The Singapore Rail Test Centre (SRTC) is a railway testing facility in Tuas, Singapore. Constructed on the former site of the Raffles Country Club and opposite Tuas Depot, the 50 ha (120-acre) SRTC will be used to test new rolling stock and rail systems for the Singapore MRT network. It incorporates several green building features in its design and operation.
The entrance/exit of Singapore Rail Test Centre is accessible from both Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim as well as 2 Wrexham Road (Wrexham Road's short intersection is public access, it has a locked gate and the suspension bridge to the SAFTI Live Firing Area).
The SRTC was first announced as the Integrated Train Testing Centre on 24 April 2019, and construction began with a groundbreaking ceremony on 17 March 2021. The testing facility was expected to be completed in phases from 2022 to 2024; because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the opening of the first phase was delayed to November 2023. When fully operational in 2025, the SRTC will be the first such facility in Southeast Asia, featuring sophisticated workshops, an operations control centre, an administration building and three types of tracks for safety tests.
