CCL Extension - Downtown Extension

Wat about from Farrer to Adam, Bukit Brown..... ? These are all duplications...Originally posted by tranquilice:Service 93 doesn't duplicates CCL fully. The service only duplicates CCL between Upp Paya Lebar and Bartley stations, and between HarbourFront and Alexandra stations. I hope it will not be withdrawn, the most it gets amend.
From Clementi, service 165 provides a direct link to Upp Thomson which is not served by CCL, and is faster than taking service 166.
From U.P.L to Bartley
Bt. Brown to Farrer
Alexandra to Harbourfront...
datz a lot of copyin.....
93 surely out of the game.... very hard to ammend...
u will never noe wat the LTA is capable of... -
Many people would say that 93 would be withdrawn...But if it is withdrawn, some people may complain and I dun think 93 is duplicating the whole circle line right? An amendment will do (or shortening). By withdrawing 93, it is a similar case to withdrawing 85. 85 did not duplicate the whole of NEL, it did not ply Chinatown, etc. But was withdrawn as it plied majority of NEL stations.Originally posted by muziq bus:Wat about from Farrer to Adam, Bukit Brown..... ?

SMRT gets to run Circle Line, 93 and 165 are operated by SBST. SBST will still keep these 2 lines.Originally posted by 5454:i hope SBST don't withdraw service 93 and 165.
Hougang, AMK, Upper Thomson, Ulu Pandan are not served by Circle Line. If SBST withdraw 165 (unless otherwise ordered by LTA), they lose the competition with SMRT. Same goes to 93, it can be stayed, to fill up the pockets left out by Circle Line.
Another route we should concerned is 24. Besides AMK Ave 1, Boundary Rd, parts of Upper Paya Lebar Rd, parts of New Upper Changi Rd, it is duplicating with North South Line, Circle Line and East West Line. -
Farrer Park seems to have many exits and it has large plots of vacant land. i believe Farrer Park is built as an interchange in mind. after all, tunnelling could go under Kg Java, Owen and Rangoon Rd to reach Farrer Park, which seems to complete tis picture quite nicely.Originally posted by tranquilice:From the terminating point at Millenia, BTL most likely has to intersect with EWL Bugis station by following Rochor Rd, and since Bugis and Little India stations are not that far, it doesn't make sense to "divert" BTL to Farrer Park and back to NSL Newton station. Most probably BTL will follow the alignment of Bt Timah Rd/Dunearn Rd.
the vacant land around Little India makes it seem too crowded to have an interchange there, imo. -
Remember Tibs 106 was shortened due to NEL? NEL is operated by SBST. Yep, SMRT operates Circle Line, same concept applies to 93 and 165. Although they duplicated some stations, doesn't mean it is bound to be withdrawn. They will defintiely be amended or shortened.Originally posted by PJ_Quek:SMRT gets to run Circle Line, 93 and 165 are operated by SBST. SBST will still keep these 2 lines.

24, of course, it is going to be affected. Likewise for 22 too. Some services that plies between serangoon and Paya Lebar area will be affected. -

Don't chop 165. It provides a direct connection from Clementi to Upper Thomson/AMK/HGN. Faster than 166 or 147.

As for 24, there may be minor amendments. Whatever the case, the CCL anchor has to be svc 70. -
They still need to think about folks & senior citizens who prefer to take buses than trains along this sectors,IMO 2 or 3 services duplicating the CCL Will stayed as i don't think that CCL operates until 11.45pm beyond right?

That reminded me of 70 and 158 as well. 158 would be duplicated from Serangoon until MacPherson, and 70 would be duplicated from Serangoon until Paya Lebar at least.Originally posted by iveco:Don't chop 165.

158 serves an important link between Serangoon Int and Serangoon Ave 1Originally posted by PJ_Quek:That reminded me of 70 and 158 as well. 158 would be duplicated from Serangoon until MacPherson.
Also, Tanjong Rhu residents also needs 158

Don't forget Svc 70 also plies Nicoll Highway.Originally posted by PJ_Quek:That reminded me of 70 and 158 as well. 158 would be duplicated from Serangoon until MacPherson, and 70 would be duplicated from Serangoon until Paya Lebar at least. -
Future 158 amended after Circle Line fully operating could be plying only between Tanjung Rhu and Geylang Lor 1.Originally posted by 105090:158 serves an important link between Serangoon Int and Serangoon Ave 1

This possibility has been mentioned by me in an old thread.Originally posted by PJ_Quek:Future 158 amended after Circle Line fully operating could be plying only between Tanjung Rhu and Geylang Lor 1. -
My enquiry to LTA:
Subject: MRT Circle Line Stage 6 and Eastern Region Line
Reply from LTA:
On 14 June 2005, LTA announced the plan to build MRT Downtown Extension (DTE). Is DTE the replacement for Circle Line (CCL) Stage 6 which connects HarbourFront to Millenia via Downtown at Marina Bay? If it isn''t, will CCL Stage 6 still be build in the future?
On the DTE location map, it shows that one end of Eastern Region Line (ERL) will terminates at Chinatown station. From my knowledge, the route of ERL will be in the eastern area, so why does one end of ERL terminates at Chinatown which is at the southern area? Also, will ERL be using trains from CCL Kim Chuan depot or will ERL has a depot on its own?
I thank you for your precious time taken to answer my enquiries.
MRT CIRCLE LINE STAGE 6 AND EASTERN REGION LINE
FEEDBACK NUMBER: 256157
Thank you for your feedback of 17-JUN-2005.
The Downtown Extension (DTE) is currently envisaged as a part of the Circle Line (CCL) with provisions for future extensions to the future Bukit Timah Line and the Eastern Region Line. As illustrated in the map by The Straits Times (Wednesday, 15 June 2005), these future lines are planned to be extended towards the northwest and eastern regions of Singapore, respectively.
The proposal is to extend the DTE towards the east from Chinatown Station in order to link with CCL MacPherson Station and Kim Chuan Depot. This would also allow DTE and future extensions of this line access to Kim Chuan Depot.
Given the current pace of development in the central area, CCL Stage 6 will only be needed in the longer term to support developments in south-western central area.
Thank you for your interest in rail transportation in Singapore.
Yours sincerely,

It's like making a big detour when actually it can go on a straight route.Originally posted by ^tamago^:Farrer Park seems to have many exits and it has large plots of vacant land. i believe Farrer Park is built as an interchange in mind. after all, tunnelling could go under Kg Java, Owen and Rangoon Rd to reach Farrer Park, which seems to complete tis picture quite nicely.

If i am not wrong, bt brown and adam mrt will not be opened that early.... like woodleigh and buangkok like that.... so should not affect the bus routes...
