Shuttle 22 is a Rail Replacement Service plying between HarbourFront – Dhoby Ghaut, serving en-route North East Line (NEL) stations.
The route will be activated to operate on selected Fridays and Saturdays in April & May 2021, when shortened operating hours are implemented on the North East Line to accelerate the replacement of insulators of the overhead catenary system. The failure of an older design of insulators was blamed for two previous power faults that caused disruptions lasting several hours.
The Early Closure on 7 & 8 May 2021 has been cancelled as the replacement of insulators for the Overhead Power System was completed ahead of schedule.
The Shuttle Bus Service serves the following MRT Stations:
- NE1CC29 HarbourFront
- NE3EW16 Outram Park
- NE4DT19 Chinatown
- NE5 Clarke Quay
- NE6NS24CC1 Dhoby Ghaut
