Darthrevan Supercharged June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 An additional station will be built between Yishun and Sembawang on the North-South Line, and it will be known as Canberra station, said Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew on Friday (June 27). He said the feasibility study has been completed, and the Land Transport Authority will provide more details on it later. Mr Lui was speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Thomson Line, which will be opened in three phases in 2019, 2020 and 2021. When fully opened, the line will bring an additional 60 per cent capacity to the North-South corridor, he said. When fully completed in 2021, the Thomson Line will have 22 stations, including six interchanges. The line will see a projected daily ridership of about 400,000 commuters, and will serve several housing estates in the north and central areas – including Woodlands, Sin Ming, Thomson and Kim Seng – and connect them to the city and the rest of the MRT network. The 30km-long line will also be eventually linked to Johor Bahru in Malaysia, he said. Apart from the new line, Mr Lui also spoke about the planned expansions to the existing rail network – the West Loop of the Punggol LRT, which will open on Sunday (June 29); the North-South Line Extension, which will open later this year; the Tuas West Extension, which will open in 2016; and the Downtown Line, which will be fully opened in 2017.

13177 Supersonic June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 The new Canberra station will be on new Thomson line or on the existing NS line? On existing NS line. You should have notice between Yishun and Sembawang station, there is a jump on the station numbering long ago. This is to plan for additional of a MRT station between these two station. Actually apart from this line. There should be an additional station being build in future between Kranji and Yew Tee MRT station, also a jump of station numbering. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaints on this, as long as it serve the community :) That area currently no housing, only one small industrial area. But there are many coming BTO flats being build on that land, so the station will benefit those people who will stay there 3-4 years later. Woo, thanks for pointing out the jumped numbering in the MRT stations. I never know about that :) Nice trivial. Maybe you don't take trains? Lol.
