I've studied the alignment of the CRL very carefully and have discovered where the interchanges will be for the Cross Island Line

East West Line - Clementi

Downtown Line - King Albert Park

North East Line - Hougang

Buy buy buy!!!!

HK already has airport express ... Singapore everything also do when profitable sigh ...

a more useful one will be 2nd circle line ... I don't know what LTA is thinking really

but at least one thing is confirmed, ERL and DTL3 will connect at Expo by 2025 ... Tampines residents can reach East coast / Marina Bay easily

The next announcement should be where the stations for the ERL are

sited... already this line is scheduled to be completed by 2022, so you can

imagine when these new 2 lines will be up an running..

Lets also wait and see what the Masterplan 2013 will bring, especially any

changes in the plot ratio, if any.

yah, that was supposed to be the coastal line or something. the way i see the current map, it stopped short of extending from the punggol tip up to the YCK/Yishun/Sembawang area.

apparently they are concentrating on devping the jurong region first. see that jurong extension lines all branching out. possibly tengah may develop before simpang

OK, when I am retired, I can give up my car liao. Can go everywhere from Sin Ming.

I actually think there will be an interchange at west coast (right next to Infinity). If you noticed from the map, after clementi, it branches out into 2 line, one towards Jurong East and the other towards Jurong industrial estate. I reckon there will be one station a teban/pandan after west coast.

Possible, but Hougang seems more likely choice as there are empty patches of land surrounding the MRT making construction works easier and less disruptive to the neighbourhood.

Not sure how accurate is the drawn dotted MRT line.

The line is drawn at the east of the Serangoon River. My guess: the MRT will turn toward Tampines Road instead of SengKang East road. The funny part is that line is not terminated in Changi Airport but go to Loyang, Changi and then connected with ERL.

I maybe wrong, but after studied the line carefully, my bet is Parc Vera to be the beneficiary of this new line announcement out of the 3 condo, Parc v, riversound & boathouse as the line drawn is further down nearer to hougang rather than sengkang.
River isle where is in punggol central is not affected.

Likely to have one at Clementi MRT then go down to the bus-stop at west coast (hopefully near Hong Leong Gardens because the catchment area is there) before splitting into one at the edge of the international business park then to Jurong East. Seems to be underground as it is cutting through very dense areas, particularly Clementi at the west side. Let's see...

Should be one at clmenti, then a interchange at west coast where it will split to either jurong east or towards jurong industrial. West coast station should serve commuters from pandan garden, Faber crest and hong leong garden residences.

Yes, I think the bus-stop with its spaces around it, catchment area, distance between stations, this location meets the criteria very well.

Particularly it has to bear the name "west coast" and this is the last stretch of about 1 km (usu this distance between stations) that aligns almost horizontally with the Clementi MRT station. This also in agreement with the outline of the propose route.

Towards west there shoud be one at teban, one at jurong lakeside; next to the Future theme park and one at bird park junction.

I didn't really trace that line. Yes, very likely at Teban since the population density there is quite high and it makes sense to have one at Teban given that there should be a station at the business park just north of it. The West Coast interchange is important as I hope it will be near my house :)

Possibly not until 2020+.

The Thomson Line has only announced the exact station locations last year and it was around 7 to 8 years before its expected completion.

Also don't expect it to complete in time. The 2030 date is the earliest possible date. In reality it will more likely complete later than that. It is HUGE line and no small feat.

I think the whole idea of CRL and JRL is basically to make JLD more accessible as they do anticipate more and more companies will start to move their offices to JLD.

With MND, BCA, Capitaland as confirmed tenant at JLD, I wont be surprise that other developers could follow. Perhaps, they will bid for their own commercial site and build their own office building.

The COE price is only a barrier, keep raising it (due to pple who are high net worth and have cash to splash) and soon we will see only millionaires sitting in the traffic jams. How to raise the COE? by informing the quota reduction before the next bidding exercise and whalla, the COE is again higher than the historic high. The profile of car owners change from those who need the cars for work to the rich.

I agree. After venturing there for a few months, looking at the local prices + surrounding at some places and Singapore's statistics, it is not hard to figure out where the next booming area will be. Given the high COE prices, it will be middle-class Singaporeans' and PRs' playground as travelling there by car is the best option.

Not true. It is to improve connectivity as a whole in SG.

Eg people staying in the north, in order to take the train to Changi, have to either change at City Hall or change at bishan, take the circle line, get off at paya lebar and then back to green line.

Having a cross island line helps everyone.

of course if does bring some convenience for ppl living around the MRT line. However unlike the past where all MRT line are always talking cutting time to travel into central Singapore. This time round many people were caught by surprise about the CRL which bypass CBD entirely. and what it basically does is that it help connect people all the way from the East to the West with a fast track CRL. Which mean staffs of capitaland MND and BCA etc will be able to continue living in the East and work in JLD; which will become the 2nd largest commercial hub outside CBD. Just to give you some numbers for comparison.


* 5.4million sqft of office space, which is equivalent to more than 4 blocks of One Raffles Quay.

* 2.7million sqft of commercial space for retail F&B etc. About 2 x the size of VIVOCITY

* 2800 hotel rooms - which is about having 1 MBS (2600rooms)

* Ng Teng Fong Hosipital + Jurong Community Hospital (total : 1100 beds) - About the size of NUH which has slightly less than 1100 beds

* 220ha land for attractions - 3 times the land area of RWS

With so many activities going on in JLD, where do you think they are going to find people to fill in the jobs? within Jurong only?
