The timeline for constructing Punggol station was brought forward to serve the upcoming Punggol 21 developments.

Many who visited were impressed by the comfort and fast speed of the new line. However, two delays occurred on the opening day. A train, stalled between Boon Keng and Potong Pasir, had to be manually steered to Farrer Park. Another train failed to depart Dhoby Ghaut station, as its sensors mistakenly indicated that a set of doors remained open, and hence was pulled from service.
