Happy New Year 2026! (CCL6 version)

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! This year is looking to be a momentous year with lots of rail stations scheduled to open. The first of these is slated to be the final stage of the Circle Line (CCL) - stage 6 - that bridges the gap between HarbourFront and Marina Bay stations. Enough of those "why is it called the Circle Line when it is not a circle?" questions. It's finally becoming a circle. But before we get there, here are some early looks at the interiors of Keppel and Cantonment stations. They look good. Major thanks to @stormfire_transport for the heads up.

To wrap up the end of the year, we're doing a short "Spotlight" series for the Circle Line Stage 6 (CCL6). In this series, we'll look at the progress made at the various CCL6 stations through the course of the year. Explore our other two posts so far on:

CCL - Signage revisited

 

11 October 2025 - Updated wayfinding signage at Promenade station.

The roll out of the next generation of signage along the Circle Line (CCL) ahead of its Stage 6 opening next year has commenced. Starting with Promenade station, the signage update exercise has expanded to other stations with reports of the signs being spotted at Nicoll Highway, Dakota and Paya Lebar coming in. The changes are rather drastic from the previous versions used along the line, with the full route map being displayed on the Platform Screen Doors (PSDs) and station name signs displayed over the door opening instead of in between them.

11 October 2025 - A view of the updated signage, where the station name is displayed above the
PSD door openings and the full route map in between doors.

Station exits clad - check. Station structures painted - check. LED train arrival timing boards installed - check. Lights on - check! Station name signs - che... Oops! These are some of the items that have been marked off at the various stage 6 stations along the Circle Line's stage 6 (CCL6). Since September, the rest of the line has undergone early closures & late openings to commence the process of integrating the extension with the rest of the loop.

With the Circle Line stage 6 (CCL6) section targeted for completion in the first half of 2026, we took the opportunity to check in on progress made on the 3 new stations along the 4km link. Works at the three stations are in the semi-final stages, with structural works since completed and installation of architectural finishings underway. Commuter facilities such as sheltered bus stops and pick-up/drop-off points are being constructed to support connectivity at the stations. Join us as we take a better look at all the progress made thus far after the jump.
