Preparations for Circle Line Stage 6
-
great to hear that...
serangoon's exits are also confirmed and visible... there's only 2...
they're applying base coat of white paint for now... -
I supposed that Stage 3 will be completed by end of this year as I knew Stage 3 is the fastest being constructed than the rest stages. Correct me if I am wrong abt this.
-
For Bishan station, the new ticketing office is ready (but not in use yet) and the new southbound platform is taking shape. The last time I went to the interchange side (abt 1-2 weeks ago) to look at the other station entrance, it had not taken shape yet.
-
cool... any news abt Bartley's progress?
-
Upper Paya Lebar's exits are almost done. info board up too. Bartley station exit under construction. Only 1 wall is up.
-
UPL is part of stage2...
-
Yes, UPL is now Tai Seng in Stage 2.
-
anyone got notice the changed made at Serangoon station?
there was some works being done at one of the exits... cant remember which letter but the outside is yello colour. since last year it was closed for circle line works and reopened a few weeks ago...
but the thing is it looks exactly the same as before... anyone knows what works are they? underpass linkway to the new station? -
rmb there was a news article around this time last year which said Kim Chuan Depot would get TOP around 3rd quarter this year... anyone got news abt Kim Chuan?
-
Is Kim Chuan Depot close to HGDEP? Well, the depot foundation is completed.

I am not sure if the stated opening date of CCL Stage 2 and 3 from Wikipedia is confirmed or not.
Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Singapore_MRT_stations#ref_Openg
It said CCL Stage 3 will open in October 2008, then followed by Stage 2 in December 2008.
LTA's CCL page is pretty out-of-dated... -
Wikipedia can be edited by anybody, which means the article should not be taken as a reliable source. The information may be an intelligent guess on the person's part, or the person may be working for LTA/SMRT/whatever. But I personally don't think this info is accurate, as SMRT mentioned perviously in a news article that stages 2 & 3 are 'not likely to open so soon due to limited commuters'.From what I remember, the article also said stages 2&3 would most probably open with stage 1.Originally posted by Novawin™:I am not sure if the stated opening date of CCL Stage 2 and 3 from Wikipedia is confirmed or not.

It is true that Stage 2 and 3 only be opened together with Stage 1 at the same time since the tunnel at Nicoll Highway is missing.Originally posted by 201911:Wikipedia can be edited by anybody, which means the article should not be taken as a reliable source.

From what I know, whenever anyone is editing the article, it has to go through verification or quality control from Wikipedia team before the updated content will be approved and displayed. But it seemed sounding too good to be true or accurate since it has been displayed already.
Well, just wait and see how. I hope LTA will update their out-of-dated CCL page as well as adding new DTL page.

The structure of the 2 station entrances in Marymount are really taking shape now. The roof is halfway done and the walls of the entrances are being built. And in the middle of marymount road, what looks like a future ventilation shaft is also being built.
-
Thanks for sharing this. I have not been to Marymount for some times. I maybe go there to take a look at the station entrance soon. I am sure big change in Marymount will give me a big surprise since my last visit there saw the road being aligned due to CCL construction.Originally posted by 201911:The structure of the 2 station entrances in Marymount are really taking shape now.

Have been to Bras Basah Road quite many times and saw CCL station entrance. They are about 90% completed. -
only left the escalators, stn signs and info boards on the ousideOriginally posted by Novawin™:Thanks for sharing this. I have not been to Marymount for some times.

Apparently, DTE Stage 1 will only be completed in 2013. so speculations on the delay of DTE are not completely wrong. -
I can't be 100% sure abt this but I can guess it correctly. =)
I think Promenade and Bayfront MRT station will be like Raffles Place/City Hall Interchange station having cross-transfer platform. Like you transfer at City Hall or Raffles Place to change between NSL or EWL train so this will go to the same thing for transferring between CCL and DTL train.
This will save alot of time and effort by not having to walk down all the way or taking travellator when changing train.
However, for Marina Bay station interchanging with CCL, there will not have cross-transger platform so it will be like Outram Park interchange station walking down to get to CCL train from NSL train. -
What makes u say about the layout btw Promenade and Bayfront?Originally posted by Novawin™:I can't be 100% sure abt this but I can guess it correctly. =)

I think it would be like outram park leh.. cos the plans for bayfront rolled out after the construction of Promenade station right?
Is the Harbourfront CCL interchange gonna be directly under the NEL one? -

From this map, it has been planned already even before the construction for Promenda station started.
And you know Bayfront MRT station construction is about to begin soon. Back in April 2007, LTA announced that they are extending CCL to Bayfront and then Marina Bay station so it also has been planned too.
I can confirm Bayfront and Promenade will be like Raffles Place/City Hall style. =) -
cool stuff man... so the red part signifies the extension of CCL tunnels which has nothing to do with DTL tunnels right?
-
I think CCL and DTL tunnels are linked together as DTL does not have its depot yet.Originally posted by SMRT 32373238:cool stuff man... so the red part signifies the extension of CCL tunnels which has nothing to do with DTL tunnels right?
You know DTL Stage 1 will be ready by 2013 so I can tell you that the train being deployed for DTL will be running from CCL Kim Chuan Depot since there is no depot for DTL train along DTL Stage 1. The train will be deployed from CCL depot to run DTL Stage 1 when it is due in 2013 so there will be linkage between CCL and DTL tunnels for train to cross to serve DTL Stage 1.
Currently, 40 trains were ordered to run CCL but Kim Chuan Depot can house up to max 78 trains. So I guess the remaining 38 trains will be deployed to run DTL Stage 1 and Stage 2 until another depot will probably be built on DTL Stage 3.
I can say that SMRT will be the operator for DTL for sure.
And just want to add on for your knowledge.
If I am not wrong, the southern end of Bukit Timah Line (BTL) was originally to terminate at Nicoll Highway station which will be interchanging with CCL and ERL will be separate line from BTL.
But because of Nicoll Highway collapse, LTA has to decide to shift the termination point for BTL to Promenade station and later joined with ERL and Downtown Extension of CCL, thus integrating 3 of them into Downtown Line (DTL). Provision has already been made to Promenade station for interchanging ERL (now known as DTL Stage 3) and BTL (now known as DTL Stage 2) together with CCL. -
wow where u get this stuff from? so if u infer that DTL confirm under SMRT, does it mean the exact same train models and designs will run the DTL as with CCL?Originally posted by Novawin™:I think CCL and DTL tunnels are linked together as DTL does not have its depot yet.

un inferred all of this or u know some of them? how'd u know that the DTL depot is on stage 3 not 2?
so from all of this gathered u're trying to say that the future of CCL and DTL combined will be very similar to NSL and EWL right? different lines but same(?) trains...
koool...
