Today, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced the addition of a new station to the Cross Island Line (CRL), to be located at the line's eastern end. Tentatively named Changi Terminal 5, the station will allow transfers to be made to the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). The station will be built as part of the ground transportation centre (GTC) to be located at Changi Airport's Terminal 5 headhouse. We understand that the contract for the GTC, including the station, will be overseen by the Changi Airport Group. Pre-qualifications for the contract opened on 19 May and closed on 25 June.

The addition of Changi Terminal 5 station will see the CRL extended by a further 5.8 km and is expected to be completed in the mid-2030's.
