easy access to King Albert Park for me :D

but that entire stretch seriously could do with a line, lots of schools and residences there...

I have no idea where Beauty World is even though my old jc uni apparently came from there.

They are just drawing up plans. They didn't disclose any information about just where the stations are. It is still very early in the planning stage. After all, the line is expected to come up only in 2011 to 2016. They have a lot of time.

2011 to 2016, hmmm...seems far away yet not that far

but would the Bkt Timah line be over and underground you think?

Didn't they say that it will be underground? And anyways don't think LTA would want to build MRT lines above ground anymore IMO. They take up space that could be used to house people, cause more noise pollution, esp when sg is getting more and more dense by the day.

It's the time of the year again. The session for MOT should be on 4th of March, based on previous years schedule. Will Mr Lim Guat Kwang bring up the MRT issue again?

Based on the addedum to the President's speech earlier this year, don't think there is anything exciting this year. There is no mention of rail development at all. The closest we can get is the development of New Downtown transportation network. Revival of Marina Line?

Read a not-so-recent article that mentioned ERL will be 35km, 30-station line.

Did a measurement and it's approximately from Chinatown to Bugis. Here's my guess on the locations

Chinatown
Telok Ayer
BFC
Casino
Millenia
Tanjong Rhu
Katong Park
Tanjong Katong
Marine Parade
Telok Kurau
Siglap
Laguna
Bayshore
Upper East Coast End
Expo
Simei East
Tampines East
Tampines North
Tampines
Tampines West
Bedok Town Park East
Bedok Town Park West
Kaki Bukit
Ubi
MacPherson
Kallang Way
Geylang Bahru
Kallang Bahru
Jalan Besar
Bugis

btw, this news is about 3 years old so they might have made some amendments like splitting the line into East Coast Line, from Chinatown to Bedok since going all the way to Expo now don't really make much economic sense, and ERL from Bugis (or MacPherson) to Expo.

Looking forward to the announcement of first phase of ECL when the casino project is finalised. :)

Bukit Timah Line please. Why? It will aleviate the heavy traffic along the Bukit Timah-Dunnearn Road corridors. Compare this to the East Region Line, which provides intra-town commuting. The Boon Lay extension (Jurong Industrial extension) only serves the Tuas area. The Jurong Region Line would be a close competitor to the BTL as this serves the NTU/NIE campus(es).

Kenmin, I realised that in the journal, the ERL doesn't connect to the NEL save for Chinatown station. Hmmmm.... That sounds inconvenient. Maybe that's why they have the circle line eh?

Now that we know the ERL will travel along the Jalan Besar, does anyone think that there will be any stations along this road? Bendemeer station? Jalan Besar station? I hope the ERL will have a Geylang Bahru or Kallang Bahru station as my cousin lives tehre. It would be easier to get to her place rather than go to Boon Keng station and take a bus.

I believe they have now decided to make it into a loop line which I thought should be the case from the beginning. However, may take a long time before the loop is completed. Some places the line passes through are still rather deserted.
