Has that always been the case or is it a recent modification? I never really noticed.

Again, splendid work.

Also, a random video on how to convert a Circle Line PSD into the North East Line PSD. Do note certain elements have been edited prior to the recording.

Releasing energy before exams, enjoy.




For Tai Seng, I originally considered adding a interchange station at the lower right junction, but it seems it has been occupied for a future project. Here's an extremely random mock up, with no relevance to geography or reality.

whats the Cyan line, Selo? T7?

[Seloloving]

I have no idea really, I just had a hunch Tai Seng will be a unconnected interchange in future. The unconstructed exit and numerous service corridors are present mostly only in interchanges.

Problem with the theory is that the space where I labelled the station box has iPark (orsomething) being constructed above it. An empty field is present on the lower left, though.

[mdzulkar9]

Yes. Also, KPE is below it. So mafan to build an MRT below KPE.

[mdzulkar9]

it is hilarious though that none of the exits at Tai Seng have an actual connection to streets of the same name.

[Seloloving]

The unbuilt entrance is likely to lie on the south eastern side of the station. y2koh mentioned that LTA's hoping to pass off the cost to private developers.

It still makes life difficult for those heading to Tai Seng from the north though. There's no linkway and barely any pedestrian road at all to pass from the northern bridge depicted to the station.

Why can't our station exits be this compact yet beautiful?

We can, but our limits are those design guidelines.

[sandstorm6299]

You mean the design guidelines that dictate that station exits should be massive behemoths the size of 10 buses?

[deskoh91]

Perhaps we have more stringent requirements on ventilation that requires many of them to double up as ventilation buildings. Not to forget the accessibility lifts and ramps to get to them at levels above previous flood levels and the need to double up as CD shelters.

[ddes]

OMG. I used that exit everyday when I was in Tokyo. It's Exit C6 right?

I think deskoh91 is right. When I was in Tokyo, this particular exit had rainwater tripping down the stairs. Just a 0.1cm wide stream, but still.

Erm, not really thinking of that sort. Maybe for like weather, human comfort and such, and stuff like what deskoh and ddes has mentioned. But I believe there might be some restrictions. It would be good of course in such a tight spaced city centre.

[wd1]

i do think that our BBS Waterloo Street exit, for one, is just about as compact and elegant as the Ikebukuro one. not to mention the enthralling station interior.

that said - some of the CCL exits are indeed monstrosities.

[deskoh91]

which is why the station can not qualify as a CD shelter without adequate protection against aerial bomb attacks.

Maybe you are trying to linking to the Paya Lebar airport?

They can actually - NEL Chinatown is a CD Shelter & we installed a nice high level glass roof over it. The only thing about CD shelters is to protect the CD doors at concourse from bombs / shrapnel- i.e. protect using walls below ground.

So there is no reason why entrances can't be 'elegant'

[Seloloving]

Tai Seng, Bartley, MacPherson and Paya Lebar are pretty deep...surely they could have designed elegant structures than the ugly grey blocks.

I laughed so hard at this.

My proposed station was a fluke. But it could theoretically meet up with the proposed NCL and travel to Pasir Ris.

Haha, I got no idea of all these train networks. Not a trainspotter. Happened to see ur diagram... Who knows later on PL airport may become our terminal 5 catering for 'domestic flight' then there will be a need.

[Mith252]

Unlikely the case as the Air Force would still be there. Especially as now that they have acquired 24 F-15SG which could increase with the retiring of the F-5T fleet.
