Hi all, I wrote to LTA about when it is going to open. this is what they said: We noted your concern that Teck Lee Station is not open for service, even though it was built in 2002 together with Punggol West Loop. When determining whether a station should open for service, LTA takes into consideration if there are sufficient developments around the station. We have to ensure that it is economically and financially viable to justify the opening of a station. Currently, there are insufficient developments to justify the opening of Teck Lee Station. However, we note that Teck Lee Station is located near to the vicinity of the recently announced Punggol Digital District. The district will contain mixed-use developments, including digital and cybersecurity industries. The new Singapore Institute of Technology campus will also be in the same area. Teck Lee station will open in tandem with these new developments in the area.
I boarded the punggol lrt on a Tuesday at around 4:30pm towards Samudera, there was a staff member who boarded the lrt at Teck Lee, the doors opened and the station really showed its age, especially the floor which was covered in grime and the steps leading down to the first level. I’m unsure if that was a once in a while occasion or it’s happening on a regular basis.
Weird because some residential towns were still relatively undeveloped in the 1990s, like Hougang, Sengkang, and Punggol. Hougang was more inhabited then(and still is). However, the government decided to start building an LRT in advance just for it to slowly open over the years for more undeveloped towns like Sengkang and Punggol. Many other mature towns with a bigger population did not have any LRT strangely.
That's because it's hard to implement a LRT network in a town where the road network was never designed for it (See: Bukit Panjang LRT and its stupid twists). The Sengkang and Punggol LRT systems could exist as they are because their respective towns were planned to accommodate them from day one on the drawing board
SolBLOX Gaming Because there is nothing around the station, just forests and jungles. It will open in a few years from now when the SIT campus is ready
Back when ewl used to end at Boon Lay instead of Tuas link currently, circle line, Thomson line and downtown line were not even heard of, and buangkok and woodleigh did not exist yet... wow that’s old
The tracks that goes to a dead end was initially a plan for another line...but the plan was cancelled...notice Punggol Terminal has extra space in centre for 3rd platform
Dinocopixar calculate length btwn Platform 1 and 2 on Punggol LRT line. If measured correctly, can fit another middle platform. And notice how there are 2 entrances up and down?
Dinocopixar in the original plan and layout there was, but recently it was infilled probably due to it being cancelled, but if there's support for a brunch from teck lee maybe it would be back...
Honestly I still prefer them using the additional track for a North branch in the future Canal District (is that what its called? i frgt) and if not prob an additional platform for SIT students
Hey! Since you managed to film teck lee, today I saw an interesting abandoned station at the internet today. It's call bukit brown (circle line) you may have a look
@@poteyatocheapp6978 it's already finished actually its just a shell station hiding there until the surrounding developments are ready like Tagore MRT which has the same idea
Nice video cam GlitchFan, by the way, I think Teck Lee was closed just after the gov. built it maybe because of the failed Punggol 21 due to financial crisis between 1997 and 2003?
It seems that the Punggol-pasir ris town council has announced that they will start construction of a new neighbourhood featuring 5-6 HDB blocks. Maybe after or before they open that, this station will open
It Has Confirmed That The Singapore Institute Of Technology In Punggol Digital District Is Built Around Teck Lee LRT And The Punggol Coast MRT Stations.
When Station closed, SBS saved money on operating costs. When Station opened for revenue, SBS spent money on operating cost. There is no public housing and amnenities near Teck Lee Station, so there is not a need to open the station. Only LTA knows the answer.
Leaving it there is such a horrible idea. They should have built a road quickly to open the station. Otherwise, who knows what will be the "histories" of this station. 👻
As long as theres low or no demand to open the station they would not open it, just like how they didnt open Woodleigh for years until a new school opened near it And no. Punggol is quite clean. If theres any ghosts arnd there its probably Lim Teck Lee himself :0
Update: they're starting to build a road thru teck lee station so the fences are gone but theres more hoardings around the stn edit: the road's called Sentul Walk according to URA so Teck Lee may get a new address when it opens
Actually, there are some reasons why they don’t stop there. One being not enough population that will enter or disembark. Low population means low revenue and just a waste to even maintain it. Notice how wooded much of the surroundings are.
Anyone agrees with me that looking at the entire video, you feel like shit suddenly cause its too creepy to keep watching with the different camera angles etc.
The thing is when is the forest going to be cleared? And once it's cleared development can take place which will take more years..geeez By that time this station would be...
For all i know the lrt wasn't evn built in 2002. So the station could just be like a early one so ppl can see but got forgotten and abandoned (maybe must tell prime minister bcuz its actually waste of time train stop there door no open) Btw its just my theory dont take it seriously
Gamer_ Music the reason why is closed is because its surrounded be a very dangerous forest,there is no road,there are dangerous wild animals nearby and finally,no one lives nearby cuz there is no Town nearby
It even looks like they never clean or repaint it definitely abandoned but why they never clean and repaint if their planning to use in the future cause I heard got walkway to this station for future

By right it shouldnt but its already in the signalling system, prob cuz LTA think its troublesome to keep adding stations so they just make all of them stop at all stations without opening their doors at the closed stations.
