===First phase of development===
 
The North South line is the first MRT line in Singapore, with the first section from [[Yio Chu Kang station|Yio Chu Kang]] to [[Toa Payoh station|Toa Payoh]] opening on 7 November 1987.  on 12 December 1987, nine more stations from [[Novena station|Novena]] to [[Outram Park station|Outram Park]] opened. <ref>{{Cite news|url=http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19871212-1.2.3|title=Shopping for Xmas the MRT way...|last=Rav|first=Dhaliwal|date=12 December 1987|work=Straits Times|access-date=19 September 2017|via=eResources}}</ref> The line was extended northward to [[Yishun station|Yishun]] on 20 December 1988 and it began independent operations on 4 November 1989, when the extension to [[Marina Bay station|Marina Bay]] was opened.
 
===Second phase of development (Woodlands extension)===
 
After the Branch Line opened in 1990, the Woodlands MRT line was envisioned to link [[Yishun station|Yishun]] and [[Choa Chu Kang station|Choa Chu Kang]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/infopedia/articles/SIP_364_2005-01-28.html|title=Woodlands MRT line {{!}} Infopedia|last=Singapore|first=National Library Board,|website=eresources.nlb.gov.sg|access-date=2017-09-19}}</ref> During the initial planning of the line, [[Sembawang MRT station|Sembawang]] station was only intended as a provisional station, to be built at a later date as Sembawang town was not constructed then. [[Kranji station|Kranji]] station was not planned. But on the second round of planning, the government decided to build these stations and omit Sungei Kadut station from the plan. Sungei Kadut station will be built later if the town's population justifies the necessity for the station. With the Woodlands Extension opening on 10 February 1996, the Branch Line became part of the North South line.<ref name=":0" />
 
===Jurong East modification project===
The Jurong East modification project entailed the construction of a new platform and the addition of a fourth track to [[Jurong East MRT station|Jurong East station]] to reduce waiting times and crowding at the station during peak hours.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://app.lta.gov.sg/corp_press_content.asp?start%3D1964 |title=Jurong East Modification Project|accessdate=January 31, 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120212162757/http://app.lta.gov.sg/corp_press_content.asp?start=1964 |archivedate=February 12, 2012 }}</ref> The modification project was completed on 27 May 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=9h18aw9i6asknrt367xu15fsk5yfn42ppgtynwhh6ob20585f8 |title=New Platform At Jurong East Station To Open On 27 May |publisher=Land Transport Authority of Singapore |date=16 May 2011 |accessdate=2014-11-22}}</ref> The track and platform was initially opened during morning peak hours only, but since December 2011, they also operate during the evening peak hours.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=9h18aw9i6asknrt367xu15fsk5yfn42ppgtynwhh6ob20585f8|title=New Platform At Jurong East Station To Open On 27 May {{!}} Press Room {{!}} Land Transport Authority|website=www.lta.gov.sg|language=en|access-date=2017-09-23}}</ref>
 
===North South line extension===
A 1km, one station extension from [[Marina Bay station|Marina Bay]] to [[Marina South Pier station]] was opened on 23 November 2014.<ref name=":1" />  At first, only 1 in 4 of the southbound trains terminated at Marina South Pier. The other three trains still terminated at the ex-terminus, Marina Bay, possibly due to low demand. This restriction was lifted on May 2017 due to the inauguration of the new signalling system.
 
===Canberra station===
 
On 17 January 2013, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that a feasibility studies was being conducted to create a station between [[Sembawang station|Sembawang]] and [[Yishun station|Yishun]] stations.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://app.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=38dc4ca3-5e70-4bf8-97bc-87f78e6303e7 | title=Two New Rail Lines And Three New Extensions To Expand Rail Network By 2030 | publisher=Land Transport Authority | date=17 January 2013 | accessdate=1 August 2014 | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140706170425/http://app.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=38dc4ca3-5e70-4bf8-97bc-87f78e6303e7 | archivedate=6 July 2014 | df= }}</ref> The feasibility studies was completed in 2014 and Canberra station was to be built.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/transport/story/new-mrt-station-north-south-line-canberra-20140627 | title=New MRT station for North-South Line: Canberra | publisher=The Straits Times | date=27 June 2014 | accessdate=1 August 2014}}</ref> Shortly later on 1 August 2014, LTA announced that construction will start in mid-2015 and is expected to be completed by 2019.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=beab07d4-f096-4d34-bc70-9d529ae12634 | title=New Addition to North-South Line: Canberra Station | publisher=Land Transport Authority | date=1 August 2014 | accessdate=2 August 2014}}</ref> Construction works for Canberra station commenced on 26 March 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=7de0099c-4e9d-4a67-bb3f-217885a85fe3|title=WORK STARTS FOR CANBERRA MRT STATION ON NORTH-SOUTH LINE|last=|first=|date=26 March 2016|website=LTA|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171011181151/https://www.lta.gov.sg/apps/news/page.aspx?c=2&id=7de0099c-4e9d-4a67-bb3f-217885a85fe3|archive-date=2017-10-11|dead-url=yes|access-date=11 October 2017}}</ref> This station, which is an Infill station, will have side platforms, similar to that of [[Dover station|Dover]].

===Possible future stations===
===2011 train disruptions===
* '''NS6:''' 1 new station between {{Stn|Yew Tee}} & {{Stn|Kranji}}
On 15 December 2011, services between {{Stn|Bishan}} and {{Stn|Marina Bay}} stations were disrupted due to damage sustained on the power rail between {{Stn|Dhoby Ghaut}} and {{Stn|City Hall}}. Trains along the stretch were stalled and caused a service disruption until 11.40pm on that day.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20120107150617/www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1171573/1/.html "North-South MRT Line breakdown hits thousands"]. Channel NewsAsia. Archived on 7 January 2012.</ref> Two days later, a similar problem caused a seven-hour disruption between {{Stn|Ang Mo Kio}} and {{Stn|Marina Bay}}.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20120107150702/www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1171888/1/.html "MRT breaks down again"].

Channel NewsAsia. Archived on 7 January 2012.</ref> According to the Committee of Inquiry (COI) report, both disruption was caused by damage to the third rail and the trains' collector shoes.<ref>[//www.mot.gov.sg/news-centre/news/Detail/Release%20of%20Report%20of%20COI%20into%2015%20and%2017%20December%202011%20MRT%20Disruptions/ "Release of Report of COI into 15 and 17 December 2011 MRT Disruptions"]. Ministry of Transport.</ref>
 
===2015 train disruption===
On 7 July 2015 at about 7.20pm, both the {{NSL|style=font-weight:normal;}} and {{EWL|b=}} were temporarily disrupted due to massive power trips detected along the line. Train service resumed at 10.35pm at a reduced speed.<ref>[//www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/newsroom/2015/7/2/lta-media-statement-nsewl-service-disruption-2.html "LTA Media Statement: NSEWL Service Disruption"]. Land Transport Authority (7 July 2015).</ref> The cause of the disruption was due to damaged insulators which caused a failure to properly supply power.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20160427123605/www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/power-trip-on-mrt-network/2733272.html "Power trip on MRT network due to power fault on NSEWL"]. Channel NewsAsia. Archived on 27 April 2016.</ref>
 
===2017 tunnel flooding===
On 7 October 2017, a 20-hour long disruption of services started due to flooding in the tunnels between {{Stn|Bishan}} and {{Stn|Braddell}} stations due to a faulty drainage system, resulting in disruption of train services between {{Stn|Ang Mo Kio}} and {{Stn|Marina South Pier}} stations in both directions for several hours. A trackside fire between {{Stn|Raffles Place}} and {{Stn|Marina Bay}} stations further exacerbated the disruption.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20171007164559/www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/nsl-disruption-smrt-water-in-the-tunnel-trackside-fire-caused-9289414 "Water in the tunnel, trackside fire caused train disruption on NSL: SMRT"]. Channel NewsAsia (8 October 2017). Archived on 7 October 2017.</ref>
 
Train services between {{Stn|Newton}} and {{Stn|Marina South Pier}} were restored on the day itself at about 9.20pm while full train service resumed at 1.36pm the following day after overnight efforts to clear the water in the tunnel.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20171008044136/www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/nsl-disruption-flooded-mrt-tunnel-sunday-9290220 "NSL disruption: No train services between Ang Mo Kio, Newton 'till further notice', says SMRT"]. Channel NewsAsia. Archived on 8 October 2017.</ref> It was discovered that the overflowing in the tunnel was caused by a malfunction in the water pumping system, which has since been repaired.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20171008181159/www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/lta-on-flooded-mrt-tunnel-9290804 "NSL disruption: Malfunctioning water pumping system resulted in flooded MRT tunnel, says LTA"].

2011 train disruptions[edit]

On 15 December 2011, services between Bishan and Marina Bay stations were disrupted due to damage sustained on the power rail between Dhoby Ghaut and City Hall. Trains along the stretch were stalled and caused a service disruption until 11.40pm on that day.[4] Two days later, a similar problem caused a seven-hour disruption between Ang Mo Kio and Marina Bay.[5][6] According to the Committee of Inquiry (COI) report, both disruption was caused by damage to the third rail and the trains' collector shoes.[7]

2015 train disruption[edit]

On 7 July 2015 at about 7.20pm, both the North–South Line and East–West Line were temporarily disrupted due to massive power trips detected along the line. Train service resumed at 10.35pm at a reduced speed.[8] The cause of the disruption was due to damaged insulators which caused a failure to properly supply power.[9]

2017 tunnel flooding[edit]

On 7 October 2017, a 20-hour long disruption of services started due to flooding in the tunnels between Bishan and Braddell stations due to a faulty drainage system, resulting in disruption of train services between Ang Mo Kio and Marina South Pier stations in both directions for several hours. A trackside fire between Raffles Place and Marina Bay stations further exacerbated the disruption.[10]

Train services between Newton and Marina South Pier were restored on the day itself at about 9.20pm while full train service resumed at 1.36pm the following day after overnight efforts to clear the water in the tunnel.[11] It was discovered that the overflowing in the tunnel was caused by a malfunction in the water pumping system, which has since been repaired.[12]
