The Circle Line
Tagging this in my little crib category.
I read with interest with the new stations that will be opened in a couple months.
I relooked the whole network. Here is how it looks like on the MRT rail network-
Here is a closer look @ the circle line itself. I thought they said it will be done by end of this year. Now they said next year. Did they think I did not observe? I have been watching it like a hawk. Perhaps what they meant was, it will be completed by end of this year, but does not imply it will open then I have already noticed they have errected the station platform that’s on my side of the road. Right in front of my block actually. The other one across the road has been up for a while.
But on closer look I have detected interesting places which I think we may be visiting quite often. There are also some that are of key interest to me.. and my house mates hopefully.
- Promenade (opening in april) which is at Suntec
- Old airport road hawker centre! Also opening in April
- Holland V
- NUS
Sounds good right?
The problem is, the line begins from Harbourfront to Dhoby Ghaut. Going to harbourfront is fine, as it heads from Farrer to Harbourfront via buona vista, Kent ridge, labrador park. To get to promenade, you will have to go via marymount, bishan, bartley, paya lebar, dakota. This means u gotta go one big round and it might be far simpler to go by bus from Farrer still.
It is also apparently a 3 car per train network. Based on trending, they opened station last May. This year it is in April. Will mine be March next year??
