Searching for Old Interchanges & Terminals
-
Hi all. This is my first post in this forum. I have read some of the threads posted in this forum which are interesting and i have gained much knowledge about buses, not to mention the beautiful bus photos taken by various bus fans.
Currently, my fren and I are interested in finding the old interchanges and terminals controlled by SBS (SBST) and TIBS (SMRT) and taking photos of how it looks like after they are closed. I have searched under Sgwiki but i have some queries which I would like to seek advice from fellow bus fans in here.
1) Does Empress Place Ter and Mei Chin Rd Ter exist? If have, wat are the bus services?
2) Is last time Tuas Ter located at the junction of Pioneer Rd and Tuas Rd?
3) The former location for Clementi Ter before the interchange is open.
4) The former location for Upper Bt Timah Rd Ter (Woodlands Circus)
Really appreciate the advice and suggestions from here. Thank you.
PS: As of now, i have visited

Haha, can forget about Sompah Interchange: become land for construction materials already :D
As for Clementi Interchange I have a bit of memories, last time like damn old kind one, then it was just berths in an area of some HDB neighbourhood blocks(below got shop one lahs), parking lots in the middle of the interchange. Go google maps, go clementi interchange and set satelite and you can see former site. Should be somehow covered with metal boards coz construction in progress
Add on to your discoveries:
Sembawang Road End,-obviously at the end of Sembawang Road, near Sembawang Park

Jalan Kayu, - In the circus, TPE flyover there
Hougang South, - go to Hougang St 21, it's over there

Marine Parade - Siglap Road, now covered by Victoria School. -

That was a temporary interchange built to facilitate the NEL construction on the current interchange site. -

Yeah!!! The place where the 170X S Shift buses park there for the BC's break. -

During the construction of the NEL, they split the then Hougang Ctrl Int into 2. Majority of the services went over to the temporary Int next to Hougang plaza while some remained at the int (due to space constraint).
The temporary Int was known as Hougang Ctrl Int while the original int was known as Hougang Ctrl Terminal (smt like that). -

The temporary Int was known as Hougang Ctrl Int while the original int was known as Hougang Ctrl Terminal (smt like that).
It was known as Hougang Ctrl Ter. The interchange was split into two on 24 May 1998, to be exact.
These were the services called at the two split interchanges.
Hougang Ctrl Int > 89, 97, 111, 153, 165, 325
Hougang Ctrl Ter > 74, 147, 501, 502 -
