    Going by the time line....

    since Thomson Line due to be up by 2018 and announced in a few months, it can be assumed that if the ERL were to be up in 2020, it should be announced in about 2 years from now.

    So looks like more waiting for the ERL.

Long wait lor... and maybe its also a good sign for the next super high peak for property anything from 2016 to 2020 (just guessing).

    any ideas where the bayshore station is likely to be? hope my future place won't get affected by construction activities

    If there is its unlikely, to affect those projects in Bayshore Road.

    why so? unless the station is not going to be at bayshore road. everytime i pass by tampines and witness the DTL construction, i dread

    Initial plans did not show a Bayshore station.

    What is worse is not having a station there but having the inconvenience of its construction.

    Yah... saw that too.

    Presently there are 2 schools of thought (or rather speculation)

    It depends on the alignment of the track. If it runs along Marine Parade, then it should run through Bayshore. If it runs along East Coast road, then it will bypass Bayshore and the station is more likely at Upper East Coast Road.

    After the SERs of the 4 blocks of old one-roomer HDB at Siglap, the speculation is leaning towards bypassing Bayshore.... I guess we'll have to wait a couple of years more to find out.

    well, now the rabbit's outta the bag. just wondering how the underground tunnel will be built beneath upper east coast road.

    the area is all built up and roads are 2 lanes wide in each direction......

    there is not much detail related to the news in the Straites times

    mentioned about passing Siglap, Marine Parade, Bedok South, Upper East Coast, Tanjong Rhu.

    yep... this is nothing new, the names of the stations were known long ago. what is important is the alignment of the track and the precise location of the stations.

    Have they actively lined up soil test machines yet?

    They might go with Marine Parade Road ...more scope for finding space for the stations/related structures. And it's nice and straight for most parts.

    but apparently rumour issues with the old sea wall. dunno, not a civil engineer, so no idea what the engineering difficulties of tunneling below an old sea wall is like.

    Point taken...thank you.

    Very little space for stations/ventillation ducts for sites along ECR but I reckon engineers will find them.

    Upper East Cost Road starts from Bedok South Ave 1 to Bedok Road. Thus, it is not parallel to Marine Parade Road.

    Actually Upper East Coast Road starts right after Siglap Centre.

    saw this on skyscraper city as well... station E10 seems a bit too close to E9. Also around E10 area, population density seems too low to justify a station to bebuilt

    another interesting thing is that the Bayshore area seems to be entirely bypassed.

    how is bayshore bypassed?! the track runs through the entire upper east coast road.

    don't think population density really matters all that much. if so, dakota wouldn't have been built given that Mountbatten isn't that far away. also the density around the DTL2 is also not that high.

    Also there might be plans to move the army camp in the future, who knows.

    anyway the length of ERL is approx 13km and there are 10 stations. ER9 and ER10 are approx 1.2km apart. So it seems reasonable.

    Ok perhaps "bypass" is not the correct word.

    I was referring to one speculation that a station will be built in the heart of the Bayshore area near Bayshore Road but it seems the track will now run further north along Upper East Coast Road instead.

    i'm fine with not having an MRT station right at my door step, after seeing all the noise and construction activities with the DTL
