NXL = North Xpress Line
NAL = North Airport Line
Yes, it's a remake of my previous North Xpress Line. This time,
I recorded announcements myself, and somehow replanned the entire
route.
I referred to Google Maps and somehow traced out the map of both
the lines so that they won't collide with buildings like the
previous North Xpress Line did.
Description of Route:
It starts at an
empty field where the future station will be in Boon Lay. From
there, it turns up north, crosses the East West Line by above, and
crosses the North South Line above in Choa Chu Kang. It then turns
into Sembawang and makes a stop. The North Airport Line will have
platforms but will skip this station. It crosses the North South
Line again and make its way and follow TPE. Due to space
constraints, the 2 lines will share tracks starting from there. The
tracks will go underground immidiately after Sungei Punggol. The
tracks will split to make another platform, and splits again to
seperate the 2 lines. Both lines will have a stop here. The both
lines will merge again so as to make trains easily return to
Punggol Depot. They will split again and the North Xpress Line will
make its way to Pasir Ris. Before it terminates, it will go above
ground and will stop near the existing Pasir Ris East West Line
terminus.
The North Airport Line will continue all the way underground and
stops below the existing Changi Airport Line terminus.
Short Working Trips:
Every morning, 5
C251s (NXL variant) will serve NAL which stops at Sembawang. It
uses the NXL platforms throughout until after Sengkang station,
which it will continue to Changi Airport station.
For LTE, 4 trains will serve between Pasir Ris and will stop at
Sengkang Platform C instead. Trains will turn back from there back
to Pasir Ris.
In the evening, both the LTE and morning SWT schedules will be
on.
