Marine Parade station under contract T307, appears to be the slowest moving among all the 7 stations under the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) phase 4 that will be operational next year. That said, the station is definitely not on the level of completion that Great World station along TEL3 was in the months and weeks leading up to that section's opening.

Moving along eastwards, the next station along the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) is Tanjong Katong. The station is located at the intersection of Meyer Road & Tanjong Katong Road South with 3 exits. Exit A is located directly in front of the Aalto condominium, Exit B along Tanjong Katong Road South & Exit C at the intersection of the two roads. The station's exits feature a beige cladding, consistent with the stone influences of other stations designed by DP Architects under contract E1003 - Tanjong Rhu & Katong Park.

Katong Park is the next station on our quarter 1 update for the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). Like other stations along this sector, there is noticeable progress with cladding now visible at Exit 2 and also on the ventilation building/cooling tower. Take a look after the jump for more photos!

We are back for your regular dose of Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) Thursdays. Hope your week has been good just as the progress has been steady on stage 4 of the line. This time, we're over at Tanjong Rhu to check things out as of Q1 2023. Did you know that contract T303 also includes the construction of the 66kV substation? This provides power supply for the line and enables the trains to receive power so that they can move from station to station. Typically such substations are located within depot sites but occasionally, additional support is required along the line.
Marine Terrace station will have 6 exits - all of which are at various stages of construction. Exit A and B are located right in the centre of the station, with Exit A being located along the westbound Marine Parade Road and Exit B directly opposite, along the eastbound Marine Parade Road. Exits C and D are likewise situated across from each other at the eastern end. This brings us to Exits E and F, similarly located opposite each other but on the western end of the station.
