SINGAPORE-JB LINK TO BE INTEGRATED WITH NEW LINE
The proposed Rapid Transit System link between Singapore and Malaysia's southern city of Johor Bahru will be integrated with the upcoming Thompson Line, which will be completely automatic and underground.
The point of integration will be the northernmost terminal station now being planned for the Thompson Line, the Singapore Land Transport Authority said Thursday.
The authority said in a statement that the site for the Thompson Line depot was gazetted today after extensive engineering studies.
The depot will house the operations control centre and provide stabling and maintenance facilities for Thomson Line trains. Construction of the depot is due to start at the end of 2012.
The authority said the Thompson Line, the sixth mass rapid transit line in Singapore, is part of plans to develop a comprehensive rail network system to meet future travel needs.
