Last week the Ministry of transport revealed the final locations of the 3 stations that made up Circle Line stage 6. The three stations are tentatively called Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward for their proximity to roads with the same names.

CCL6 Route and Station Predictions

It has been a year since Stage 4 and 5 of TEL was announced. Judging by annual schedules of LTA events and the looming deadline of the completion of several MRT lines and extensions by 2025, we expect that CCL6 will be announced in August or September this year. Like what we have done for TSL (later renamed as TEL Stage 1-3) and TEL Stage 4-5, here are our predictions for CCL6.

Stage 6 stations?

This afternoon we came across a page showing some competition entries for Circle Line stations. These were dated to 2013, and we aren't exactly sure of where these stations are meant to be. At a first glance, they seemed potentially to be renders of designs for the initial Circle Line which was completed in 2011. But take a closer look at the station names.

Projected timeline

Recently, we received some new information on the expected timeline of the project. Based on this, we expect that this line may have an early announcement and will slowly be developed over the course of a few years.

2015 - Station locations announced
2016 - Tenders called for construction
2017 - Demolition, diversion and utility works
2018 - Construction begins in earnest
2025 - Commissioning and full operation
