Hi there, I'm the lady you met during this preview day. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. Thank you for all your videos and for chatting with me. 😃

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thanks for stopping to chat with us a while!

[@VicariousWalker]

Getting to East Coast Park or Katong Laksa won't be such a difficult journey anymore!

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Not at all! 🤤

[@patriciagoulter]

So exciting, when we stayed in Katong in December 2022 this MRT was being built. It also explains why the hotel we usually stay in in Katong is very pricey now. We have booked our tickets and accommodation for the end of August so this is absolutely wonderful, we will have great fun with this line. Thank you so much again.

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Oh great, you’ll have more options to get about now.

Interesting video! Being a train nerd, and loving Singapore, I was never going to hate it. On our last visit (March 24) we found the other parts of the TEL useful. We went all the way to Woodlands North on it to visit Woodlands Waterfront Park, it was great for getting back to the city from the Tanglin Gate exit from the Botanic Gardens, and we also used Gardens by the Bay station at the end of a visit to the Barrage (I think that was the end of the line at that time). Good to see that the next bit has been opened.

[@jessicaregina1956]

Interesting, more nerds And how often do u make a pilgrimage to the first ever mrt station?😂

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Making travel so much easier. Few more stops and a new train line still to come.

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Oh! I’ve forgotten the first one 😯

[@kenzone]

Thanks Jonty and Millie, for bringing us along for this preview ride. It has been really eye-opening, the opportunities for so many different activities at each stop. Excited about the greater accessibility to the beach and park connectors along the route as well as to the Marine Parade town centre. That mural of The Big Splash water park in the Tanjong Katong station brings back memories of my teenage and 20s years. Nice touch to include that on the wall for older Singaporeans.

[@bookwormfaith]

I look at Singapore, constantly building useful train lines, and I look at our Non-Existant Airport line in Melbourne that keeps getting promised and weep a little inside XD A fun trip thanks guys!

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Good to explore everything we think, to get a good view of local life too.

[@kelvgan]

Marine parade cancelled walk to i12 mall and joo chiat side and easy coast road

[@OwenLaw-lu7oq]

parkway parade is also quite good as well, one of the largest suburban malls in the east

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

We’re looking forward to coming back and seeing what’s about there. Any more recommendations?

[@OwenLaw-lu7oq]

@@WONDERLUSTworld the peranakan houses, especially the colourful ones at koon seng, were amazing. if i am not mistaken, they are one of the most instagrammable places

[@kelvgan]

Siglap more of a private residential no area and a small local mall only

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Good to know.

[@jessicaregina1956]

Nothing to explore!

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Aww we beg to differ! Many new food spots and parks to enjoy.
