In the tender called for construction of DTL1, there exists an overrun track for turning back, as well as maintenance facilities, running to beyond NSL Marina Bay Station.

As we know, Circle Line will also have its own platforms at Bayfront, besides the one at Promenade. This means CCL might be a user of this overrun.

"Extending the Circle Line to Marina Bay

11. To enhance the accessibility of the Marina Bay area to the rest of the island, the CCL will be extended to Bayfront Station from Promenade Station. This will be completed in 2012."

i suppose its for the trains to turn back to serangoon? stage 3 will open first right? correct me if im wrong please. they should have this kind of layout at tai seng and/or bartley too, since they are closest to the depot and it'll be easier for trains to return.

*edit*
oh, just to add on, the promenade station layout seems starkingly similar to BMRT stations. limited space? or same planner? since SMRT does have a share in BMRT...

According to 2 newspaper articles in Straits Times and Lianhe Zaobao some time back last July, construction at stage 3 is the fastest, and of all interchange stations, construction at Bishan is going the most smoothly. Some days back, there was a sign along Marymount Lane saying "Marymount Road will be reinstated from 2/2/07 onwards". Now, the two station entrances are half done and the station concourse dug in the middle of the road is being covered up. If I can get pics, I will try to upload.

I remembered it was mentioned that one more station (Marina View) will be added and extended from Marina Bay on NSL line but now no news? Or is it being replaced by Landmark station from Downtown Line?

Think BMRT is the "MRT" in Bangkok.

the marymount station steps/ escalators from street to concourse level already completed.. left the painting etc.. the roads are more or less re-alighned back..

Supposedly, in the near future, the LTA might extend CCL with an additional station (CC30: Shenton Way), and thus linking it to (NS27/CC31 : Marina Bay). If they do that, Marina Bay will be a station for 2 terminals. So I guess they might want to add (NS28: Marina View) so that Marina Bay will be the future terminus for CCL.

Is it just me or did Stage3 take so much less time to complete compared to Stage2? cos i’m very surprised to see the exits at Serangoon stn and Lorong Chuan stn to be already built… (adding on to the pleasant news abt Marymount) Didnt Stage2 stations take really long? All i rmb along the stage2 stretch was a mess for years!
