line signalling systems have been upgraded along with the North–South Line, with both MRT lines having its signalling upgraded completely, converting it from semi-automatic to fully automated operations. Nevertheless, both lines uses identical signalling equipment and rolling stock. The line is coloured green on the rail map.Ĭonstructed and opened as part of the North–South Line (NSL) in the early stages of development, the East–West Line was the second rail line formed in Singapore after NSL, with the opening of the eastern extension to Tanah Merah on the EWL in 1989. The 57.2 kilometres (35.5 mi) line is the longest on the MRT network, with 35 stations, 8 of which (from Lavender to Tiong Bahru and Changi Airport stations) are underground.
