"Cross-platform transfer"? How is this possible with an orbital line, which by definition is perpendicular to radial lines? I have removed this bit. Jpatokal 16:14, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Underground?

This article states that the Circle Line is fully underground, but, some of the interchanges it has with other lines are above ground. How is the Circle Line fully underground then?

Hmm? The track, its trains and its platforms are fully underground, so I think it's fair to say that the line is fully underground. Jpatokal 12:44, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Everything is fully underground just to confirm. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 13:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Simple. Escalaters lead passengers from the above-ground platform straight down into the underground platform without having to pass through fair gates as is the practice in all existing interchange stations. I suppose this creates a rather unusual category of train stations...above cum below ground!--Huaiwei 14:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Such above-cum-underground stations are new in Singapore but not new elsewhere. Tokyo has plenty of such stations. Just take the sprawling JR Ueno station complex as an example. If I remember correctly, the shinkansen platform is located on basement 5 while the other commuter lines are located on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Unkx80 06:51, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Now I understand.

[edit] Problems

User:Ragnaroknike keeps on insisting that Marina Line is not Circle Line and has made a mess of the article. I hope to get a concensus here with discussions and suggestions here. Thanks. --Terence Ong 06:04, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stage 6

Is there any actual evidence for a complete-the-circle "Stage 6" being planned? (As in, something after/beyond the DTE.) Jpatokal 02:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Here is a evidence of the Stage 6 of the Circle Line. Just click this link and here is your answer: link title.There is also another evidence of the Stage 6. While I was watching News5 Tonight (a Singapore news), the news mentioned something about Stage 6 of the Circle Line but I did not hear the plane of Stage 6 carefully. Aranho 19:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Huh? The map you link to is a fantasy map, not an official LTA release. And again, "Stage 6" is often used to mean the DTE, but the article talks about a Stage 6 beyond the DTE that would actually complete the circle. Jpatokal 20:32, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Status

It appears that no part of the CCL will open on 2008. This information appears to be quietly slipped into some of the governmental websites. c.f. http://www.lta.gov.sg/projects/proj_rail_ccl.htm and http://www.mot.gov.sg/motivate_issue_sept2006.pdf. Am I right? unkx80 12:39, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, this is largely due to the collapse of the construction site at Nicoll Highway station in 2004. Sandstorm6299 19:56, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
