On 10 February 2004, Marymount Road was temporarily closed for realignment works. The options for station names were 'Marymount' and 'Shunfu', and in the end Marymount was chosen. [2] This station was a terminus for the Circle line until the opening of the HarbourFront portion of the Circle line on 8 October 2011. Before Upper Thomson opened in 2021, this station was the nearest MRT station within the Thomson area.
