Dear Sir/Madam.
If I travel from Changhi airport to Clarke Quay on Sunday June 9th do I need to change trains at Tanah Merah MRT Station ?
I know I have to change trains at EW 16 (Outram Park) to get onto the NE line, but I am not sure if I also have to change trains at Tanah Merah MRT Station. Can you please clarify?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Diana Smit
