NE2 Opening in the next 20 years

If you got a chance to visit the circle line extension MRB station, check out the overrun side of the underplatform end.

Lol.. Go Marina Bay then go where see?

They screw up Promenade already the 2 tracks on the other side -BEEP-

DTL is seperate, this one ? -BEEP-

Paya Lebar also screw up. Build 3rd track liao then suddenly soil conditions too weak, sink. Cannot extend to ERL. -BEEP-

Nicoll Highway also. Soil too weak -BEEP-

If you board the train from Harbourfront to Outram Park (or vice versa) You would notice 1 part where there is a uber long straight tracks. That woud be our NE2

Right now we cant say anything if there will be NE2 in the future or not??? Dun mind if we can somehow close this topic for discussion and forward to the question thread??

No. We can be sure there will be a NE2, much like the DT4 case. However I agree that the discussion seemed a bit too early.

Look at this video FIRST

It require 10 seconds for a train going at 80km/h to completely pass through.

But now lets look at this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-SeKcxo4iU

See how straight is the track from 1:16 to 1:31

If the train goes at 80km/h, it would pass aprox 2 tunnel lights every second.

If the train goes at 75km/h it would pass aprox 1.75 tunnel lights/second

From Potong Pasir to Serangoon, it travels at 80km/h

From Outram Park to Harbourfront, it travels at aprox 75km/h

Then the distance between NE3 and NE2 would be almost as short as the distance between Chinatown and Clarke Quay

It takes 37 seconds from accelerating to the 1st station door of Clarke Quay

What about NE2?

0:40 ~ 1:19

It takes aprox 39 seconds from accelerating to the 1st station door of "NE2"

Almost the same as NE2. That path is justified to have provisions of having a VERY VERY straight tracks which is not going upwards of any.

Why build such a long straight track from 1:17~1:31? 14 seconds of straight track. Even passing by Woodleigh only requires 10 seconds.
