The North South Line (NSL) is the first Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line in Singapore. The line is long with 27 stations, including the recently opened North South Line Extension and a planned station, Canberra. Travelling from one end of this line to the other end takes about one hour, and this line is coloured red on the rail map. ==Overview== As the name implies, the line connects central Singapore to both northern and southern parts of the island. Not everybody takes the long journey of the line from Jurong East to either Marina Bay and Marina South Pier. The North South Line starts at Jurong East, where it interchanges with the East West Line from Platforms D & E which are always operational, unlike Platforms A & B which are only operational during peak periods. It merges into the assigned direction, just between Jurong East Street 21 and Jurong East Avenue 1. Then, the train goes all the way to Bukit Batok, and after that it emerges into the short tunnel at the hilltop, and subsequently it goes into the Bukit Gombak. After that it goes all the way to Choa Chu Kang, and crosses through Brickland Road and the short underpass at Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1. The name is originally coined from the Branch Line. The Woodlands Extension extends from Choa Chu Kang and goes all the way to Kranji. After that, it had a short underpass that had to cross through the Woodlands Avenue 3 with the exception of the short open air section while still retaining tunnel walls. After that it goes all the way to Marsiling, and it elevates through towards Yishun. From here it had their middle tracks at Woodlands and Yishun. The original North South Line starts from Yishun, and goes all the way to Khatib, and then after that it descends through the Lentor Avenue, and emerges again into the Yio Chu Kang. After that it descends into the surface, and eventually it will go into Ang Mo Kio, where the level 1 remains as a storeroom access that is only accessible from the paid areas of Ang Mo Kio. After that it descends into Bishan, where it interchanges with the Circle Line, and the platforms are at the basement 1, the only station in the NSEWL that had the concourse level on the ground floor. After that, it goes all the way to Braddell, where the curvature is different including Toa Payoh, and after that it will pass through the Orchard Road area. Cross-platform interchange with the East West Line is only possible again at City Hall and Raffles Place. After that, few trains and on several days, it will terminate at Marina Bay, the other trains will terminate at Marina South Pier. In addition, it also takes commuters to various places (such as Orchard Road), schools (such as Republic Polytechnic and Nanyang Polytechnic) and attractions (such as Singapore Zoo and Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North South MRT Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
