Scania96 SG

huh? SMRT CHY have the Sentosa Express annuoncement? So meaning Sentosa Express are operated by SMRT lor?

NO! This is the new annoucement for the sentosa express.

NickLim™ SG

She still got say:

'Next stop, waterfront station. Singapore's only family indigrated resort. Resort world sentosa will compliment the island acclerating needs of world class attraction, hotels and entertainment,

'Your attention please, this train will stop here waiting. We apologise for the inconvience caused.'

'Please move in and stand clear of the doors. Thank you'

And the sentosa bus and beach tram annoucement.

Yes I know. And yes, that is the lady I'm refering to. She's not Chan, definitely.

Actually, CCL is build in such a way like NSL, lots of track sidings for trains to do turnaround, if not why las trains timings, trains can terminate at Tai Seng, Mountbatten. I hope, when stage 4 and 5 opens, they can operate limited service between Buona Vista and Paya Lebar. Such service may be put in place as most CCL commuters will travel along this stretch.

Does anyhow know whether Buona Vista has 3 tracks like paya lebar

We'll know for sure when the other CCL stations opens next year.

disappear SG

im wondering whether there're any diagrams showing the connection at buona vista station like those at harbourfront bishan etc, if so we'd be able to tell

Samuel Lee SG

For sure........... NO!

Because, no need to wait another CCLD or someone attempted a trespass on unopened station, just the start of consturction should have such details finialized. (Even if wikipedia is incorrect, such diagrams might have just leaked out earlier, just like the DTL Stage 3 track schematic diagram was leaked and showed that the next underground station with 3 tracks is at DT27, somewhere in Bedok Resevoir and the use is to connect to KCD (Might be extend for future lines as well?).

c751bLoVuR SG

For sure........... NO!

I don't like the middle platform in underground station... So hope no MP at BNV...

ngyk SG

If Buona Vista have middle tracks. unlikely to be in the station…....most probably should be between the MRT lines, if have middle track, the track may come between Holland Village and Buona Vista or between Buona Vista or One North. But most likely should lie between One North and Buona Vista.

Actually quite true, the Paya Lebar turnaround looked messy also, middle track best is to be between stations and stations............liddat also can turnaround....best follow suit like the middle track at Outram Park along the EWL

disappear SG

For sure........... NO!

thks for the answer, dont have also good

disappear SG

if no middle track also the shared platform(available walking space) feel more spacious and also wont get down the wrong platform. unless like dover which feels like no space like that

maybe the paya lebar middle track next time for extension, now they got spare train standby to marymount during peak hour is gd

ngyk SG

Hi guys, does Saturday also have DBG bound trains turning back at Paya Lebar, i am asking this is because last Saturday i saw from the RATIS that there is a Paya Lebar train at Tai Seng station at around 12.25pm…......so anyone know the timings for CCL trains turning at Paya Lebar?

Samuel Lee SG

No need hope, it does not have.

AFAIK, the middle track at Paya Lebar leads to a dead end shortly after the station, unlike the leaked track diagram for DT27's middle platform which is more like Ang Mo Kio style (Paya Lebar is unique and no stations with 3 tracks can be used as comparison) where the middle track leds to depot and both sides can connect to middle track (Paya Lebar only 1 side can go to middle platform, that is from MacPherson DBG bound).

Thus, I doubt it can extend further, because the converging curves comes soon after (So that Dakota is not as wide as Paya Lebar) the station in DBG bound.

Unless, which is what I hoped, the middle track can go deeper down (Like JUR's NB middle track) and link to Tanjong Katong Road / Mountbatten Road junction (That leds to future ERL). I bet the future Eastern Region Line will via Marine Parade and via Fort Road / Tanjong Rhu using this road or else the half of the entire stretch would been in East Coast Park, which defeats the purpose of a MRT line there. (No source, just my prediction)

(Yes, you can predict Eastern Region Line has a new depot, but where can it be? Marina Bay / Marina South / Marina areas? O -- they might as well build one now instead of a mini depot like maintenance facility in Marina Bay station for CCLe / DTL. Siglap / Bedok South / Upper East Coast? O -- while the lack of housing development and a big spacious space on a side of the Upper East Coast Road could be used as depot, but can it be as big as KCD / GBD -- the DTL Stage 2 depot? I doubt so. How about Changi (Point) Depot? While the proximity to existing EWL Changi Depot makes me feel like preferring a CHD, but CCL should have used BSD if this theory were to hold true. Changi Point Depot might be another option for ERL depot, but the proximity to Changi Airport and Changi Navy Base, do you think it is a good choice? I think it is like putting all eggs in one basket. One place kena terrorist strike = gg!. Thus, to me, I feel like having a spare depot to use during crisis, which is this purpose.)

Im hoping it can link to marine parade directly if theres such a extension next time

Samuel Lee SG

No, it cant be. Given from what LTA had announced, the future ERL 21km has 12 stations in a straight line without a branch line link. This is fact. The previous post and analysis is more like personal's wish and hope with the reasoning.

I think if there is such extension, it can only be used when crisis or major issues (Major train fault) that small depot in Bedok South / Siglap or Upper East Coast (1 of the 3 would likely to have a depot, based on my prediction again, if not it would be at Changi Point, but that can have more security risk by putting all eggs in 1 basket.)

But, we have to consider the space in KCD (Can keep 77 trains, CCL took 40 of it, and the rest should be for DTL) can make this proposal difficult.
