History of Marymount MRT station

The station opened to passengers on 28 May 2009, together with the rest of Circle Line Stage 3, after the Nicoll Highway collapse had pushed back the original timetable. For more than two years it served as the end of the line, a role that ended on 8 October 2011 when the Circle Line was extended to HarbourFront. Its name was settled through a public consultation: although “Marymount” was not one of the listed options, most respondents asked for it because it was easier to recognise than suggestions such as “Shunfu” and “Pemimpin”.
