Downtown Line 3 Aligment
-
I still prefer uniformity. They should have something similar to the Kawasaki trains.

but if common sense is used can surely tell that SMRT will be operating the DTL since DTL will also be served partly by the Kim Chuan Depot and the Kim Chuan Depot is also used to serve CCL, which the tender to operate is won by SMRT.

There is still the tender to go through.
DTL3 seems like it'll be slightly delayed...

Nope. It's not necessary that the company that operate CCL will operate DTL. While it will be most convenient for the operators of both lines to be the same, nothing is there to imply the impossibility of having different operators under the same roof at KCD, serving 2 separate lines... :) -

Bombardier is a Canadian company. I prefer Japan-brand trains though.

You are obviously not answering the question... -
It appears that not everyone here is a Japanese train model enthusiast. If it was, we could even petition to have all future lines to have rolling stock of Japanese origin. I do know of one dissident who dislikes the MRT lines because the rolling stock is Japanese.

Anyone has any idea which company was awarded the contract for the DTL depot @ Sungei Kadut?

DTL depot @ Kadut? Might as well start the train services from there and build it close to NSL. The future NS5 station can double as interchange. -

C911 Not awarded yet.

Didn't know there were graves in the area.

The carpark beside Bugis junction, opposite Parkview Square at North Bridge Road has been closed since the first for the DTL...
Oppo Clarke Quay station also has some digging there for the DTL I think... o.o
-
Downtown Line will most probably be fully underground although it is not confirmed.

40 Alstom Metropolis C830 train sets for Circle Line. -

Hi, I came across this very interesting discussion while reading about the Downtown Line.
Since Quarry Park and Temasek have been named, perhaps the stations will be located next to Quarry Park and Temasek Poly?
Taking into consideration the space required and arterial roads, I guess it may turn out like this. any comments anyone?

This won't work, the sharp edges at the Quarry Park will cause the train to "break into two"

oahiyeel is correct. Although KCD was built to accomodate CCL and DTL, but the current facilities at KCD control centre is meant for CCL, and not for DTL. The portion of tracks for CCL is not linked to the portion for DTL.
