MacPherson MRT Station (CC10/DT26) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Circle Line and the future Downtown Line in Geylang, Singapore. It is located along Paya Lebar Road, near the Geylang Neighbourhood Police Centre.
This is one of the few stations on the network that will allow commuters to conveniently transfer between the Circle Line and Downtown Line platforms, connected through a short escalator ride.
History
The station was opened on 17 April 2010 along with the rest of Stage 1 & 2 of the Circle Line.
The Downtown Line portion of this station will open on 21 October 2017, as announced by the Land Transport Authority on 31 May 2017.[1]

Circle Line Station Layout
MacPherson station has two platforms in an island platform arrangement. Full-height Platform screen doors isolate the air-conditioned station from the tunnel environment, enhancing commuter safety and station comfort. A set of escalators, stairs and a lift connects the platform level to the concourse level one floor above. With the concourse wrapping around the platform, a large interior space is created around the platform, giving the impression of spaciousness.
Currently, two sections (one for trains heading to Expo and the other one for trains heading to Bukit Panjang) of the platform behind the Concourse-Platform escalators are boarded up for construction works, which will likely accommodate a paid link to the future Downtown Line platform built underneath the current Circle Line platform.
Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display screens located at each platform, display expected train arrival times and key messages. Tactile flooring helps to guide the visually-handicapped from the platform to the station exits[2].
