KL --> Singapore High Speed Train
KL --> Singapore High Speed Train
Terminal to be Jurong East at the Singapore end ....
Jurong East MRT is unpleasent at the best of times with the amount of folk there swapping lines already. This should make it even better.

As of the overcrowded JE MRT, I doubt it will be there.

Otherwise how are you going to move all the people quickly who will be arrving and departing.
Or is the cross island line going to go to the new station?

Re: KL --> Singapore High Speed Train
They likely have to build a separate railway tracks for the train. I dont't think it would all fit to the current JE MRT station. Somwhere underground, or near, a bit further down South with some a monorail or other short distance linking options?
Sort of like Changi MRT.

Re: KL --> Singapore High Speed Train
I have my doubts about the Singapore government's enthusiasm for this project.
It could be a real game changer, but the problem is that the economic benefits would accrue mainly to Malaysia.
If Singapore really wanted to improve connectivity with Malaysia it would sort out the mess at the land border crossings. It hasn't, and I can only conclude it doesn't want to.

Re: KL --> Singapore High Speed Train
But 90 min to KL without all the fuss of getting to the airport/through/and back appears tempting...

Re: KL --> Singapore High Speed Train
I doubt it will link. Not even sharing the same station. My guess it that the line ends near Jurong East station with a short walk over. Probably the distance would be like how one would walk to change lines in Outram Park, Buona Vista or Paya Lebar station.
I hope they are not doing this like how Malaysia does its LRT system, where an interchange means that you have to walk really far to change the line. Just like the mess they call Masjid Jamek station.

You don't need to look up why I chose those names and just how they sound like based on what you know how they look like should be enough.

Short walks for transit is vital .... especially if it involves hundreds of folk at once.the lynx wrote:I doubt it will link. Not even sharing the same station.

We shall see what happens when the GDP numbers come under pressure.

Re: KL --> Singapore High Speed Train
Not necessary. More importan is the space to accomodate them. Again, take any airport as an example. This train is not going to be for local commuters. I would be more concerned about sufficient cabs in the area.Barnsley wrote:Short walks for transit is vital .... especially if it involves hundreds of folk at once.the lynx wrote:I doubt it will link.

Re: KL --> Singapore High Speed Train
It won't happen. MY is too poor ultimately. I'd like to see it though - in fact all the way to BBK and Yangon.

Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

I suspect this will be a private venture ..
