Yea, that's what they were aiming for. I think Promenade & Bugis did a good job of integrating the art in. The other stations, and especially most of the Circle Line stations failed though, relegating it to one side, wall or section of the station unlike the North-East Line where it is fully integrated in.

Dynamic Testing of a Downtown Line Train
Updated about a week ago

Once the static tests are complete, our new Downtown Line train undergoes dynamic testing on the test track. Here, many of the train functions such as traction and braking are validated.

Each train undergoes further tests when they arrive in #Singapore to ensure that there’s it is in tip top condition even after shipment and road transportation.

Celebrating a lot of breakthroughs now on the Downtown Line. Looks like the TBM for one contract on stage 3 broke through today.

Another had broken through last week to another station.

Several weeks before, the Fort Canning TBM broke through to the Chinatown shaft.

For stage 2, only 2 tunnels are left. One TBM is 9 rings from breakthrough. Another will complete its drive of about 200m remaining in roughly 3 weeks time.

Sounds good, especially for Stage 2 which had been affected by Alpine Bau bankruptcy smile.gif

From what we know, all stations are on target to finish works by July-2015 save the Alpine 3. These stations will only finish works by January-2016. Otherwise, the line is pretty much good to go in 2015, just for the nuisance of Alpine.

All tunneling on DTL2 is completed. The final TBM brokethrough into Sixth Avenue station yesterday. So this marks the completion of all tunnels linking Gali Batu depot to Bugis.
