Until 2025, the section of tracks between Hillview station and Beauty World MRT station was the longest between any two MRT stations on the Downtown Line. There used to be basic structural provisions for a future station (also known as a "box station") along this section of tracks near Hume Avenue.[9] Hume MRT station was confirmed on 7 March 2019 and was opened for public commuters on 28 February 2025.
