Talk:North Triangle Common Station

North Avenue LRT Station is in Bago Bantay not Diliman.

It is actually located in Brgy. Santo Cristo, Bago Bantay, Q.C. where SM City North Edsa is also located. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.203.25.30 (talk) 15:13, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Green Line "SM City North EDSA" a.k.a. "Common Station" Scrapped

The proposed "SM City North EDSA" a.k.a. "Common Station" was scrapped. It will no longer be constructed as per Sen. Roxas' statement yesterday according to this article: http://www.bworldonline.com/content.php?section=Corporate&title=Central-station-near-SM-North-shelved&id=55545 --- Laibcoms (talk | Contribs) 04:17, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

A completely valid argument from Sec. Roxas. I totally agree. Although correct me if I'm wrong, this common station that was scrapped would be the SM City North Edsa station which is a totally different station from this one that would be built right next to the existing North Avenue MRT station across from TriNoma in the intersection of EDSA and North Aveue. I believe the plan was to build a separate terminal in front of SM City closer to the Annex that would mean extending the MRT-3 line by a few hundred meters further west-northwest (which would be a total hassle for MRT commuters and a waste of construction.) Now that SM City would no longer have its own station, the only logical site to build the common terminal is right beside Trinoma closer to the Block, which would mean it will share the same name as the North Avenue MRT station, meaning this station, not SM City North Edsa, would be the common station linking Lines 1, 3 and 7.RioHondo (talk) 18:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

I doubt it's different. I haven't seen any information of adding an extension to the North Avenue station of MRT-3 to accomodate lines 1 and 7. All articles I've read, even from the official websites, were about the "Grand Central Station" which SM funded to get it named after them. The only possible way is to seperate line 1 lanes from line 3 and create a separate station not in-front of SM City Annex but on the intersection itself. It can be called "North Avenue" station since that's where it is/would be, but not a "Common Station" or "Grand Station" since passsengers will still have to walk far from one station to another. If they will not separate the rails of the two lines, then they will have to face the problem of changing lanes, since their design for the two lines were to change lane beyond the last station instead of in-station (like in MRT-3 Taft). Though I now doubt it will happen, with Mar Roxas sort-of cancelling the GCS and then was assigned to a new post. New head, different priorities. --- Laibcoms (talk | Contribs) 17:05, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Common Station Cancellation

However, at the start of the year 2013, new transport secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya has the government has cancelled and abandoned because the construction of the common station was supposed to be completed back in May 2010 during the presidency of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo but disputes over cost, engineering issues and naming rights caused due to the halting of the project by Arroyo's successor President Benigno Aquino III on January 2, 2013 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.208.37.172 (talk) 12:04, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Name format

I propose that this article be moved to North Avenue common station, as this is the common name used by: Inquirer, Rappler (1, 2), DOTr. ITSQUIETUPTOWN talk • contribs 04:21, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
