During the early closures in January, shuttle bus service 9 will be available for commuters travelling between Ang Mo Kio and Newton stations.

The timing of the last trains from each station during the planned early closures will vary. Commuters can obtain the departure times at the affected stations or on SMRT Trains' online platforms.

The early closures will give SMRT more time to carry out engineering work, said the transport operator.

This includes the installation of 22kV power cables, as part of power supply system renewal works.

Where feasible, railway noise barriers will also be installed in February and March, said SMRT.
