Marina Bay MRT station is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the North South (NSL), Circle (CCL) and Thomson–East Coast (TEL) lines in Singapore. Located in the Downtown Core district near Marina Bay, it serves the Marina One Residences, Marina Bay Suites and the Marina Bay Financial Centre. It was one of the last stations to be completed in the early phases of the MRT network, opening on 4 November 1989. The station was the terminus of the NSL until the line's extension in 2014. It became an interchange station with the CCL when the two-station branch extension from Promenade station was completed in January 2012. The TEL station platforms were completed in November 2022, becoming a triple-line interchange on the MRT network. The station features art as part of the MRT network's Art-in-Transit programme. The sculpture Flowers in Blossom II is over the CCL mezzanine. The CCL platforms feature photographs by Nah Yong En and the TEL station features murals by Tang Ling Nah. (Full article...)

- Reasons for nomination: 35th anniversary of opening. I'm not thrilled with the image and am open to suggestions on other images.
- Support as nominator. Z1720 (talk) 16:39, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- I might recommend using the Reflecting pool image. Btw, truthfully I'm not thrilled at all with this article, despite it being one of my best recent works. It is a triple interchange but isn't a major station and didn't saw much use presently, but I decided to work on this ever since TEL 3 opening (it was previously a GA). I'm usually more proud of articles I work on that have more prominent content.--ZKang123 (talk) 01:37, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- I saw that the date request moved to Nov 3, probably because of time zones. WP:TFAP does list another article nomination for that date, so this might have to be bumped back to Nov. 4. While maybe not the most prominent, TFA does have a shortage of transit articles, which makes stations such as these more likely to get scheduled, and I'd rather that this ran on a date of significance to the article. I don't mind switching the image to the reflecting pool. Z1720 (talk) 19:31, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oops, definitely should've been checking this page sooner (as the requester for that other FA). I'd be fine with running on the 4th, though. Will request shortly. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:45, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think what Z1720 was suggesting was: Marina Bay was supposed to be put for TFA on the 4th, but on WP:TFAR it is listed as 3rd for some reason. However, because the 1964 election article (Elli's article) was already placed on WP:TFAP for the 3rd, Marina Bay would still be pushed back to being TFA on the 4th, and the election article will go on the 3rd. (Z1720 do correct me if I'm wrong).
On another note, I took an updated image of the reflecting pool from a similar angle (at File:(SGP-Singapore) Marina Bay MRT Station Exit 2 2024-08-23.jpg). I asked ZKang on his opinion and he said "Looks ok I guess". Didn't put this on the article though so as not to interfere with the request (since the other reflecting pool image is already linked here), but now that I'm here I thought I'd ask about your opinions on whether to swap to the one I linked. S5A-0043Talk 13:48, 24 September 2024 (UTC)- Oh, I see. Yeah, that would definitely be preferable. I've put my request in for the 4th below, but would be happy with swapping the dates.
