The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has been working on the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) project for a couple of years now, and it looks like it’s starting to take shape.
The agency just shared renders of what the different stations of PNR Clark Phase 2 will look like once completed, and it has us excited for the new rail line. The DOTr also said that construction now has a 32% overall progress rate.
This phase of the NSCR project which is also called the Malolos-Clark Railway Project will connect Bulacan all the way to Pampanga. There will be six stations in total, namely: Calumpit, Apalit, San Fernando, Angeles, Clark, and Clark International Airport. You can check out the renders below:
The DOTr says that once completed, PNR Clark Phase 2 will reduce travel time from Malolos, Bulacan to Clark, Pampanga and vice versa to just 30-35 minutes from the usual two hours. The entire NSCR project, meanwhile, is expected to cut travel time from Makati to the Clark International Airport to just 55 minutes.
There’s still a long way to go before we see this new train line up and running, but we’re glad to see some progress being made. Your thoughts on this one, readers?
