    SINGAPORE will build an integrated train testing centre (ITTC) to put new trains and rail systems through their paces without the risk of disrupting service on operational lines.

    To be located on a 50 ha site at the former Raffles Country Club in Tuas - which has been acquired for the suspended Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail project - the centre is expected to be the first of its kind in Asia when it is ready around 2022.
