I think you're thinking too much. They're closing the circle at Promenade.
There is a possibility for Thomson Line and Eastern Region Line to be linked actually, judging from the sketches seen in the papers and on the news. Maybe it could be like DTL where actually 3 seperate lines were planned.
Yeah, closing the circle at Promenade is true [Phase 1], but that would have finished long ago (Compared to speculated Harbourfront - Marina Bay sector [Speculated Phase 2])
I dont disagree on merging TSL and ERL. However, it might not possible as there is another thread on at least 5 lines in Marina Bay. (And I have analyzed which are the 5 lines and where are the 6 stations located.)
PS: Personally, I am fond of researching on track diagrams and sort of, so more comment on my speculation leh. (Or I feel too bored, no -- Not flame wars)

Sorry, not all people who work in Alstom are french.
[EDIT] Example: You think people in Alstom only speaks French, and people in Kawasaki only speaks French, then I would say that you think people in McDonalds speak Mad Cow language (no offence intended, pun intended)

Epic fail la. 10 can also mean NS10, Admiratly (Also can go and die, since a suicide case in 2006) or NS12 -- eh, no such station exist or CC10 (MacPherson) and CC12 (Bartley) or NE10 (Potong Pasir) or NE12 (Serangoon) and Segar (BP10) , Jelapang (BP12)
BTW, go to 4, can means Jurong East (4 as terminus), Tanah Merah (EW4), Chinatown (NE4) , Choa Chu Kang (NS4), Teck Whye (BP4) , Promendae (CC4)

Ok, after some thoughts by Flip's comment, I have another conclusion on Paya Lebar:
Since he said he know someone who is involved in CCL project, and I can only say that the reason for hitting the middle track into coffin (It is a DEAD end what, so die liao = coffin) is like this:
Event 1: The LTA decided to build CCL Stage 2, with a provision to link ERL / extension to Marine Parade (The lack of interchange in ERL except CGA and Marina Areas is kind of AEL in HK MTR).
Event 2: Nicoll Highway collapsed. All construction work was halted for checks. Well, this had happened to force the people in Hock Kee Building to move out within 1 month and caused some unhappiness. (Of course, where can they reside in? Parks?)
Event 3: The LTA internally is discussing the track's fate
Event 4: Since the building is 'sinking' as shown on Event 2, so it means it has a soft soil. And thus, they have to bear the pain to kill their loved / lovely track into coffin. But, wait, by then it is like pregnant for 4 ~ 5 months le, cannot abort! So leave it but "with some abnormalities".
So this is the ultimate fate of the middle platform in Paya Lebar, unless a cure to soft soil in underground is found.
By the way, isnt Marine Parade a reclamied area, how hard soil can it be?
Addon after a discussion with flip via MSN: There is another possibility that the middle track will be connected back to the main line (Just like Ang Mo Kio, this is like half of AMK), but due to the Event 2 above, they have no choice to halt it. (Just swee that the direction to the "sinking building" is in the direction of dead end)
When I say another possibility, it means a possible scenario. Right now, Paya Lebar CCL is very similiar to Jurong East before JEMP and minus the above ground & CCK Branch Line / North South Line after Woodlands Extension era. So it means the original plan could have at least 3 types of scenarios as listed (Link to ERL, plain simple connect back to both ends of tracks, or both).

To say that your phrase cannot work.
BTW I have found an article on soft soil tunnel construction, I admit it is on China, and thus it should be more on International Railways, but there is no discussion of soft soil issue and here did, so may the experts here try to understand that and see if that is possible to apply in Singapore on soft soil areas. (I believe Singapore is technically capable enough to do it, unless they dont have the funds like certain sports project or lack of demands etc)

Dig under the DBG bound track without affecting operations? Thats risky

LOL. Thats weird!

Some NEL trains have VPIS programmed such that they scrolls everything. When the next station is a terminus, they will show eg. "Next Station, HarbourFront Terminal. All passengers please alight at the next station. Thank you for travelling with SBS Transit." One example is 003/004 on the NEL.

HarbourFront one see before. Punggol one never. Wonder how it will look like?
Anyway, train 013/014(NEL) played: '(Unclear Chime) Please do not eat or drink onboard our train premissed. Thanks you for your coperation.......' which replaces Chinatown arrival annoucement.

Is this true?
Yes - It should be Dhoby Ghaut Interchange. Identify train set.
No - Go chatbox
