A fact from Thomson–East Coast MRT line appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 January 2008, and was viewed approximately 1,433 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that through the opening of the Thomson MRT Line and Eastern Region MRT Line by 2020, Singapore's rail network density will rise from 31 km per million residents today to 51 km per million, surpassing what Hong Kong and Tokyo currently have?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/January.

Transfer Stations

The masterplan map, here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Singapore_mrt_lrt_map_future_version4.png shows this line with only two transfer locations which are at the two ends. The line crosses half the island and intersects with four other lines. It seems insane that they would plan this and not include a few transfers to those lines that are being crossed. If indeed the only way to get on this line is to transfer onto it from one of its ends, then it will be a pain to use and an undesirable place to live if you want to be able to get places quickly via the MRT.

I realize this line is still being studied, but the map has some serious dissapointments in it if changes are not made. This article mentions the Eastern Region Line having 12 stations. I only see eight listed on the map.

Would it be possible to get a list of those stations on this article?

Also, how will it be linked to the Thomson Line? Will the trains go straight through or will passengers have to switch trains? I understand that these two lines need to be referred to separately because they are being built as two separate projects, but it would make sense to treat them as one line operationally? Is one an extension of the other or are they really two completely different lines requiring a greater infrastructure cost and usage hassle at Marina Bay?

The "masterplan map" u linked above is not an official map. It is the creation of rail fans on wikipedia. Transfer locations for the line have not yet been announced by the transport planners in Singapore. The same can be said of the station locations, thus non of the station names are being listed on the article as they cannot be reliably sourced. As to how it would be linked to the Thomson MRT Line, your guess is as good as mine. Whether they would operate as 2 different systems or just simply be an "extension" of each other would not be known until more details are released in the future. What we do know for sure now, is that these are officially 2 separate lines and thus the 2 separate articles. :) - oahiyeel ^talk 06:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

changi airport

can we listed it as a confirmed interchange station as per this map? -220.255.2.56 (talk) 15:34, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Four-in-one train and bus depot?

In Stage 5 (2024):

What is a "four-in-one train and bus depot"? It looks from the article that the depot will house two modes, rail and bus. Even if there are three rail lines supported, that would not be separate modes, unless the rail systems are incompatible with one another. Please clarify.

If I'm not wrong it would house trains from the EWL (6 cars), DTL (3 cars), and TEL (4 cars) and therefore are not compatible with one another. Hope this answers your question. 1.02 editor (talk) 09:28, 28 September 2017 (UTC) 1.02 editor (talk) 09:28, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Signalling

It states in the article that the line is going to be using Alstom Urbalis 400 signalling. However, the sources listed state that the contract was given to GE Transportation, which, as stated, was going to supply its Tempo signalling system, and I have found no reliable sources supporting the claim the article makes. As GE Transportation sold its signalling division to Alstom in 2015, the signalling would be supplied by Alstom, but where can it be found that it is the Urbalis 400 signalling? Please explain.

The Shell stations

Should we mention the shell stations? unlike DT4, there is no station code reserved for them. However, the recently updated official LTA map (accidentally?) showed one of the shell station as TE22A Gardens Bay East. In this case, should we also include the other shell station (presumably TE4A)?

For NS6, NE2 and DT4, we do not list the name because these names were never announced (NS6 might have been named in an old newspaper in the 90s but this is not confirmed). However, for TE4A, the LTA contracts refer to the station as TGR. The signs by LTA uses Tagora (there is no name used for DT4 during construction based on Google Maps, Hume is only shown in concept arts). So technically there is a name for the station (like Bukit Brown). Thoughts? -115.66.196.146 (talk) 15:27, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, about TE22A, its official name for the code, is Founder's Memorial. Thanks 115.066.196.146!

Rolling Stock

There is no section on the CT251 on the article and it needs to be added thanks (sorry I have no time to do it myself). 1.02 editor (C651 set 217/218) 11:48, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
