  Redhill - the only MRT station that is shaped like a trapezoid when viewed from above.

  Redhill is the smallest MRT station in S'pore. The platforms are NOT parallel to each other. All other stations' platforms are parallel to each other.

  I don't think all MRT stations have toilet. Just like in the pass, no lifts. People / Eldery used Escalator :P

  A lot of stations have bathrooms, but I refuse to use them. MRT bathrooms are the worst bathrooms I've ever seen in my life.

  Speaking about toilets, NOT all MRT stations got toilet. (correct me if I'm wrong, but I need proof!)

  And too, I got a couple of Record breakers: (stations)

  • EW14 / NS26 Raffles place has the most exits: at eleven
  • CC4 / DT15 Promenade the deepest: at 43m deep
  • NS24 / NE6 / CC1 Dhoby Ghaut the biggest and second deepest: 29m deep
  • EW15 Tanjong Pagar's Xchange biggest Xchange
  • NS22 Orchard is most populous station
  • NS19 Toa Payoh is oldest: 23 years old
  • NS17 / CC15 Bishan NSL first station to built additional platform during operating days
  • DT10 Stevens first station to have stacked side platforms
  • NE2 ??? first station in NEL not to have island platforms
  • EW8 / CC9 Paya Lebar first over-head / underground station
  • EW1 Pasir Ris first station to have 1.5m doors installed and operated.
  • EW30 ??? highest station in Singapore

  (lines):

  • The NSL is the oldest line in Singapore, operatead since 1987, and the most populous line.
  • The EWL has the most over-head stations.
  • The NEL is the only line that has all its stations with island platforms.
  • The distance between each CCL stations is the nearest.
  • The DTL contain the most stations without island platforms
  • The TSL has 4 carriages and 5 + 5 doors.
  • The ERL has the least amount of interchanges and the 21km line is the 2nd shortest line after the NEL: 20km.

  Sure boh?

  1: RFP got the most exits. Usually people say Farrer Park got the most exits.

  Well, look it at this way, some of the MRT exits are skipped (Chinatown no Exit B, Clarke Quay no Exit E and Little India or Farrer Park got one skipped exit as well, cant remember.) and hence if you really see Exit I, it might not mean it has 11 exits. Even if it has, 11 / 2 = 6 ~ 7 exits [Note: 2 lines serving RFP] while FRP has only NEL for now.

  2: Toa Payoh is not the oldest. It should be between Toa Payoh to Yio Chu Kang.

  3: Stevens is not the first to have stacked side platforms. Promenade CCL / DTL Stage 1 is the first. (Not sure if CCL one will be converted to CTH / RFP as the other side might be used for Marina Bay extension)

  4: Paya Lebar is also the first and possibly last [underground] station to have middle track.

  5: EW30 is also probably the last [aboveground] station to have track in between the 2 ends, not to mention it will be the first and possibly the last station to have 2 middle tracks!

  6: DTL is also the first line with the knot shape, despite Rochor / Sungei Road is not an interchange.

  You FAILED!!!!Better research more !!

  1. RFP I did count the exits, unless u gonna tell me that exits: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, (I) is missing. But here, u are still correct in a way.
  2. Toa Payoh was built first,
  3. That's what I think you would say; But Promenade also has another platform design: island (DTL).

  Promenade station ddesign:

                                                                        OR

  • L1 Street Level                                 
  • B1 concurse Level
  • B2 DHG -bound platform
  • B3 Ristricted access
  • B4 MYM -bound platform
  • B5                                             DTL platform
  • B6 DTL platform                           ================

  4.  Wrong. Bedok Town Park copycat it.

  5. / 6. Agree

  @ sni1996, who are u refering to??

  • That's what I think you would say; But Promenade also has another platform design: island (DTL).

  BTW, DTL is NOT beside existing CCL, if not the 43m is fake ah? (Current CCL PMN not 43m, not even 35m, if not Bras Basah fake one??)

  Hence, the island design for PMN is possible, with a few outcomes:

  1: Marina Bay extension (Highest)

  2: Another unknown line / Future of terminus to it (Speculated Holland Line??)

  3: Permeantly dead [Potential stacked island but never be] --- Most likely not

   

  Note: There was a article on Mediacorp (Since then it was removed) regarding PMN's design was quite confusing and people going towards wrong platforms issue, SMRT replied that PMN will be an interchange and such design provide provision to it. But recent article on DTL PMN to be 43m to be deepest of all and it is located about 50cm away from the other side of the CCL platform hints that the current other side is NOT DTL but more likely other lines in future OR Marina Bay extension (Even when it is closed between HBF - MRB, most likely the train will be to DBG - PMN - BSH - HBF - MRB - PMN for current "9" and PMN - MRB - HBF - BSH - PMN - DBG for current "8" assuming that DBG is not a branch line of another line in future [Read: Holland Line], even if DBG - PMN is a branch line, then it might be more tricky, maybe the simplest idea is that ESP - PMN sector will not be using existing CCL but the "new" platform on the other side of PMN while the closed CCL will use only CCL tracks. There are other ideas as well, but too complicated to list them all.)

   

  BTW, Bedok Town Park's plan was most likely changed. Regarding the press' statement is "fake". What addition to Jalan Besar? Joker! It was more likely to have the Bedok Town Park decided to be Paya Lebar CCL or not. And they choose no, meaning there wont be any Bedok extension for DTL, despite I feel it is strategical to connect Bedok North - Centre and South in 1 [branch] line.

  Thanks for yr info. Of course I noe that DTL is UNDER CCL platform. But I read the Western Region Line Topic Page 3, Dragonaxe saying the line will be dead forever.

  BTP stn layout has 3 stns because of lack of Interchanges in ERL, and that the ERL would be have two extensions; one to PYL and bring the line down towards Marine Parade. BTP stn's extension brings ERL downwards to the Bedok South MRT station, as I guess. these stations may also be triggered to have double island platforms then.

  But before that, does PYL have any signs that is is most likely to extend to Marine parade? I believe such signs could simply be seen if the middle track here stops or ends suddenly (south bound), because in future they may dig futher south.

  Current CCL not even 29m, and I think the esclator to DTL is going to be thrice as long as Bras Basah's, since Raffles Place is still in 3rd position, yet 21m only. The reason I said Stevens is the first is because by then ,Promenade have two types of design, but Stevens has MAINLY stacked side platforms. I highly agree that Promenade's design could be for future MRT lines, as there must be a reason why such design is needed. CEL won't use the other side of CCL but the very same old CCL tracks. Otherwise, CEL either use DHG or MYM bound. Another reason could be tat DTL earlier deep too crazily and the hill is too steep for DTL go up to the side interchange CCL. Hence, they go down below CCL. But such reason may not answer this mystery.

  Due to Nicoll Highwy collapse, LTA quickly shift the at first known as BTL line to promenade. Promenade must have probably planned for stacked side BTW. But since DTL cut in, Promenade simply let DTL in under CCL. But could CCL's layout be due to constraits? Promenade was NOT planned to interchange DTL until 2004 colapse.

  STATION:	LINE:	LOCATION:	REMARKS:
  NS1 / EW24 Jurong East	EWL / NSL	Jurong East	By 2012, an additional platform and track will serve the station to minimize congestion.
  NS2 Bukit Batok	NSL	West Mall	A train would have to move slower due to the collapse; just like Serangoon Interchange when the CCL was under construction.
  NS3 Bukit Gombak	NSL	Bukit Gombak Stadium	It is interesting to know that there’s a small tunnel between Bukit Batok and Bukit Gombak.
  NS4 / BP1 Choa Chu Kang	NSL / BPLRT	Choa Chu Kang Mall	Together with Ten Mile Junction LRT station, the BPLRT uses island platform instead of side platforms.
  NS5 Yew Tee	NSL	Yew Tee Close	NIL
  NS6 Sungei Kadut	NSL	Unverified	This station, like Dover, will ‘fit’ into the station and uses side platforms. Since 2010, the LTA has not announced any information on this station.
  NS7 Kranji	NSL	Woodlands Road	This station can be accessed from almost all sides.
  NS8 Marsiling	NSL	Woodlands Avenue 3	This station has a cover as it is near HDB flats. A tunnel between Marsiling and Kranji stations is available.
  NS9 Woodlands	NSL	Causeway Point Mall	This station may be an interchange with the upcoming TSL and Johor Bahru extension.
  NS10 Admiralty	NSL	Admiralty 889 Mall	NIL
  NS11 Sembawang	NSL	Sun Plaza	A North Shore / Coast Line (planning) may run across this station to Punggol, Seletar, Pasir Ris and Loyang.
  NS12 Unverified
  NS13 Yishun	NSL	Northpoint		Like Admiralty, this station experienced suicide, recorded in CCTVs.
  NS14 Khatib	NSL	Khatib Point		The distance from this station to Yio Chu Kang is the longest - more than 3 km long.
  NS15 Yio Chu Kang	NSL	Yio Chu Kang Bus Terminal		Lentor MRT station, which is abandoned, used to be planned between this and Khatib MRT stations, due to the offer to build a theme park near the area by Disney. However, the plan was rejected. Once, a car speeding at 80 km / ph jumped into the path of an incoming train. The driver did not managed to stop the train, but managed to slow the train down enough that no accidents occurred. There were no delays.
  NS16 Ang Mo Kio	NSL	AMK Hub		This station has 2 platforms. During peak hours, both North-Bound and South-Bound trains can terminate at the middle platform to go the opposite way. This is the only station capable of doing so. The design is similar to YCK station except the middle platform which YCK does not have.
  NS17 Bishan	NSL / CCL	Junction 8		Bishan is the first station in Singapore that constructs a new platform during operating days.
  NS18 Braddell	NSL	Yellow Pages		Braddell is the first station in Singapore with side platforms.
  NS19 Toa Payoh	NSL	HDB Hub		Toa Payoh is the oldest station in Singapore.
  NS20 Novena	NSL	TTSH		Like Toa Payoh, falling bricks used to be a problem here.
  NS21 / DT11 Newton	NSL	Newton Circus		By 2015, Little India could be accessed by a stop on the DTL.
  NS22 Orchard	NSL	ION orchard and many malls		Orchard is the most populous station in Singapore.
  NS23 Somerset	NSL	Somerset road		Despite many buildings, Somerset is not very populous.
  NS24 / NE6 / CC1 Dhoby Ghaut	NSL / NEL / CCL	Dhoby Xchange		Currently, this is the biggest and 2nd deepest MRT station in Singapore, at 29m, after Bras Basah.
  NS25 / EW13 City Hall	NSL / EWL	Stamford Road		A link to Esplanade is available here.
  NS26 / EW14 Raffles Place	NSL / EWL	Battery Road		This is the third deepest and second biggest MRT station currently at 21 m below ground level. With ten exits, this station has the most exits in Singapore too.
  NS27 / CE2 / TSL (under planning) / ERL (under planning) Marina Bay	NSL / CEL / TSL (under planning) / ERL (under planning)	Marina Bay station Road		Probably by 2020, Marina Bay would have the most lines connecting it and may turn out bigger than Dhoby Ghaut.
  NS28 Marina South Pier
