2) REBUILD THE WHOLE BPLRT AND REPLACE THE FLEET WITH INNOVIAS!! -BEEP-
3) Thats where the fare hike in the DBF comes in
4) Punggol LRT Station isn't a failure, only screwed. The middle platform can be said as a "Bay" platform and no trains were suppose to cross the bridge to Sengkang. If not What is the NEL for?
The middle track is block by a vent or sth else ( I went there once only =.=" I never went to woodlands, choa chu kang, all the town in the north side? Never see before.
The depot is in Sengkang, trains HAVE to cross over that bridge above TPE in order to serve the PGLRT.

Lol i know that, its west of the Punggol Rd Bridge.
The middle platform at Punggol LRT Station is a "Bay" platform with overrun tracks. The overrun portion is not to be extended to the current tracks, but add a buffer there, thats why you see a space.
Originally posted by Samuel Lee:Lol on the point 4. I mean, it is almost confirmed dead end as similar to present Paya Lebar CCL, which looks failed to me. However, the track has reached the full length in PYL but not in this case, hence a failed case. Unless they from start want to build a CGA Skytrain style, then I could say nothing.
If not what?
Trains from Punggol North enters normal track. It goes round and round and round as there was no link from Punggol Point to Punggol NOrth.
So it was necessary that the third track is there for trains to safely reverse back without disrupting train services.

Actually to me, it looks stupid. Why, because for trains that goes fresh from SKG to PGL (They should allow direct service), it cannot go to the middle track, but the PWL Ascending platform (Next station PW1). And then like that how the train go depot? Oh, they just dont crossover to middle track. Fail lor.

Who evers want to take a train from the MRT station back home at 6am?
Trains will go to Coney Island Station then crossover back to all the way back to the middle platform.
In this way, it will not disrupt other train services behind.

@your first point: Some people who are like, working in the night, like those railway track inspectors and some other people.
Do u know that Espla-nade and Prome-nade have a different prounciation even though they have a -nade at the back...
Actually I wonder why the LTA did not consider to build the Punggol North LRT that after PN4, it connects to PE4, so the East Loop with have 2 versions of it which looked like a B shape. (Somewhat)

The "nade" has two different pronounciations in the first place, I remembered a video about some people asking how do they pronounce "Esplanade".
Did you know that Bishan depot, Ulu Pandan Depot and Changi Depot can hold up to 128 trains altogether?
Do you know that there is a curve to the left beyond Marina Bay and u cant see the buffer?

Far back in 2002, 111/112 had a DHL ad?
111/112 is consistently using ROAs in the first place

Please enlighten us by listing the breakdown of the max number trains each depot can hold. Thanks.

Bishan Depot - 53 trains
Ulu Pandan Depot - 35 trains
Changi Depot - 40 trains
53+35+40=128 trains =P

With 22 additional trains next year, the 3 depots reach the max. capacity for trains altogether..Also,another new depot is on the way :)

Dragonaxe did PM me on he found out by sawing the parking lot number OUTSIDE the depot (BSD -- I dont want to see / hear any ****** ****ers say nasty things again), and previously we have thought that the depot has already maxed out was most likely calculating on the number of visible tracks in Google Earth (Which some of them are hidden within the shacks in BSD)

Each track can hold more than one train. Eg Track 39, the outsidemost track. It's seen holding 2 trains.
A particular track 41 in BSD, can hold up for 2 trains during parking time
I think one segment in UPD, one track can hold up 2 trains parking at the same time.

The most outer track facing CTE? I'm not very sure about that, but is is always unoccupied (When I pass by BSD along CTE). It stretches all the way to the back of the depot. Maybe you can use that track too?
During non-peak hours, there would be trains occuping Lot number 46-53 at the back of the depot.
Did you know that there is a power generator near Eunos MRT station runned by SMRT?
Its for PG Intake, to supply power to the third rail

No the outermost track facing the PCN.

Never been to the other side of BSD before.
Bayfront and Marina Bay (CCL Branch) are now called
CE1 and CE2 respectively
Circle Line Extension 1 and Circle Line Extension 2
in BSD, track 45 to 52 are the parking area beside CTE, you will need to take bus 857 from Boon Keng MRT to see it from there, otherwise by private car or taxi to see it.. Usually there will be one or 2 trains not operating during peak hours just to occupy there..
A mass parking track beside Bishan St 13 HDB flats and the KCP sch, are meant for 2 trains to be placed at one track alone.. It soan from whatever digit until track 41
