Comments

"the Changi Airport branch" link airport first time.
"Changi Airport station" station should be part of the link so it's not confused with the airport itself.
"than the Changi Airport station" no need for "the".
"airport's Terminal 5 by 2040.[3][4]" why only reference that in the lead? All material in lead should be in article and expanded upon, and can be referenced there.
"will be incorporated as part of the" do you mean "incorporated into the"?
"The two-station branch, which included Expo station, was finalised" was it finalised or was it agreed that it'd be built?
"announcement by then Deputy" then is not required, it's obvious this is a contemporary discussion.
"President's Challenge 2001" what is this?
I assume that walk was before the station opened, but it's not clear.
"of the Changi Airport station" again, no "the", check others.
"Changi Airport Branch" section heading, is this actually a formal name, or should it be "Changi Airport branch"?
"Installation of the half-height" no "the".
""and was one of the last stations on the EWL to have PSDs installed on" full height? To replace those half-height ones?
"where the DTL will interchange" would.
"the overrun tunnels" what are those?
"S$211.4 million (US$168 million) in M" currencies are linked second time round.
"construction of Stage 3 of the DTL with" --> "construction of DTL3 with"
"the Downtown line 3 Expo station" do you need "the Downtown line 3" here?
"the DTL station" again, is DTL needed?
"It was followed" This was followed?
"will be opened" would be opened.
"other Downtown Line 3 stations" DTL3.
"DTL3 extension (DTL3e). The DTL3e "merge to avoid repetition.
"by British architectural"" no need to link British.
"The spacious interior of the station" guidebook
"which complement the futuristic design of the station." ditto.
In fact, this whole bit needs a copyedit to bring it back to encyclopedic tone.
"signify not only the importance of organic communication" same.
Refs 29, 31, 32 etc etc, spaced hyphens should be en-dashes.
"extends to Sungei Bedok in 2024, the next station will be Xilin station. [45]" both overlinked and no space before ref.

That's it, on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:25, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Addressed the issues raised. Overrun tunnels generally mean the tunnels that extends beyond the terminating station. I cant really find a Wikipedia article on this. And it is only half height platform doors and not full height. Design section has also been copyedited.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:29, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Okay, promoting. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:40, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. The article was recently promoted to GA, and the hook is supported. I wonder if the hook can be slightly modified, to make clear that cooling and reflection are happening at the same time. Perhaps something like 'both reflect sunlight into the station and cool it at the same time' would be appropriate? RGloucester — ☎ 18:11, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So smth like "... that the two elliptical roofs of Singapore's Expo MRT station reflect sunlight into the station and cool it at the same time?--ZKang123 (talk) 11:50, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that will do. Accepted as ALT 1. RGloucester — ☎ 12:14, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
