Y'all got trolled

It is popularly believed that the CCL6 Prince Edward Road station is built to be a cross platform interchange with a future line, and thus currently has a side platform configuration for the Circle Line. However, according to this Straits Times article, the side platform configuration is actually a result of space constraints due to the presence of supporting structures of nearby commercial buildings. On the Wikipedia article, the only reference provided for the supposed provision for an interchange doesn't mention anything about that either. The station model at the project information centre doesn't explicitly mention this either. I'm wondering if anyone has a better source for this that I'm missing.

Constructed in the 1930s, the informally named Alexandra Railway was a freight railway branching out from the main KTM railway around Jalan Kilang Barat.

In 1949, work begun to build an extension of the railway to Anchor Brewery. The work included a bonded store at present-day IKEA Alexandra (top-left of the first pic), and a bridge across Alexandra Road to Anchor Brewery at present-day Anchorpoint and The Anchorage.

Remnants of the railway, notably a crossing gate, survived until 2011 when the mainline between Tanjong Pagar station and Woodlands closed. Within two years, Rumah Tinggi Eco Park and a car park was built over the site of the railway.
