I don't see a demand for lunchtime express just yet.

I know but I worried about "don't have any LTE and special train" in future.. :(

Wow, I was not aware. This means that some train only ply from Marymount to Paya Lebar (Probably Middle Platform)? Weird. I hope the main use of this middle platform is not for such use but for Marina Bay Extension. And why is not the CBD areas need more trains?

PS: It seemed that SMRT is contradicating, given that EWL (CGL is part of EWL) and NSL only shows the maximum of 6 mins, while CCL seemed to be 7, currently.

Since the CCL is fully automatic, timings can be more accurate, unlike the NSL and EWL.

I only know, from what I see from Paya Lebar, is that the Circle got a similar structure as NSL, such that there is a To Marymount, Dhoby Ghaut, and Tai Seng as well.

If what E5 says is true, that means the Circle line will have limited train service like the NSL, e.g. more trains between Marina Bay-Yishun and Jurong East-Yew Tee during peak periods.

of all lines, NSL & EWL has the worst off peak hr frequency of 7 - 8 mins. In any case when CCL4 & 5 is up and running, the peak hr freq would have to be adjusted again.

I believe they're banging on the Paya Lebar heavy corridor for the peak hour traffic.

I like the Paya Lebar Station because of the middle platform.

azharjj SG

Not sure if you guys know about this but will be posting it anyway. It has been announce that the frequency will be something like this when the stage 1 and 2 opens;

Between Marymount & Paya Lebar
Peak Hour: Up to 3.5mins per train
Non-Peak Hour: Up to 7mins per train

Between Paya Lebar & Dhoby Ghaut
Peak Hour: Up to 7mins per train
Non-Peak Hour: Up to 7mins per train

Which means some train bound for city will terminate at Paya Leyba during peak hour. Below shows an example on how it will be implemented.

At Bishan Station (8am)
Dhoby Ghaut 3mins
Paya Lebar 7mins
Dhoby Ghaut 10mins
Paya Lebar 13mins

At Dakota Station (8am)
Dhoby Ghaut   7mins
Dhoby Ghaut   14mins
Dhoby Ghaut   21mins
Dhoby Ghaut   28mins

At Bishan Station (1pm)
Dhoby Ghaut   7mins
Dhoby Ghaut   14mins
Dhoby Ghaut   21mins
Dhoby Ghaut   28mins

At Dakota Station (1pm)
Dhoby Ghaut   7mins
Dhoby Ghaut   14mins
Dhoby Ghaut   21mins
Dhoby Ghaut   28mins

marrymount-paya lebar service ?

interesting... as i have expected. firstly, i thought is dhoby ghaut-Paya lebar

then when i think back, the demand when people transfer CCL-EWL is higher than going to CBD (CCL)-EWL

yes a wall leads to somewhere is it?

The wall is for the future DTL platform (similar to CTH)

Khairiano SG

Actually it's for CCL Extension to Bayfront and Marina Bay. DTL may be a seperate station.

the open house staff

watch this video and you will know =)

I believe that the 2 hoardings at the side of promenade station is for the CCLe instead of the DTL1. And the DTL1 would have a seperate platform via transfer level at the concourse.

Tranzort08 SG

if you look closely when departing promenade towards dbg, there is a track that leads to the other way which i believe is for the CCLe.

when approaching promenade station towards tai seng, u can also see a track which leads to the platform.

at the very end of the station where the emergency door is located, u can see the dark tunnel outside the window.

Went for open house today but had very little time to explore. Thanks for the vid! I didnt notice the branch to the left side as I was intrigued by what went on on the right...

Same direction as the vid I was travelling from ESP to Promenade. I noticed when the train was going very slowly, there was a track that branched RIGHT into a dead end and after awhile, another dead end would branch back to the line... Did anyone notice? I have a feeling this one is for DTL (possible crossover) and the closed platform is CCLe.

From the vid I can't see where it branches out but at 2:25 can see one track branch back in.

Opinions?
