Thomson Line Alignment stations to be shown soon

Many of us know that while we are in Singapore, most of us would take the bus and the MRT as our mode of transport. With the MRT, we can almost get to many shopping centres around Singapore as many of them are located once you step out of the gantries such as Serangoon's NEX shopping centre and Orchard Road's ION.

To cater to the increasing number of people taking the MRT, Singapore Government has been implementing several proposals these years, which have thus helped the citizens and foreigners in many areas. The recent ones would be the Downtown Line that is dued to complete by 2018.

Singapore's MRT system has went through much transformation. Photos shown below are in order.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is in the final stages of the advance engineering study for the Thompson Line, and will announce the alignment and stations "in the next few months". The LTA is also starting consultancy studies for the Eastern Region line which will eventually connect to the Thompson Line.

Minister of State for Transport Josephine Teo revealed this yesterday as she launched the start of tunnelling works for the third and final stage of the Downtown Line (DTL3). Due for completion in 2018, the LTA has confirmed only Woodlands as an interchange so far for the Thompson Line. The authority has mentioned Marina Bay as th end point in the south, and that the line would connect to teh Eastern Region Line, due to be up in 2020.

DT3 , which will have 16 stations, will run almost parallel to the East-West line. For those who live and work around this stretch of the line, DTL3 will provide a transport link to the Central Business District, the Marina Bay and the rest of the island.

The entire tunnelling process for the whole 21-km stretch of DTL3 is expected to take about 25 months. The first of two tunnel-boring machines at the future Mattar Station will tunnel through a distance of about 1.4km to Geylang Bahru Station. the Bencoolen station, at about 43m underground, will be the deepest station on the entire rail network and will take the longest time among the DTL3 is on the track to be completed in 2017.

Construction of the first two phrases of the Downtown Line is also making good progress.

Mrs Teo said Phrase 1 is on track to open its six stations towards the end of next year, while about 35% of tunnelling work for Phrase 2 has been completed. the first two trains will be delivered in October this year and another six progressively before the line opens.

"The Downtown Line will enhance overall rail connectivity in the eastern corridor, and bring relief tot eh crowded stretches of the East-West Line which wse experience from time to time," said Mrs Teo. "Downtown Line will give us a much denser rail network which will make public transport more comprehensive and more convenient for our commuters."
