The Singapore Rail Test Centre (SRTC) is a rail testing facility in Tuas, Singapore. Located on the former site of the Raffles Country Club and near Tuas Depot, the 54-hectare (130-acre) facility is used to test new rolling stock and rail systems for the Singapore MRT network, avoiding the need to conduct tests on operational lines. The SRTC is the first rail testing facility in Southeast Asia, featuring workshops, an operations control centre, an administration building and three tracks for safety tests.
The SRTC was first announced as the Integrated Train Testing Centre in April 2019, and construction began with a groundbreaking ceremony on 17 March 2021. The site was originally secured for the cancelled Kuala Lumpur–Singapore high-speed rail (HSR). Originally expected to be completed in phases from 2022 to 2024, the opening of the first phase was delayed to November 2023, and full operations commenced in March 2025.
