Interesting... Nice to see all pics.

Thanks 9V-SKA for sharing pics with us.

Yes, SMRT will have only 40 trains for CCL although Kim Chuan depot can hold up to maximum 78 trains.

If I am not wrong, when DTL1 is opened in 2013, some trains from Kim Chuan depot will be "borrowed" to run the service line for DTL1 until DTL2 and DTL Woodlands Road Depot is completed in 2015.

it's a very long stretch running perpendicular between hougang ave 3 & upp paya lebar road.

i think they're the same. but CCL is 3 carriages.

Kim Chuan Depot ish just after Tai Seng Station ( if you are travelling towards hougang directions in SBST bus 80 ) on your right handside.
