Station sinking incident
In February 2005, excavation for the tunnels under the existing North East Line station for the Circle Line interchange station hit an unusually large body of groundwater. This caused settlement of the North East Line station as well as the Serangoon viaduct directly above the station, with the station sinking by 1cm. As a result, trains bound for Punggol pulling off the station have to pass by the affected area at a lower speed. By the first few months of 2007, train speeds started picking up once again after the excavation was near completion.
