East Coast Integrated Depot (Chinese:东海岸车厂) is a future integrated multi-level facility for the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and buses, located in Changi near Upper Changi Road East, Singapore.
The depot, with an expected completion date of 2024, will be located beside the current site of Changi Depot, which will be demolished. It will be the first in the world to integrate three train depots and a bus depot within a 36 hectare site. With this design, it is estimated that there will be a saving of 44 hectares of land, equivalent to approximately 60 football fields, considering that Singapore is a land-scarce country. The depot will be able to house approximately 200 trains of varying sizes and lengths and 550 buses within the site.
The East Coast Integrated Depot comprises of a multi-level train depot and a multi-level bus depot.
The train depot will have three levels containing three separate depots for three different MRT lines. The underground portion will house a 66-track depot for the Downtown Line, and will be brought into use following the opening of Stage 3 of the line. The at-grade portion will house a 62-track depot for the future Thomson-East Coast Line, to be used following the completion of Stage 5 of the line. Finally, the elevated portion will house a 72-track depot for the East West Line, which will replace the existing Changi Depot. All three depots will operate independently of each other, a first for Singapore, and will be designed to be able to handle trains of different lengths, of 3, 4 and 6 respectively of the lines they operate on.
The facility will be located between Expo station and Tanah Merah station on the East West Line, between Xilin station and Sungei Bedok station on the Downtown Line, and off Sungei Bedok station on the Thomson-East Coast Line.
