New Thomson Line station to be built near Republic Polytechnic

The Land Transport Authority will integrate the new station with the proposed Rapid Transit System link between Singapore and Johor Bahru, says channelnewsasia.com.

According to the report, there will also be an interchange at the existing North-South line's Woodlands station for commuters to transfer onto the Thomson Line which is slated for completion by 2018.

The Thomson Line will run fully underground from Woodlands through the Central Business District to Marina Bay. It will pass through the Ang Mo Kio, Sin Ming and Thomson areas before it reaches the city.

The report also quoted Chris Koh, Director at Dennis Wee Group, and he said once the RTS link is completed, property prices near the upcoming station may easily increase by 5-10%.
