The first station along CRL1 is Aviation Park. Due to its proximity to the Changi East depot, this station becomes a diverging point for the main line and depot reception tracks. As a result, it appears that the station will be designed with 4 tracks serving it, although it is likely that two of these tracks may not be used for revenue operations. Noticeable are the cross overs on both sides of the station - to the west between the main line tracks and the outer tracks and another between both bounds of the main line & to the east again between the main line tracks and outer tracks. Looking at the arrangement of tracks and spacing between, it appears that this station may consist of 2 island platforms.
Additionally on the eastern side beyond the station, the tracks can be seen turning towards the yet-announced Terminal 5 station. On the western end, one can see the tunnels which undercross the existing Changi Airport which run closer together than at other locations - this is set to be one of the two points that utilise a single large diameter bore for tunnel construction instead of the usual two regular diameter bores for each bound.
