The answer is Novena, but the exit in the photo should be the one near Thomson Rd. I don't remember seeing any overhead bridge outside the exit to TTSH. -

Last time the NSL went only to Yishun, and the branch line from EWL starts from JUR to CCK. Then there's this WDL extension, connect CCK to YIS, then JUR to MRB become NSL.

Got picture of how last time, MRT carriages were not crowded during peak periods.
But now, it's like packed like sardines?

I remembered that when the branch line to Choa Chu Kang opened, the colour code was not green and blue but brown and orange instead.From Jurong East to Choa Chu Kang: Orange
From Choa Chu Kang to Jurong East: Brown
Now, orange is used again, for the Circle Line.

Construction of the East-West and North-South line was no easy task. The tunneling work is an challenging task, cause before the tunnel can be built. The road have to be diverted to allow the construction of the tunnel and a very deep trench was excavated. The construction method for the tunnel was cut and cover.
Now, by using a TBM(Tunnel Boring Machine) it help to simplify the task.

The most difficult were Raffles Place - City Hall that cross under the Singapore River and Raffles Place - Marina Bay that cross under the bay (later that part of the bay was reclaimed).NEL between Hougang and Punggol used the cut-and-cover method.

Cut-And-Over method?
How does it works? -
Last time the announcement was 'ting tong.. ting tong.. ting tong' without the 'doors are closing' and the 'toot toot toot toot toot'
