Circle Line

what does shell station mean ?
-
woodleigh on NEL is a shell station.
a shell station means the station is dug and concrete structures in place (how much civil engineering incorporated varies according to requirements - woodleigh and buangkok were kind of fully built-up and ready to go).
the station will not be opened immediately but built to accomodate opening at a later time.
this prevents the inconvenience of having to build a station in a proposed area again later after the line has opened, whether it is to the passengers who will be using the line or from the viewpoint of engineering effort required to build a new station on an existing line. -
means bai sui station lah?

anyone had the map?

Circle Line on track to open by 2010
SINGAPORE : After delays caused by the Nicoll Highway accident, the Circle Line is finally on track for completion by 2010.
The first of its 40 trains has just been delivered with the rest expected progressively over the next two years.
It was a hands-on experience for new Transport Minister Raymond Lim as he went on his first official tour of the Circle Line.
The $6.8b system is a circular line comprising 29 stations - six are interchange stations that will intersect with existing lines.
It's not yet clear whether the line will open in phases or all at once.
But what is clear is that the new Circle Line will cut travelling time.
For example, while a journey from Paya Lebar to Bishan currently takes about 35 minutes, going on the Circle Line will take about 17 minutes.
This is because commuters do not have to go all the way into town to make a transfer.
But with the line only opening in four years time, will MRT fares on the Circle Line be higher?
"This is something that will have to be worked out closer to the date," replied Mr Lim.
The new look of the fully automated Circle Line train, costing $8.3 million each, was unveiled.
One key difference is there are only three cars instead of six cars. That is because this is a medium capacity line but safety features are similar to existing systems.
An improved security feature in the new trains is the CCTVs. It films what goes on in the trains continuously, with the tape over-riding itself only every 4-5 days.
The only other system that has this right now is the NorthEast Line but that is only for 1-2 days.
The system will be controlled by an Operations Control centre at Kim Chuan Depot, the world's largest underground depot.
Half a million passengers are expected to use the Circle Line daily.

Another round of bus rationalisation which brings to many getting poorer
Addition to the cost of living -
The whole line will open in 2008 except the stretch after Nicholl Higway right?
-
we cannot confirm this thing bout other stages opening first, though we are hoping they would do it.
-
there is one shell station below punggol mrt station for north shore line, this is really just a station box.
circle line harbourfront is also another shell station. it was completed together with harbourfront nel station and vivocity, primarily because the ccl platform is below vivocity. -
anyone can post the circle line route?

After that is cleared grounds.
Due to some kind of water stagnantation of the drains in the area, these trucks come often to pump water out of the drains. Mediacorp is in the background.
Quite far in from the main road already.
