Can become part of harbourfron station. The whole line becomes a lrt that is part of the mrt system. This will be (NE1/CC29)-(SI1), RWS will be (SI1), Imbiah is (SI3) and Beach is (SI4)
As of 2024-04-17, the platform designations no longer exist.
However, should Sentosa Express want to bring them back, VivoCity-bound platforms should be designated as Platform A (including arrival platform at S1 VivoCity and departure platform at S4 Beach), while Beach-bound platforms should be designated as Platform B (including departure platform at S1 VivoCity and arrival platform at S4 Beach).
Unnecessary, but just some fruit for thought.
As of 1 April 2019, this station has been renamed to Vivocity station.
