Welcome to the 2nd Singapore Train Memories (SGTM) Documentary Series. This documentary series is created to take you through some events that happens in the MRT network, be it a small or big. There are quite a few documentary videos to expect in 2024!
In this video, it is still on the Circle Line (CCL) Adjustments that took place from 20 January 2024 until 24 May 2024. This adjustment is due to rail expansion works for the upcoming Circle Line Stage 6 which connects the existing HarbourFront tracks to the new Keppel station. CCL6 stations consists of Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward stations, and is slated to be opened by 2026.
To facilitate the works, all of the CCL trains ends at Labrador Park Platform B and there is a shuttle train that plys between Labrador Park and HarbourFront (using Platform A). Platform B of Telok Blangah and HarbourFront is closed for the works. Announcements and signages was made and put up to inform commuters of the Service Adjustment on CCL for the next 4 months.
But this time, I feature Kent Ridge Bound on the Circle Line that is only applicable for weekdays peak hours (both AM & PM Peak) only. 1 in 2 trains will end at Kent Ridge during the Peak Hours, while the other one ends at Labrador Park. The reason for the existence of Kent Ridge Bound is to ease the congestions between Kent Ridge and Paya Lebar stations.
Enjoy some clips and joyrides video, paired with some voiceover for this documentary video!

Means basically the CCL now have 6 terminus stations (Dhoby Ghaut, Marina Bay, Stadium [during off peak and weekends from Marina Bay], Kent Ridge [during weekday peak hours], Labrador Park and Harbourfront [for the 2 stations shuttle]) for these 4 months

I find this quite funny also. thinking about it, why: can't ppl board MRB bound at KRG and must take DBG bound for one stop going to ONH and transferring back to MRB bound?

[@FionaSeah]

Yup my prediction of the Kent Ridge bound to Marina Bay is Correct.

Today observed they allowed for boarding at Kent Ridge towards MRB via the sidings.

[@SGrailadventure2004]

Really, or we only have to board at one-north instead

[@tranzort08]

@@SGrailadventure2004 yes. The platform allowed for boarding
