Pierce Sec, Bishan Park Sec, AMK Pri, Mayflower Pri are all around there.
132 very high chance of being axed... the route is being duplicate... until it reaches Thomson Road area (McRitchie Reservoir)
There are already train stations for Orchard, Redhill and Bukit Merah... which 132 covers... in between can take other buses... -
But Tanglin Rd, Stevens Rd area still bo MRTOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:165 can have a lot of people. A lot of people take this bus to Mayflower Sec and the schools around that area.

North Shore Line still remains undecided... anyway I think if such a line will be implemented it would be good because it saves alot of time travelling from East <> North East <> North.
Saves alot of time on services like 87, 85, 161 and 168. Most probably 87 will be axed, 85 completely withdrawn, and 161/168 axed.
That's if SUCH a line is approved. Now still remains unconfirmed. -

Does Eastern Region Line link up with Thomson Line?
Or link up with NSL Marina extension? -
Maybe at the site of the former Temporary Ang Mo Kio InterchangeOriginally posted by ^tamago^:amk ave 2.... -
OMG the map so many lines?
OT: The "Thomson Line" is spelled wrongly as "Thompson". -
Nope. This map is not LTA's official future rail map. It was created by someone to illustrate how rail map will be in 2030 or 2040. That's why this person spelled Thomson wrongly.Originally posted by Oceane:OMG the official LTA release map so many lines?

Kim Chuan Depot all ready to provide support for rail lines
SINGAPORE: After five years of construction, the Kim Chuan Depot is now ready to provide support for the upcoming Circle and Downtown MRT Lines.
The underground structure will provide stabling of the trains, maintenance and operational control of the two rail lines.
Transport Minister Raymond Lim visited the new facility on Friday, where he announced more rail lines ahead following a review of SingaporeÂ’s land transport.
Kim Chuan Depot is Singapore’s first underground depot — in fact, 17 metres down under.
Measuring 11 hectares, or the size of 17 football fields, the depot is also the worldÂ’s largest.
The $290 million depot will house several state—of—the—art facilities like its Operation Control Centre which will be manned by nine operators at any one time.
Their role is to supervise the day—to—day operations of the trains and stations.
They can also communicate with passengers onboard trains, monitor CCTV images, or shut down the system if there is an emergency.
Commuters will have a smoother ride too, with the help of whatÂ’s called a cripple siding located between the two rail tracks.
Ong Boon Ann, Land Transport Authority’s deputy director for Circle Line Systems, said: "When there’s a defective train, a train that malfunctions, it can be moved to be parked at the cripple siding. This way, it will not impede any on—coming trains."
Trains will be sent for maintenance at a workshop in the depot, and to facilitate checks, they will be hoisted by a special lifting system, considering that each train comprises three carriages and weighs about 120 tonnes.
The Land Transport Authority says 16 trains have arrived at the depot so far. Another 24 will be delivered by the end of this year, three months earlier than planned. The depot can accommodate 77 trains.
The facility has a 23—metre high automatic storage and retrieval system, a first for a train depot.
The depot also has a central warehouse for the Circle Line, storing three to five years worth of materials and spare parts needed for the maintenance work.
The place is packed with subterranean activities, but the ground level will not be neglected. About three hectares of land left empty will be used for light industrial development which can have buildings of up to nine storeys. — CNA/ir -

Residents welcome proposed Thomson MRT Line
SINGAPORE : Residents in Kim Seng, Thomson, Sin Ming and Kebun Baru have reason to celebrate — especially with the unveiling of plans for the new Thomson MRT line, which will be ready in 2018.
While most are happy about the new development, there are some concerns about costs and the long wait for the new line.
One resident said, "I think itÂ’ll be good for the citizens around here. You can get to places around much more easily."
Another noted, "From a business perspective, itÂ’s a positive development."
The MRT is definitely a cheaper alternative to taxis.
However, some are concerned about the cost.
One resident commented, "I can say (taking the MRT) is a bit expensive."
Gerard Ee, Chairman, Public Transport Council, said, "All these costs for building additional trains and stations — in Singapore, the basic infrastructure is paid for by the government. So as commuters, they’ll say ’Wow, all this is exciting, and it’s not going to impact my pocket’."
However, one impact is the decade—long wait for the new line.
A resident said, "2018 is a long time. I donÂ’t know whether IÂ’ll live to that stage."
Another added, "We donÂ’t like to see the situation (similar to) whatÂ’s happening in Buangkok. ItÂ’s open, itÂ’s closed...creating unhappiness among the residents."
On the whole, residents have welcomed the new line. But is this enough to make the public transport system their other car, as suggested by Transport Minister Raymond Lim.
One resident commented, "I will not consider buying a car, as I would have more money to spend on other stuff."
Another added, "IÂ’m so used to driving. It is convenient for us anyway."
Nevertheless, convenience is definitely on the cards — and that is something that will surely help change the way Singaporeans travel. — CNA/ms -
I don't think Thomson Line will interchange with NSL via AMK station given the space constraint at AMK Ave 3 and 8.
But if it is to be built at AMK Ave 2 or former bus interchange, the linkway distance is much longer than the linkway distance between NSL and NEL at Dhoby Ghaut.
From what I have know after reading Raymond Lim's speech, it is obvious that Thomson Line may not interchange with NSL via AMK station.
Perhaps, Thomson Line's station will serve those living in westernmost parts of AMK in between Upper Thomson Road and AMK Ave 1.
Just my opinions.
