Train Service Adjustments

To improve commuter service and strengthen the reliability and resilience of our transport system, temporary train service adjustments are needed for renewal and expansion works. 

These adjustments have been carefully planned to ensure that commuters will always have access to alternative rail routes and bus services where possible. Commuters are advised to plan their journeys in advance and expect additional travelling time. 

Please refer to LTA's MyTransport.SG mobile app and LTA’s and the public transport operators’ social media platforms for more details and updates.

Line: Circle Line (CCL)

When? From 5 September to 28 December 2025*, train services at all CCL stations will:

• end earlier at 11PM on Fridays and Saturdays
• start later at 9AM on Saturdays and Sundays

*Service adjustments will exclude the following weekends:

• 3 to 5 October
• 28 to 30 November
• 5 to 7 December

Why? This is to facilitate systems integration testing in preparation for the opening of the CCL Stage 6.

How can I continue my journey? Commuters affected by the late opening can take the provided shuttle bus services from 5AM to 9AM. 

• Shuttle 36 will run between HarbourFront and Bishan stations (intervals of 7 to 10 mins)
• Shuttle 37 will run between Bishan and Promenade stations (intervals of 3 to 5 mins)

Line: Circle Line (CCL)

When? From 17 January to 19 April 2026, CCL trains between Mountbatten to Paya Lebar stations will operate from one platform only. A shuttle train will serve these stations.

There will also be service adjustments along the CCL:

• Peak-hour headways between HarbourFront and Paya Lebar will be 3 mins,
• Headways for CCL shuttle trains between Paya Lebar and Mountbatten stations will be 10 minutes, and
• Headways between Mountbatten and Dhoby Ghaut/Marina Bay will be 10 mins.

Why? The service adjustments are needed for precautionary tunnel strengthening works. 

How can I continue my journey? Commuters travelling past these stations will need to alight from their regular train at Paya Lebar (if coming down from MacPherson) or at Mountbatten (if coming up from Stadium station), cross the platform and take the shuttle train connecting to the Mountbatten to Paya Lebar stretch to continue along the Circle Line. 

During weekday peak hours, CCL interchange stations are expected to be crowded during morning and evening peak periods. Shuttle bus services will be provided to supplement CCL train services. These services will commence on 5 January, about a week before the start of the tunnel closure, so that commuters can familiarise themselves with a new travel route. 

• Shuttle 38 between Paya Lebar and Stadium stations, operating between 6.30am to 9.30 am and 5pm to 8pm, at headways of 6 to 10 minutes; 
• One-way Shuttle 37A from Serangoon MRT station to Tai Seng, Macpherson and Paya Lebar stations in the morning from 7am to 9am at headways of about 3 to 5 minutes; 
• One-way Shuttle 37B from Tai Seng MRT station to Bishan MRT station from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at headways of about 3 to 5 minutes; and 
• One-way Shuttle 37C from Tai Seng MRT station to Serangoon MRT station from 5.00pm to 7.30pm at headways of about 3 to 5 minutes.

Line: Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT)

When? BPLRT will be closed for a full day on 25 January 2026 (Sunday).

Why? This is for BPLRT renewal works as we migrate systems from the interim Operations Control Centre to our refurbished Operations Control Centre.

How can I continue my journey? Commuters can take existing bus services or LRT Shuttle B which will ply in the direction of BPLRT Service B, every 5-15 minutes.
