1.1m is for a 3 bedder? Since launch price, what's the upside? 100%? (Gasp)Originally Posted by rattydrama

When you see the devil here, you know he's prowling...
Any good deals will be snapped up by him before you even get to smell it...
Go for Smallest Unit
Good buys along the reported mrt lines....
Go back 6 mths and u have found a gem
Go forward 6 mtgs and u have found a higher price
All know Liao, where to find cheap?

I thought the line is supposed to pass through Sin Ming, Kebun Baru before hitting Tagore & then Springleaf, Mandai etc. by going along the back of Tagore, won't that be like a huge detour? why should it loop around to the back of Tagore? and who's going to be around the back of Tagore to use the station? any reason for that particular speculation? is it coz they need to avoid going too close to the reservoir in case it springs a mega leak that no plumber is able to plug?

That was what I heard too…hitting the Teacher estate aka tagore and springleaf, Mandai..
One more thing, aft Mandai and hit to woodlands is too long or ‘wasteful’ cutting thru the forested area. Therefore some even spectacled that it may pass Cheong Pang (population density is there) then to woodland. Almost like the NS expressway.
As said …., it every body guess..
Hee hee…mega leak they don call plumber la.. properly they call Mata....LOL

When they announce the stations at Tagore and Springleaf, then Meadows and Forest Hills will go up further - even if the extact station spot is not known. Because no matter what the MRT entrance will not be more than 300m away.
And yes, possbility of cutting through Chong Pang because of critical mass and to coincide with NSE construction - after all, they can kill 2 birds with one stone.
Bricks & Mortar
Quite logical reasoning that MRT line may mirror NSE, and station need to be in place where there is critical population/density. Even if now dun have, when line open, it will skip that station unless population develop in short term, if not white elephant.. Think look at URA master plan for reserve site along the way which are in high population density area for MRT stations
Bricks & Mortar
I do believe that they will try to locate MRT station where there are HDB flats nearby 1st as top priority...or upcoming HDB flats under development...cater to masses.....
Go for Smallest Unit
Likely to follow NS expressway. Two layers. One on top and one below for certain parts. MRT have to go through HDB or catch HDB folks.
Junior
If it is to pass by Chong Pang, the MRT likely to be underground, the expressway had already taken the open ground(viaduct)
And also make sense that tunnel for MRT is more economic then a tunnel for expressway.
Junior
The expressway via duct height is limited by the copter flight path, and also need to maintains certain height below (4.5m ? ), so it may be a constraint to construct 2 layers.

What about this?

Yee ha! Did I tickle your funny bone?
Emeritus Senior
yeah it's already announced that entire TSL will be underground
Junior
from the graphic, it look cut thru the forested area...how ever considering the population density,... it still every body guess

Thomson line was never supposed to connect with Yishun at all. The whole idea of thomson line was to have an MRT line that is faster for woodlands so as to divert some of the traffic away from NS line.
Skyscraper forum has people with detailed information about soil investigation and tender documents for TSL.
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showth...574137&page=44
I would say it is 90% likely that the thomson line will not connect with Yishun.
Go for Smallest Unit
Divert Yishun Traffic from Woodlands interchange.
The track can run below via duct.
Junior
i give certain credit for the almost close accuracy for the ns-expressway...
As mentioned, is all about conjuncture at this stage..

From your description, I think you are believing the line is running beneath AMK Ave 2. The west of Ave 2 is low density landed properties, while the east is CHIJ St Nic. HDB dwellers are rather low along this route, hence it is not a viable route for Thomson line. A better route is AMK Ave 4; more AMK residence will benefit.I thought the line is supposed to pass through Sin Ming, Kebun Baru before hitting Tagore & then Springleaf, Mandai etc. by going along the back of Tagore, won't that be like a huge detour? why should it loop around to the back of Tagore? and who's going to be around the back of Tagore to use the station? any reason for that particular speculation? is it coz they need to avoid going too close to the reservoir in case it springs a mega leak that no plumber is able to plug?

hmm that would a waste...unless they plan to make Mandai into the next Punggol soon
else makes more sense to serve high-density residential areas like Chong Pang (while not crossing over into Yishun since it will still be along Sembawang Road)
Then after Chong Pang cut into Gambas and run along woodlands ave 12 (which is relatively empty) and connect to Woodlands Interchange
Else cutting through Mandai is a lot tougher (and the zoo residents will complain cos the big cats need their sleep and the giraffes want their unblocked clear view)

saw the an other indicative map before somewhere too...nonethless, let wait for the news..hmm that would a waste...unless they plan to make Mandai into the next Punggol soon

he he..properly the zoo residents will put up fire sale soon...watchout...

It will never cut through nature reserve.
Junior
under the ground la..
Go for Smallest Unit
u must be joking.. heli copter... can clear seletaris .. via duct higher than seletaris?
two layers can be like this.
Top
Normal road
Underground...
sandwich or burger for u... water pipes and cables can run along under the MRT tracks or above it.
Go for Smallest Unit
Why not? clear the nature reserve or resize it.
Emeritus Senior
There is a reason why it's called nature 'reserve' in the first place

Agree, tis will not happen, WWF group will be up in arms if this happens, their complaints even louder than residents. Cannot cut thru and disturb nature reserveThere is a reason why it's called nature 'reserve' in the first place

errr... BKE already cut through nature reserve. Nobody made any noise

Seletar reservoir area, Mandai is water catchment, zoo and also SAF training area, how can they disturb this. Not logical to cut thru there. Time will tell.
