  Nope. An exercise was done at Braddell Station before. Trains did not stop at the station for the duration of the excercise. Some underground stations double-up as SCDF shelters, hence an excercise is needed once in a while for the SCDF MRT Shelter Companies.

  Marina Bay service can have a frequency of 1 hour . I expect TIBS buses to be used for this service.

  Pls lah, don't say that Woodleigh station has hantus! In fact within 8 years HDB flats would be built on the Cemetary and the Creatorium. Who knows we might be staying there in the future?

  With Woodleigh NEL Station opening, I expect readers to contribute their ghost stories to TSGS Part 13(?) about hauntings of the station. By then, people would have forgotten that Bishan & Novena was once the most haunted MRT stations in Singapore.
  
  Cheers and warm regards
