HarbourFront MRT Station (NE1/CC29) is an underground interchange station along the North East Line (NEL) and Circle Line (CCL) Stage 5, serving as the terminating station of both lines. It is built underneath Telok Blangah Road and adjacent to the VivoCity and HarbourFront Centre developments.
Formerly to be known as World Trade Centre station, the station and surrounding area were renamed to HarbourFront in the wake of the September 2001 terrorist attacks and in tandem with the demolition of exhibition halls. The name characterizes HarbourFront as a gateway to Keppel Harbour, lined with waterfront developments.
HarbourFront station serves the VivoCity shopping centre, nearby office buildings and is also a gateway for visitors heading for Sentosa Island and HarbourFront Cruise Terminal. Bus services are offered from the HarbourFront Bus Interchange in addition to many bus services along Telok Blangah Road.
Outside of the rail network, the separate Sentosa Express monorail also operates out of HarbourFront. Commuters should proceed to VivoCity Level 3 ( S1 VivoCity station) for monorail connections.

Passenger Usage Patterns

Serving commuters in and out of the popular Sentosa and HarbourFront areas, passenger traffic through this station is high throughout the day.
Construction
North East Line Contract 711 for the construction and completion of World Trade Centre station and associated tunnels was awarded to Korean company Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. The working name for HarbourFront station was World Trade Centre Station.
Circle Line Stage 5 (CCL5) Contract C856 for the construction of West Coast, Pasir Panjang, Alexandra, Telok Blangah and HarbourFront stations and associated tunnels was awarded to local company Sembawang Engineers & Constructors Pte Ltd.
LTA spent S$8.2 million to extend the North East Line’s overrun tunnel by 48 metres to facilitate faster train turnarounds. Works were awarded to Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co (Singapore) under Contract 713, and completed by end-2014.

I guess Platform A at the CCL Harbourfront Station will allow boarding when CCL Stage 6 opens.
I say that station NE2 must be built between this station and Outram Park station. Then call it Kampong Bahru ter and can extend the “9th line” to terminate there
