Dhoby Ghaut station looks really spacious sia! design of one-north station entrance looks quite weird. Confused

Novawin SG

one-north station look like spaceship-ish. Laughing

FYI: DTL's Landmark MRT station is supposedly to have the fare gate and train on the same platform level like Changi Airport MRT station.

But in the picture, the fare gate don't look they are on same platform level with the train but on upper level.

Maybe LTA is changing the station architectural for Landmark station?

DMC05 SG

Perhaps... But where did that info come from in the first place anyway? It could have been false info for all you know, or speculation which can be unreliable.

On the other hand it is, after all, an artist's impression which may not follow exactly.

DMC05 SG

Dhoby Ghaut should be spacious. The area between the NEL station and the CCL station isn't empty space. Its the CCL station. A temporary wall has been put up, which will be removed once the line is in operation. The linkway between the NSL and the NEL will then be a bridge and not a hall!

G - entrance
B1 - NSL fare gates and ticket concourse, transfer linkway
B2 - NSL platforms, NEL ticket concourse and fare gates
B3 - CCL transfer landing, NEL transfer landing
B4 - CCL platforms
B5 - NEL platforms

Novawin SG

Yeah, I read it somewhere in a rail forum but can't remember where the information was from. Anyway, I guess we just wait and see for more details on DTL Stage 1 to be announced by LTA at later date.

Novawin SG

Interesting... The temporary wall is just next to travellator escalator near to NSL ticket concourse right? Or is it referring to the long wall (the one used to be covered with art works when NEL opened in 2003 but now it has either plain white cover or advertisement poster covering) facing travellator escalator?

DMC05 SG

The wall opposite the travelators. The one which usually has a lot of starhub advertisements stuck on it. Also, once you come down the escalators at the NEL ticketing concourse from Plaza Singapura, the wall there is a temporary one.

With regards to Landmark station, I know I've seen that on wikipedia which is why I doubt its authenticity.

Novawin SG

Oh haha. Thanks. I will figure it out and know where is it next time I am in Dhoby Ghaut station. Very Happy

I think should be the latter case. The pic was published in LTA'S june-july magazine issue. link is shown below:

yup. i seems the overall CCL side is bigger than expected... what about the wall on the travellator side? this wall leading to the NSL side looks temporary. does it have anything (i seriously doubt so) to do with the CCL?

SMRT 32373238 SG

how u know the CCL platform is higher than the NEL one? i thought it was lower?
cool what u mean by a bridge instead of a hall? behind the starhub advert wall is nothing but 1 level down?

DMC05 SG

At the end of the transfer link there's a white wall on the NSL ticketing concourse, this is temporary. I assume there will be escalators or stairs from here to get to the CCL mezzanine/void/transfer concourse.

The NEL transfer will be at B3 where passengers can come up one escalator, cross over to the transfer concourse at the CCL station and descend one level to the platforms.

There used to be a diagram somewhere showing the full layout of Dhoby Ghaut station - NSL, NEL and CCL.

passed by Marymount station today. progress is very fast; the road divider i the middle of Marymount road is almost completely filled up. the hoardings on the side of the road towards Thomson road have mostly been taken off and a layer of tarmac is being spread on the newly- filled up road divider. meanwhile, what looks like an air vent in the middle of that road divider does not seem to have changed much in the past week. finally, the station entrances are nearing completion.

marymount road will be reinstated by end of the year. Mr. Green

Last Thursday's News 5 Tonight showed the construction site of rebuilt Nicoll Highway MRT station. The evacuative phase of Nicoll Highway station is now completed so they began to lay the concrete to build the station.

hey nice pics! thanks for the update... it really sucks to be stuck in camp on weekdays without news... its like being in a cave... anyway is this bottom the platform? or does it go any deeper? looks very shallow to me...

Novawin SG

Yeah, think it's the bottom of the platform. And it look smaller than the original station which was built near The Concourse before the collapse. The rebuilt station is now 1/3 lesser of the size of the original station.

Rebuilt Nicoll Highway Station

Original Nicoll Highway Station

The original look much more unique cos it allow the sunlight to pass through the glass panel but now the rebuilt one does not feature this anymore.

Blame those constructors lor. Smile
