'''North East Line (NEL)''' is the third [[Mass Rapid Transit]] (MRT) line and it is coloured '''<font color="{{Colour/NEL}}">Purple</font>'''. Traveling from one end to the other takes about 33 minutes.<ref>[http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/transport/trpt_nel_travel.aspx "Travel Time"].

As the name implies, the line connects central Singapore to the north-eastern part of the island.


The North East Line is the first line to have artwork integrated into all its 16 stations under the Art in Transit programme. Other than the Art in Transit programme, the interior architecture for the stations are typical of the design of the early 2000s with lots of white, glass and steel.

In the initial stages of planning, {{Station |@=M |#=Outram Park}} was initially planned to be the southern terminus of the North East Line. However, in 1993, the Land Transport Authority decided to extend the line southwards to {{Station |@=M |#=HarbourFront}}, after noting that many people liked to go to the World Trade Centre (the present day HarbourFront Centre).

The line was scheduled for completion in December 2002, but due to various problems in the automation, the opening was repeatedly delayed. It was finally opened on 20 June 2003, with higher fares than existing lines supposedly to compensate for the heavy construction costs (S$4.6 billion).

Template:Line Infobox

North East Line (NEL) is the third Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line and it is coloured Purple. Traveling from one end to the other takes about 33 minutes. The line is currently 19.2 km long with 16 stations and it is fully underground and automated.

The North East Line is the first line to have artwork integrated into all its 16 stations under the Art in Transit programme. Other than the Art in Transit programme, the interior architecture for the stations are typical of the design of the early 2000s with lots of white, glass and steel.

15 January 2006 Template:STN (Opened on operational line)
20 June 2011 Template:STN (Opened on operational line)

Planning

In the initial stages of planning, Template:STN was initially planned to be the southern terminus of the North East Line. However, in 1993, the Land Transport Authority decided to extend the line southwards to Template:STN, after noting that many people liked to go to the World Trade Centre (the present day HarbourFront Centre).

The line was scheduled for completion in December 2002, but due to various problems in the automation, the opening was repeatedly delayed. It was finally opened on 20 June 2003, with higher fares than existing lines supposedly to compensate for the heavy construction costs ($4.6 billion).

North East Line Extension

On 17 January 2013, a 2-kilometre extension which will run from Template:STN through Punggol North including the new Punggol Downtown was announced. It is expected to be completed by 2030.[1]
