Why canât you rebuild Braddell MRT Station with an island platform arrangement?
there was no space because it is cramped with the HDB buildings and was forced to be under lorong 2, and moving it north or south would be not ideal as to the north, braddell road exists, and to the south. it would be too close to toa payoh station to be useful
You cannot rebuild Braddell MRT Station for an island platform arrangement ,can you?
you cant. there was no space because it is cramped with the HDB buildings and was forced to be under lorong 2, and moving it north or south would be not ideal as to the north, braddell road exists, and to the south. it would be too close to toa payoh station to be useful. also, does it really bother you that much that it is not an island platform?
Was there any reason why the platforms are separated?
As when they were building the station, there was tight space constraints as the station had to be built under Lorong 2. moving it further up was impossible due to the HDB surrounding the area and moving it south would render it too close to Toa Payoh station, hence it was built with side platforms
