===Planning===
==={{CCL|b=}} 6===
The Circle Line was first known as the Marina Line in May 1998. The Marina Line was initially planned as a 12-station underground line, starting from {{STN|M|Chinatown}} and {{STN|M|Dhoby Ghaut}} via the {{STN|M|Stadium}} to either {{STN|M|Kallang}} or {{STN|M|Paya Lebar}} station. However, the Chinatown leg was later truncated and was reduced to 6 stations up to {{STN|M|Stadium}} station. On the other hand, a further extension towards Upper Paya Lebar was added in the year 2000. The Marina Line was also merged with a MRT Line that goes from Paya Lebar to Buona Vista via Serangoon and Bishan to form Circle Line Stage 3 and 4 in 2001. Stations in Circle Line that were a part of the original Marina Line plans include {{STN|M|Dhoby Ghaut}}, {{STN|M|Bras Basah}}, {{STN|M|Esplanade}}, {{STN|M|Promenade}}, {{STN|M|Nicoll Highway}} and {{STN|M|Stadium}}. Also, the part of the Marina Line from {{STN|M|Chinatown}} to {{STN|M|Promenade}} is now part of the [[Downtown Line]]. Circle Line Stage 5 was again finalised in February 2002 and was extended from Buona Vista to World Trade Centre to close up the link and to provide connectivity from the west to Sentosa, and it became the full Circle Line in the end.
On 17 January 2013, the Land Transport Authority announced '''{{CCL|b=}} 6''' which will close the circle, running between {{Stn|Marina Bay}} and {{Stn|HarbourFront}}. It will be a 4 km extension with 3 stations, slated to be completed by 2026.<ref>[//www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/upcoming_projects/rail_expansion/circle_line_6.html "Circle Line Stage 6"].

Channel NewsAsia.</ref>
 
Construction started in April 2002, and was supposed to be opened from 2006 and fully opened in 2010, with an estimated cost of S$6.7 billion, the [[Nicoll Highway collapse]] caused the construction of the Circle Line to be delayed to open from 28 May 2009 (the Stage 3 of which it is not affected by [[Nicoll Highway collapse]]), with full opening on 8 October 2011, at an escalated cost of nearly S$10 billion.<ref>[http://motoring.asiaone.com/Motoring/Motorworld/Story/A1Story20090818-161682.html "Circle Line could cost taxpayers $10 billion"]</ref> Due to the re-alignment of the Nicoll Highway Station to a new location, the station is only two-thirds the size of the original plan before the collapse, and located 100m away from the highway collapse site.<ref>[http://www.straitstimes.com/Free/Story/STIStory_157967.html "Circle Line will exceed $6.7b budget"] Christopher Tan (The Straits Times, 15 September 2007)</ref> The decision was also made to open both {{STN|M|Caldecott}}, and{{STN|M|Haw Par Villa}} stations (previously Thomson and West Coast), as a normal stations leaving the {{STN|M|Bukit Brown| MRT Station}} closed, and there is only a middle track and emergency escape shaft.
 
===Circle Line Stage 6===
On 17 January 2013, the Land Transport Authority announced 'Circle Line '''Stage 6''' which will close the circle, running between {{STN|M|Marina Bay}} and {{STN|M|HarbourFront}}. It will be a 4 km extension.<ref>[http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/public-transport/projects/circle-line-6.html "Circle Line Stage 6"]. Land Transport Authority.</ref> On 29 October 2015, the LTA announced the 3 station locations for the 'Circle Line '''Stage 6''''. The stations are {{STN|M|Keppel| Station}}, {{STN|M|Cantonment| Station}} and {{STN|M|Prince Edward| Station}}. Construction of the line is due for completion in 2025.<ref>[http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/circle-line-be-full-loop-2025-station-locations-extension-announced "Three new stations to close loop on Circle Line"].

==Incients==
===Nicoll Highway Collapse===
===Nicoll Highway collapse===
On 20 April 2004 at 3.30pm, the construction site of the {{Stn|Nicoll Highway| station}} collapsed, apparently when a retaining wall used in the tunnel's construction gave way. The accident left a collapse zone 150m wide, 100m long, and 30m deep. Four workers were killed, with three more injured and one body which was never recovered.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20170719211131/www.todayonline.com/singapore/fridays-fatal-mishap-worst-worksite-accident-2004-nicoll-highway-tragedy "Friday’s fatal mishap among worst worksite accidents since 2004 Nicoll Highway tragedy"]. TODAY. Archived on 19 July 2017.</ref> Consequently, the station site was moved around 100m south of the initial location. Moreover, the tunnels between Promenade and Stadium were constructed on an alignment that bypassed the collapsed area.<ref>[//eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/today20050930-1.2.10.2.3 "NICOLL HIGHWAY PROJECT RESTARTED"]. TODAY (9 September 2005).</ref> The collapse also resulted in the completion of {{CCL|b=}} 1 being pushed back from 2008 to 2010.
: ''Main article: [[Nicoll Highway collapse]]''
On 20 April 2004, a section of the tunnel being built for the Circle Line collapsed, apparently when a retaining wall used in the tunnel's construction gave way. This occurred near what was planned to become the {{STN|M|Nicoll Highway| station}} on the Circle line, not far from the Merdeka Bridge. The accident left a collapse zone 150m wide, 100m long, and 30m deep. Four workers were killed, with three more injured.


A criminal inquiry found the main contractor Nishimatsu Construction Company and joint venture partner firm Lum Chang Construction Company and their officers, as well as key Land Transport Authority officers responsible for the collapse. Several other officers and subcontractors were reprimanded and issued warnings in connection with the accident.
===2016 train disruptions===
 
In late August 2016, intermittent signal interference led to a five-day series of train disruptions. The issue reappeared again in November.<ref>[//www.todayonline.com/singapore/no-service-6-circle-line-stations-disruption-caused-signal-fault-widens "Signal interference issue plagues Circle line again"]. TODAY.</ref><ref>[//www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/circle-line-signal-fault-that-caused-train-disruptions-on-wednesday-morning "Circle line signal fault that caused train disruptions on Wednesday similar to problem in September: LTA, SMRT"]. Straits Times (2 November 2016)</ref> A team of data scientists explored the data and discovered via a Marey Chart visualization that it was caused by hardware problems, sending errant signals from a "rogue" [[Alstom Metropolis 830C|830C train (846)]].<ref>[//blog.data.gov.sg/how-we-caught-the-circle-line-rogue-train-with-data-79405c86ab6a "How the Circle line rogue train was caught with data"]. Data.Gov.sg (1 December 2016).</ref>
As a result of this accident, the first phase of the Circle Line, previously scheduled to open in 2008, was completed in 2009 instead. The affected station has been shifted about 100m away from the accident site and is now located at Republic Avenue.
 
This accident had also resulted in stricter safety regulations for the construction of all future MRT lines. The shifting of the Nicoll Highway Station also meant it can no longer serve as a terminus for the Bukit Timah Line, partially influencing the creation of the current [[Downtown Line]].
 
===Other incidents===
On 16 August 2007, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) issued a stop-work order and revoked the contractor's tunnelling permit after a 7m stretch of two lanes sank about 20cm, close to the junction of Telok Blangah Road and Alexandra Road in the evening, resulting in a halting of tunnelling works.<ref>[http://www.straitstimes.com/Free/Story/STIStory_150531.html "Stop-work order at Telok Blangah site is fourth this year on $6.7b MRT project"] T. Rajan (The Straits Times, 22 Aug 2007)</ref>
 
A section of the road above a construction site near Holland Road caved in on the morning of 24 May 2008, creating a massive hole. The hole, directly in front of two private houses along Cornwall Gardens Road, measured 8 by 7 metres and was 3 metres deep. No one was injured, but the road was temporarily closed to traffic.<ref>[http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/349771/1/.html "Road above Circle Line construction site caves in"] Channel NewsAsia (24 May 2008)</ref>

Circle Line 6[edit]

On 17 January 2013, the Land Transport Authority announced Circle Line 6 which will close the circle, running between Marina Bay and HarbourFront. It will be a 4 km extension with 3 stations, slated to be completed by 2026.[1][2]

Nicoll Highway Collapse[edit]

On 20 April 2004 at 3.30pm, the construction site of the Nicoll Highway station collapsed, apparently when a retaining wall used in the tunnel's construction gave way. The accident left a collapse zone 150m wide, 100m long, and 30m deep. Four workers were killed, with three more injured and one body which was never recovered.[3] Consequently, the station site was moved around 100m south of the initial location. Moreover, the tunnels between Promenade and Stadium were constructed on an alignment that bypassed the collapsed area.[4] The collapse also resulted in the completion of Circle Line 1 being pushed back from 2008 to 2010.

2016 train disruptions[edit]

In late August 2016, intermittent signal interference led to a five-day series of train disruptions. The issue reappeared again in November.[5][6] A team of data scientists explored the data and discovered via a Marey Chart visualization that it was caused by hardware problems, sending errant signals from a "rogue" 830C train (846).[7]
