I do get a sense that they may very well finish ahead of time?

Ahead of time, I don't know, however tunneling wise, a major milestone will be achieved soon smile.gif

Very soon, Semantan 1 tunnel boring machine will reach KL Sentral station box biggrin.gif

In the northern part of the line, more piers can be seen around Kota Damansara now.

Can't wait for it to finish. Its been long overdue. Hopefully it will ease the jam and the over-reliance on LRT & Monorail in the long run.

Not just it relieves over-reliance on LRT and monorail, ultimately this line will serve areas where there is no rail at all (i.e Damansara).

The beautiful thing about this line is that there might be some extra services which do not serve the whole line. That means frequency can be varied between different parts of the line.

Some MRT stations may have 3 tracks.

Woah... 3 tracks? As in functioning like a commuter or maybe an express line?

No, it is like this.

Case 1: Singapore North-South Line

The whole line is from Jurong East (NS 1) to Marina Bay (NS 27).

In Ang Mo Kio station (NS 16), they have 3 tracks, such as this...

The extra track, they used it to launch more frequent 'Lunch Time Xpress' during lunch hours from Ang Mo Kio to Marina Bay.

Oh... That.... That would be very useful.
