message: "Cross-platform transfer"?  How is this possible with an orbital line, which by definition is perpendicular to radial lines?  I have removed this bit. Jpatokal 16:14, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Is there any actual evidence for a complete-the-circle "Stage 6" being planned?  (As in, something after/beyond the DTE.) Jpatokal 02:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Here is a evidence of the Stage 6 of the Circle Line. Just click this link and here is your answer: link title.There is also another evidence of the Stage 6. While I was watching News5 Tonight (a Singapore news), the news mentioned something about Stage 6 of the Circle Line but I did not hear the plane of Stage 6 carefully. Aranho 19:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Huh?  The map you link to is a fantasy map, not an official LTA release. And again, "Stage 6" is often used to mean the DTE, but the article talks about a Stage 6 beyond the DTE that would actually complete the circle. Jpatokal 20:32, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The logical thing would be for the stations between HabourFront and Dhoby Ghaut to switch from North East Line to Circle Line.  That would complete the circle and the North East Line would then run from Dhoby Ghaut to Punggol.  However, the concession to operate the North East Line may be a problem. Mcarling (talk) 05:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: For now, this is not possible, as the NEL uses overhead power lines, whereas the CCL uses third rail. Also, NEL has 6 cars coupled together, but CCL only has 3 cars. For such a change, there would have to be infrastructure changes to the rails and stations and signal systems. With the announcements of extension from promenade to bayfront and subsequently marina bay, it is more likely for extension to be built from marina bay to harbourfront. However whether this is the future plan remains to be seen. - oahiyeel talk 06:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Adding a third rail and updating the signaling would cost perhaps 1% or less what it would cost to complete the circle along an all new route.  Has there been an official announcement of a Circle Line extension from Promenade to Marina Bay?  I cannot find one.  It seems like an Internet urban legend.  I would be grateful for a link to an official announcement.  If the Circle Line will go to Marina Bay, what will become of the section from Promenade to Dhoby Ghaut?  Will it become part of the Downtown Line or one of the other planned lines or will the Circle Line have a branch?  A "Circle Line" that is not a closed circle is bad enough, but a branch is not compatible with the name. Mcarling (talk) 09:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: LTA announced sometime this year that a station would be added "to close the circle"http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/public-transport/projects/circle-line-stage-6.html. The station is "Keppel" and would be in between HarbourFront station and Marina Bay station. So, do we want to add that in? Funkyspyspy (talk) 09:00, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, and your point being? Btw, the updated map is shown here: http://www.lta.gov.sg/projects/images/mrt_map_big.gif - oahiyeel talk 14:12, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

text: The point is that this page has a note at the top from the Maps Task Force that the article needs a map.  Thanks for linking to a newer one.  Perhaps someone here knows how to add it to the article. Mcarling (talk) 21:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I see. But the main page now has the MRT system map, with the Circle line highlighted in orange. Does that qualify? I'm trying to create a route diagram as per North South/ East West Lines, but is a little busy lately.. Will put it up when it's done :) - oahiyeel talk 03:19, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I won't claim to know all the Maps Task Force rules, but in my opinion the map to which you linked would make an excellent addition to the Circle Line article.  If the same map is available without Stage 1 of the Downtown Line, that would be even better (for the Circle Line article). Mcarling (talk) 23:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure if that map I linked can be uploaded, due to copyright issues. We probably have to re-create one from scratch. - oahiyeel talk 02:44, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It might be easier to get permission from LTA to use the map than to create one from scratch.  Although someone here seems to enjoy making these schematic MRT maps.  Is that you? Mcarling (talk) 04:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: LTA grants permission to use its maps, but only if you pay S$10 and sign an agreement with a raft of conditions totally incompatible with open licensing.   So, no, we can't use them on Wikipedia. Jpatokal (talk) 07:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Nope, i wasn't the one who made the maps. It's User:Advanced. I could try though. :) - oahiyeel talk 10:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ideally, a map for the Circle Line article would look very similar to the one you linked to, except without Stage 1 of the Downtown Line.  The legend could be in a different corner to make it obvious it's not a copy of an LTA map.  It would be great if someone could make such a map and we could get rid of the note from the Maps Task Force at the top of the article. Mcarling (talk) 01:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there any evidence that a Marina Bay Extension is planned?  The link cited in the article http://www.lta.gov.sg/tender_info/notice/tenders_notice_nov07_901qp.htm does not even hint at a Marina Bay Extension.  I can't find anything official to support it.  It seems to be an urban legend. Mcarling (talk) 04:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is confirmed. You may see https://app-pac.mica.gov.sg/data/vddp/embargo/6260896.htm , point 22. Also in the link above it is stated "...Construction and Completion of Circle Line (CCL) Marina Bay Station..." As for the bayfront station, it has been announced. I can't find the actual announcement, but u may see this map by the LTA: http://www.lta.gov.sg/images/DTL_27Apr07.pdf :) - oahiyeel talk 04:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks! Mcarling (talk) 09:13, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

text: The obvious place to locate a station between Marina Bay and HarbourFront (closing the circle) would be the site of the existing Tanjong Pagar KTM station.  Perhaps construction of an MRT station can be used to force Malaysia to comply with their agreement to close the KTM station. Mcarling (talk) 09:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

message: For all the articles of the Circle Line stations that were already open, I feel that the date should not be stated in the paragraph, as there is already information in the infobox.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There's a sentence in "Circle Line Stage 6" subsection where boldface is used but it creates a bit of mess because a quotation mark is also rendered as bold. To fix that, I suggest using another formatting option. So 'Circle Line stage 6' can be fixed this way: 'Circle Line '
In addition to that, I request some other improvements:
1. Removing an extra dot in a lead sentence: ...world's longest driverless rapid transit lines.[1]. -> ...world's longest driverless rapid transit lines.[1]
2. Adding a comma: Currently all 24 C830Cs are in revenue service. -> Currently, all 24 C830Cs are in revenue service.
3. Adding an article: ...and expand rail network to the southern edge of The Central Business District. -> and expand the rail network to the southern edge of The Central Business District.
