Why is it called the Circle Line when it’s not even a circle? You might have wondered this while looking at Singapore’s train map. Well, here’s your answer: The orange line (or yellow, as many refer to it), is supposed to be a circular loop, but it’s just that its construction is still underway.
That’s all set to change soon, with three new train stations along the Circle Line finally closing the gap: Keppel (CC30), Cantonment (CC31), and Prince Edward Road (CC32). These new stations will sit between the HarbourFront and Marina Bay interchanges, offering commuters greater convenience in getting around to and from Singapore’s South.
Keppel MRT station will sit right across the road from Keppel Distripark, and is said to be the only train station in Singapore with an underground bicycle park – featuring accessible ramps to promote car-lite living.
Integrated with the old Tanjong Pagar Railway Station – now a conserved monument – Cantonment MRT station is right outside Tanjong Pagar Distripark. This makes for more convenience when visiting the Singapore Art Museum and other galleries within the warehouse building.
Then there’s Prince Edward Road MRT station, located along the outer area of Shenton Way in the CBD. Fun fact: part of its design is inspired by a ship’s hull, so see if you can spot such elements once it’s finally open.
These three new Circle Line MRT stations are slated to open within the first half of 2026. Find out more here.
