Alright, I'm not sure whether to release this information or
not, but I'll just release it in another way, as a train enthusiast
without any official information.
Today at 7pm, at Wynyard station, there's something weird, like
green hoardings or something seen. Now you can't see the opposite
platform as the hoardings are blocking. I alighted from the train,
then at the end of the platforms, there's a mini tunnel made up of
the hoardings being installed. There's one notice at the head wall
that says something about construction nearby, but I'm not sure
what type of construction.
I didn't take any pics of the incident since my camera battery
was flat.
And I reply as though it's a forum letter:
I refer to Mr. Yellowflip999's letter on Friday (Mystery
Construction Going On in Wynyard MRT).
HLTA and HCRT have been working together to renovate
some of the older metro stations that have been around
for about 20 years. The North West Line and Harbourvale Line
stations are the first few to be renovated. The reasons for
renovation are as follows:
We understand that while the renovations are going on, some
stations have to be closed down fully as it involves tearing down
the whole station skeleton and rebuilding the station at the same
place. The process normally takes 2-3 months (in BVE scale, it can
be 1 week to 1 month). However, not all stations are required to be
closed down fully, like in this case, Wynyard, as only the
concourse and the platform roof will be torn down. The platforms
will remain as it is, and it should take only 1-2 months (in BVE
scale, also 1 week to 1 month).
Wynyard MRT Station's new roof and station designs are to be
planned by a famous local architect. Details will be released
soon. We thank Yellowflip999 for pointing the renovations out.
