1 track, 2 platforms. The train pulls into the station and allows passengers to alight in platform a. The doors facing platform a then closes, and the doors facing platform b open to allow passengers to board.

Two platforms are placed on either side of each track: one for boarding and one for disembarking.

Nope. Its Like The NEL at Habourfront During Peak Hour Some Random time.

Platform B Will Be DNB and will allow Passengers to alight, Den the Train Goes Off, Cross over and turn back into Platform A and allow passengers to board.

I'm confused now...:)

So this is what I figure out how it should be...

*Train arrives at xxx MRT station--has 2 platforms for each track like the one I show you*

"Passengers who are alighting this station, please alight at the right side of the train"

*Doors open on right*

*Passengers then alight*

*Doors close on right*

*Doors open on left*

*Passengers enter*

*Train leaves*

For jurong east...

*Train arrives at jurong east MRT station*

"Passengers who are alighting this station, please climb out of the roof of the train"

*Roof pops out*

*Passengers then climb out*

Spanish solution: The train opens its doors on one side, then unloads its passengers, thereafter it close that door, and opens the opposite doors for embarkation.

An example is the Sentosa (Sentosa Express) station.

I'm going to delete that right now. Granted, the stations can be used as Spanish Solution stations, but they aren't.

*Train about 150m from Clementi MRT station*

"Clementi"

"Passengers who are alighting at this station, please use the doors at the RIGHT! DO NNOOOOTT USE THE DOORS ON THE LEFT!! THEY ARE FOR PEOPLE BOARDING THE TRAIN!! I REPEEAAT, use the doors at the RIGHT! DO NNOOOOTT USE THE DOORS ON THE LEFT!!"

*Trains arrives and stop*

"Clementi"

*Doors open on the left and right; passengers leave through the right door; passengers enter through left door*

"Doors are closing...tititititi"

*Doors close*

*Train leaves station*

Not feasible, exisiting NSL track already has HHPSDs.

Yes, but can't they just remove the HHPSD, put them at the new platform and cover up the existing track?
