==History==
===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 MRT 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.{{cn|date=March 2018}}
===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.
