But it wasn&#8217;t planned as a single line. It originally consisted of the Thomson Line and the Eastern Region Line. The two lines run parallel to Singapore&#8217;s first two MRT lines; the former runs parallel to the North South Line, while the latter East West Line. But the Land Transport Authority and Singapore Land Authority merged the two lines, adding nine new stations to its rail alignment. However, Mount Pleasant MRT and Marina South MRT stations will only be open after nearby housing developments and shopping malls are ready.<\/p>\n<p>Upon the opening of TEL Stage 3, there will be six interchange stations on the line, namely, Woodlands, Caldecott, Stevens, Orchard, Outram Park and Marina Bay. Woodlands, Orchard and Marina Bay will connect commuters on the TEL with the North South Line (NSL). You can switch to the line at Caldecott and Marina Bay. For those wanting to get on the Downtown Line (DTL), alight at Stevens for the transfer. At Outram Park, commuters can switch to either the North East Line (NEL) or the East West Line (EWL).[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-gardens-by-the-bay-by-ethan-p.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-gardens-by-the-bay-by-ethan-p.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-gardens-by-the-bay-by-ethan-p-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-gardens-by-the-bay-by-ethan-p-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-gardens-by-the-bay-by-ethan-p-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-gardens-by-the-bay-by-ethan-p-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"metroresidences singapore serviced apartments - gardens by the bay - by ethan-p\" \/><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1666764377584{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Over 180,000 households are within a 10-minute walk from TEL when the new extension opens. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/expat-life\/explore\/hidden-gems-along-thomson-east-coast-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Just imagine all the hidden gems along the line that you can finally get to,<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and the time savings for when you&#8217;re commuting to the city core.

This neighbourhood has some of the most coveted postcodes in Singapore. It&#8217;s surrounded by private estates and low-rise luxury condominiums. Singapore Chinese Girls&#8217; School, St. Joseph&#8217;s Institution and Raffles Town Club are all a stone&#8217;s throw away. Meanwhile, Singapore Botanic Gardens and all its verdant splendour are just at the next stop. From here, you can get to Orchard in just three stations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nearby MetroResidences Singapore Apartment Rental:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/newton\/4125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MetroResidences Newton Serviced Apartments<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/stevens\/1617\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robin Suites Apartment Rentals<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/10\/b4791\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Grove<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/bukit-timah\/3873\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Asana<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/newton\/2235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liberte<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"divider-wrap\"><div style=\"height: 10px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1666763516380{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 id=\"2-orchard-mrt\"><strong>2.

You now finally have another direct MRT link to Singapore&#8217;s premier shopping destination. The new linkway between the TEL and NSL platforms is constructed underneath the existing NSL station. Special drilling machines were used because of the confined space that contractors have to work with. The new exits at the station will provide easier access to high-end condominiums along Paterson Hill and Grange Road, as well as the other premium Singapore apartment rentals towards the south of Orchard Road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nearby MetroResidences Singapore Apartment Rental:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/orchard\/b5236\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scotts Square<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/orchard\/b7457\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cairnhill Orchard<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"divider-wrap\"><div style=\"height: 10px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1666763535977{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 id=\"3-outram-park-mrt\"><strong>3.

Outram Park MRT first opened in December 1987. Back then, train services from Lakeside station in the east to Yishun in the north used to pass through Outram Park. But by October 1989 that service was split to create the NSL and EWL.<\/p>\n<p>Outram Park MRT is surrounded by a cluster of hospitals and healthcare facilities: Singapore General Hospital, Outram Community Hospital, and the Health Promotion Board. The LTA upgraded the existing station complex to improve capacity as they built TEL. There&#8217;s a new entrance on the other side of Outram Road, providing direct access between the stations with the various healthcare developments there. There will also be a new linkway connecting to NEL, complete with travelators and improved signage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nearby MetroResidences Singapore Apartment Rental:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/tiong-bahru\/3642\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Two Sixty One<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/tiong-bahru\/3392\">Louis Kienne Serviced Residences<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-shenton-way-singapore-condo-rental-by-ethan-p-cropped.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-shenton-way-singapore-condo-rental-by-ethan-p-cropped.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-shenton-way-singapore-condo-rental-by-ethan-p-cropped-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-shenton-way-singapore-condo-rental-by-ethan-p-cropped-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-shenton-way-singapore-condo-rental-by-ethan-p-cropped-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/metroresidences-singapore-serviced-apartments-shenton-way-singapore-condo-rental-by-ethan-p-cropped-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"metroresidences singapore serviced apartments - shenton way singapore condo rental - by ethan-p\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"divider-wrap\"><div style=\"height: 10px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1666763553180{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 id=\"4-shenton-way-mrt\"><strong>4.

It will then serve a collection of condominiums nearby. It&#8217;s one of the more challenging stations to build. The construction site can only work with a narrow corridor along Meyer Road, and the ground at the station mainly comprises soft clay. Selected stretches of the site had to be strengthened to minimise risk during tunnelling works.<\/p>\n<p>The station sits adjacent to Katong Park, one of Singapore&#8217;s oldest parks. It&#8217;s built above the buried remains of Fort Tanjong Katong. While it may be hard to imagine now, the sea lapped on its shore back then. The park had Singapore&#8217;s first public sea swimming enclosure, so families would throng the park over the weekend. But the park lost its sea frontage once coastal reclamation went into full swing in the 1970s. Today, cycling routes and walkways can easily get you to East Coast Park from there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nearby MetroResidences Singapore Apartment Rental:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/east-coast\/1471\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Costa Fort<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/east-coast\/2204\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meyer Melodia<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1666763773131{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 id=\"6-sungei-bedok-mrt\"><strong>6.

Now, it looks forward to its completion in 2024, providing improved convenience to the nearby residential development, Eastwood Centre, the Bedok Food Centre, and the Laguna National Golf &amp; Country Club. When it opens next year, it will become the terminus for the TEL until the line is extended to Changi Airport by 2040.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nearby MetroResidences Singapore Apartment Rental:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/serviced-apartments\/tanah-merah\/2435\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eastwood<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"divider-wrap\"><div style=\"height: 10px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1666763811817{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 id=\"apartment-rentals-singapore-metroresidences\"><strong>Singapore Apartment Rentals with Easy Access to MRT<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_cityscape.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_cityscape.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_cityscape-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_cityscape-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_cityscape-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_cityscape-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_cityscape\" \/><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1666765865571{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_fadeIn fadeIn vc_custom_1665554082499 animated wpb_start_animation\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">serviced apartments<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and hotel rooms are conveniently located, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metroresidences.com\/sg\/expat-life\/explore\/top-5-serviced-apartments-in-singapore-near-mrt-stations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hassle-free access to public transport<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
