Comments

  • Expanded the para to include the fact it starts to serve the West loop in 2005.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
• Some citations are not properly formatted. Like [15]. Add author's name etc. Also, remove these "LTA | News room" from the citations.

    •  Done fixed citations--ZKang123 (talk) 04:04, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

  • Will prefer the inline, as that has already been introduced by @Davey2010:--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
• "Sengkang NEL MRT platforms" I would suggest changing the caption to "MRT platforms of the station".

  •  Done added footnote--ZKang123 (talk) 04:03, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

    • "The LRT station opened on 18 January 2003 along with the other East loop stations on the SKLRT" - since this is mentioned in the lead, it should be in the body too. ❯❯❯   S A H A

• What is Kampung?
  • Wiki-linked. Malay name for villages.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
• 4 platforms, 4 tracks, 2 island platforms - Add this in the body with source.

  •  Done
• add that the station is elevated, in the body.
  •  Done
• The station has four levels, and 3 platform levels. This might create confusion. Add what the other level is.
• Disabled access citation needed.
• "The station is connected to compass heights and others" - this is mentioned twice (in 'location' and 'design'). Remove one of them.
• "includes improved barrier-free access to the station, new dual-speed escalators leading to the platforms, and an additional lift for the MRT, LRT and mezzanine levels of Sengkang station." - While spot checking, found this part is same as the citation no. [14].
• No need to mention "ambitious programme", as almost all govt. (even in my country) say the programmes ambitious. Instead you can mention the programme name.

Further comments by Epicgenius

• is within walking distance to the Compassvale Bus Interchange. - should probably be "within walking distance of"
  •  Done
• developed under an ambitious programme by the Government - Either the Singapore government could be linked here, or "Government" should be lowercase.
  •  Done
• The station begun to serve the West loop - "The station began..." or "The station had begun...". In this case, "began" is better.
  •  Done
• In 2018, it was announced that the station will be further upgraded which includes improved barrier-free access to the station, new dual-speed escalators leading to the platforms, and an additional lift for the MRT, LRT and mezzanine levels of Sengkang station as well as expanding the current LRT train platform to create a more spacious area for commuters by 2022. - I'd split this into 2 sentences, after "the MRT, LRT and mezzanine levels of Sengkang station".
  •  Done
• The station is located in Sengkang New Town[20], located along Sengkang Square.[1] - put punctuation before references, and I would remove both instances of "located".
  •  Done
• The MRT/LRT station was the first such station on the MRT network to have all three modes of transport seamlessly connected. - "Seamlessly connected" sounds strange. I would suggest something like "The MRT/LRT station was the first intermodal station on the MRT network for all three modes of transport". epicgenius (talk) 16:53, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Further comment by Dave

Someone pinged me inregards to Commons being inline - Generally speaking I prefer inline when there's barely any external links - A box template is useful over inline when there's a lot of links as the reader may miss it with there being loads of links whereas that wouldn't be the case with 1 or 2 links, Personally I see no reason why this should be changed and I'm rather miffed as to why a Commons link is part of a GA criteria....–Davey2010^Talk 21:00, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
