新加坡东海岸地铁线九年后通车 每天载客将达100万
2014年08月16日 08:49:24 　来源： 新华网新加坡频道



新加坡地铁“汤申—东海岸线”（Thomson-East Coast Line，简称汤东线，或TEL）示意图。（联合早报供图）

据新加坡《联合早报》8月16日报道，新加坡东部居民从2023年起可以乘搭新地铁线，更快抵达市区和北部地区。新加坡原名为东区线（Eastern Region Line）的地铁线路因为与建造中的汤申线连成一线，因此将统称为“汤申—东海岸线”（Thomson-East Coast Line，简称汤东线，或TEL）。

　　汤东线启用后，乘客从东海岸到乌节路所需时间将从目前的75分钟（搭巴士）减至45分钟（搭地铁）。要到兀兰的共和理工学院上课的学生，目前搭巴士上学须花上1小时20分钟，日后搭地铁则可以节省20分钟。

　　新加坡交通部长吕德耀昨天宣布汤东线详情时指出，北部乘客日后不用转换列车就可直达东部。目前，乘客从北部前往东部必须到市区转换东西线。

　　全线建于地底的汤东线是新加坡第六条地铁线，除了之前已展开施工的原汤申线22个地铁站，吕德耀昨天也公开了剩余九个将服务东部居民的新地铁站。新地铁站的建造工程2016年展开，七个比较靠近市区的地铁站将于2023年投入服务，其余新站和新车厂则在2024年启用。东区的线路预计耗资68亿新元（1新元约合4.8元人民币），使整条汤东线的建造预算达到240亿新元。

　　全长43公里的汤东线共有31个地铁站，其中七个是转换站，使乘客能够转搭所有其他地铁线路。汤东线在启用初期预计每天服务50万名乘客，之后每天运载可多达100万名乘客。

　　吕德耀指出，滨海市区线第三阶段延长线将在2017年通车，因此采用五门以及四节车厢列车设计的汤东线建成后，东部往西部的地铁载客量将再增加45%。

　　新加坡陆路交通管理局局长周福荣接受采访时时表示，汤东线的经营模式与滨海市区线相同，陆交局将持有营运资产和基础设施的所有权，获得汤东线经营权的业者将每年缴付一笔执照费，经营期限达15年。在这个新地铁线资助架构下，SMRT与新捷运公司以外的任何新业者也有望竞标获得汤东线经营权。

　　周福荣还说，新加坡当局不排除在滨海湾花园站及丹戎禺站之间增建一个地铁站，以及日后把汤东线延伸至樟宜机场第五航站楼。第五航站楼预计2025年左右竣工。

　　新加坡陆交局将在汤东线首次兴建地下自行车停车处，建有这个设施的是马林百列站、马林台站、碧湾站和双溪勿洛站。此外，为了提高出入地铁站的便利，陆交局还采用了有更多出入口的地铁站设计。

　　陆交局昨天公布的地铁站名为施工期的暂定站名，明年陆交局将举行公众命名活动。

MRT boost for new East Coast condo
Sep 18, 2014

A new freehold condominium along Upper East Coast Road in District 15 is expected to launch soon, after its recently concluded VVIP preview attracted a good response.
The showflat for 70 St Patrick’s by UOL Group has seen many potential buyers in the past few days, said one property agent.
Although the developer declined to give an official launch date, marketing materials distributed by agents said the project is still pending approval for sale.
70 St Patrick’s will comprise 186 two- to four-bedroom units and penthouses. Sizes range from 700 sq ft to 1,647 sq ft.
Indicative prices start from about $1.2 million for a two-bedroom, while the lowest price for a penthouse is approximately $1.5 million.
Other residential developments nearby include Grand Duchess at St Patrick’s and St Patrick’s Residences, which have median psf prices of $1,433 and $1,327 respectively.
Developed on the site of the former St Patrick’s Garden, the low-rise 70 St Patrick’s will be located next to Marine Terrace MRT station on the future East Coast Line. Tao Nan School, Victoria Junior College and shopping malls such as Parkway Parade and 112 Katong are also close by.
In addition, residents will have easy access to the city centre and Changi Airport via the ECP and MCE.
Notably, the East Coast Line is set to be fully operational by 2024 and will drive the region’s property market, revealed OrangeTee recently.
The report noted that properties within proximity of the new MRT stations are expected to see improved rentals, in turn leading to potential capital growth.
“In our view, residential developments in the vicinity will likely see five to ten percent capital gains,” said UOB Kay Hian analyst Vikrant Pandey in a media report.
OrangeTee added: “For a long time, residents in the East Coast have been relying on buses or private transport. With a new MRT line nearby, travelling time to the CBD or the northern part of Singapore will be shortened significantly.”
Meanwhile, analysts expect sales of new private homes to improve in September on the back of some highly-anticipated upcoming launches, which includes 70 St Patrick’s.
“Developers are also likely to intensify efforts to launch projects with attractive offers to boost sales performance in view of a traditionally quiet year-end period ahead,” said Alice Tan, Research Head at Knight Frank Singapore.
70 St Patrick’s is expected to be completed in 2017.

The impact of the new MRT would have been great during boom time when there are healthy buying and selling activities. With this ERL announcement, I expect resale transaction volume to drop because of the increasing gap between seller and buyer expectation because no one is going to pay a premium for convenience which wont be available till 10 years later, and no one wil be willing to sell cheap when they know there is going to be MRT station near their property.

So will this happen In jurong also?

[Ringo33]

So will this happen In jurong also?

USPs of MRT station will diminish as more and more stations are built across Singapore, however those station which are closer to commercial center will still be most sort after.

For Jurong region, there will be 2 new lines, the JRL and CRL, of which, the CRL will offer an express service which will skip certain stops to enable shorter traveling time from East to West.

Will the same happen in Jurong? It really depends on how well and quicky JLD can develop into a commercial center.

What you are saying, other areas also facing the same problem

[DC33_2008]

It is implied that JLD is immune to everything and is the best.

What is unique about ERL is that, this MRT line was announced more than 10 years ago, and its only now that they have officially announced alignment and it will take another 10 years or so to complete.

I am afraid that many investors no longer see the novelty or the potential because the USP has already been priced in over the years. Those who have bought into D15 10 years ago will realize that by the time MRT is complete, their project will be 20 to 30 years old. perhaps time for en bloc.

Another thing to consider of course is the future land reclamation along East Coast. Could happen within the next 10 years.

JLD is gold standard for property investment at the moment, because it is still relatively cheap and he has got a 15 to 20 years growth story to support the price momentum.

No property in Singapore is immune to shock and cooling measures but as investors, you will be wise to put your money in a region that has got strong fundamental (not like Sentosa) and strong rental demand.

But, let discuss about what is confirm and not speculation.
One can also say jurong will reclaim land. What is stopping from reclamation of jurong coast to expand jurong island to make it a bigger oil and gas storage
You can reclaim the land but people can also build on reclaim land also what ? No?

Land reclamation? Don't anyhow bullshit here n come out with your own story.. Nothing was ever being mentioned by the authorities n also no evidence to suggest so of any land reclamation..
U should just concentrate n stick to your boring jurong story.. yawn

What is confirmed is that Singapore government appetite for land reclamation will not stop, and they have been embarking on a massive land reclamation project in Tuas for the past 15 to 20 years, and within 5 to 10 years that reclamation project for massive tuas port will complete.

In the Singapore land use plan 2013, it has already highlighted the future land reclamation along East Coast. so this is no longer a question of will it happen, but when it will happen.

Not all land are equal, thats is why land closer to sea is more valuable.

Then just buy and sell lor, what so difficult.
Some people enjoy staying east, some enjoy staying west, some enjoy staying central
No need to defend jurong until your teeth fall off,

[DC33_2008]

Just to join in the fun. This new port is a potential hazard for your Gateway at JLD if you know the other reasons for moving it out besides releasing prime space. Good luck.
