4) Which 3 stations besides Sengkang Station, are the odd ones out in the Sengkang LRT system. <= Note edit, 3 instead of 2.

2. Im guessing it's Clarke Quay?
3. Braddell
4. Fernvale; Tongkang
5. Orchard and I dunno.
6. Punggol (PTC) covered by platform for the:
i)future Punggol North LRT Line and to
ii)create an island platform for the time being to allow easier transfer instead of side platforms.
7. Marina Bay?
8. For passengers in both paid and unpaid areas to buy exit ticket.
- Unmanned Stations or stations which service centres are located far away.
9. Dhoby Ghaut
- To buy return trip standard ticket.
10. Buangkok
- Opened only because of white elephant incident. Sengkang MRT and Renjong LRT stations only about 500m away for better connections. Not enough HDB flats. Only 500 people use it during peak periods. Only 2 bus services. 1 childcare centre. Only developing developments around it. Exits look cheap, like unwanted white cloth.

wah seh ur questions all very hard sia, cant answer practically all of them.
6) i think it's PW2 Teck Lee station. i'm not very sure but i think i read somewhere that PW2 was supposed to connect to a northern spur line that hasnt been built due to no demand, and has a middle platform. never been there before, so i dont really know, dont flame me if my answer is wrong. anyway i dont think the trackway would be in a very good condition now, since the western loop of the punggol LRT isnt open yet, and is unlikely to open anytime in the near future. therefore they wouldnt have any reason to maintain the trackway there.
10) i feel it's NE15 Buangkok station. around a week before NEL opened, residents there were that buangkok station would remain closed due to a projected lack of sufficient ridership. its not so much about closing the station, but i feel that the very late notice given to the residents there really left a bad image on SBST and LTA. then obviously the residents were very unhappy and kept calling for the station to be opened. then finally the station was opened 1-2 years later, problem solved (for the residents). but now ridership at that station is very low, or at least during the last time i passed by it. it just looks very stupid that SBST/ LTA announced that the station would not open, just before it was due to open. and after it finally opens, ridership is one of the lowest among the NEL stations. just my personal opinion, i dont mean to offend anyone.

I was looking for Punggol station, but since you say Teck Lee, maybe its time for some exploration there.

1) Not answered
2) Your guess is correct
3) Yes, but name the block too
4) Fernvale is one of them, it has side platforms instead of a island platform .Tongkang is not even though it has a linkbridge to Sengkang Depot. I'm looking for major features on the platform for the other 2. note that I edited the question at 10:20+pm to mean 3 stations
5) No.
6) Correct
7) No, it has bus services planned for it as seen from the Northstar excercise.
8) Correct
9) No.
10) Open ended. Accepted the "white elephant incident" reasoning but for the others, I have a counter argument now, Buangkok is starting to be a little more busy right now, HDB blocks are completed with NTUC (24 hours) and Kopitiam opening there.

Ok, Teck Lee is not (as now, dunno future, most probably northbound Punggol North line will bypass the station) a station with middle track.

You said Sengkang LRT. Is the Punggol system included?

You know why Farjar? because the stn is near a Shopping Market lol. Maybe the second one is Senjar? -
According to the looks of Google Earth, Punggol North Line will stop at Teck Lee station. For the north-bound train, it will stop at the west-most platform then fly over and then turn to the right. For the south-bound train, it will merge back before the station and stop at the same platform as the clockwise loop of the Punggol West Line. There is a plot of land for the expansion of the station as currently there is a patch of sand without any trees grown on it towards where the track for the north-bound Punggol North Line is. So the question should be corrected to this:
6) Which LRT Station in operation has a center track and what is the state of the trackway now? Give 2 reasons why do you think so.
But I answered it already so nevermind.
Then again, the Punggol station centre track is not electrified and there appears to be some sort of buffer before the centre line enters the station. So maybe the centre line haven't even been built yet?

Thats why I ask "what is the state of the trackway now" in my question.

Answers:
1) Bukit Panjang and Fajar. Bukit Panjang has 2 lifts per platform instead of 1, which the other stations have. Fajar's outer loop platform has the lift in the middle, unlike the others, which are at the end of the platform.2) Clarke Quay. Artwork on the floor which is a map of Singapore River.
3) Braddell. Blk 203 Toa Payoh North.
4) Fernvale. It has side platforms instead of an island platform. Also, the outer loop platform has a closed exit to a future development.
Kangkar and Farmway. They are stations without a large emergency platform at the ends. Instead they have the transformer rooms there.5) Choa Chu Kang LRT station. Passengers will have to tap their card on a special machine, which will print out the coupon on a piece of thermal paper which you can present it at the Lot 1 Shaw Cineplex.
6) Punggol. The middle track is covered over. If you look at the ends at the middle of the platform, you can see a trackway. The trackway is for the Punggol North LRT line and is currently unused and not powered.
7) Ten Mile Junction. Passengers will have to walk to Phoenix or Bukit Panjang station, though it is unknown why they dint direct passengers to Senja.
8) Its for people who have underpayed or lost their ticket to get their exit ticket to exit the station. It is situated at stations without a customer service office or an exit of a station which have the customer service centre located at another side of the station.
9) Expo. There are 8 GTMs in the concourse, and 2 at the platform level. GTM 10 is used for the purpose mentioned in 8)
10) Ten Mile Junction. This station has the smallest entrance, one lift door and one staircase (which cannot be opened from the station itself) are the only entrances to the station. It also has low ridership (as compared to Route A and B), even with the already long 20 minutes frequency. There is no emergency bus service planned for the station and the aircon is controlled by a normal aircon controller which you can find in offices. Luckily Sheng Shiong moved in...if not it would be worse. Simply Pathetic.
