The '''North East MRT Line''' ('''NEL''') is the third [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|Mass Rapid Transit]] line in [[Singapore]]. The line is 20 km long with 16 stations and operated by [[SBS Transit]]. Travelling from one end of this line to the other end takes about half an hour.<ref>''[http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/transport/trpt_nel_travel.aspx Travel Time]'', [[SBS Transit]]</ref> This line is coloured purple in the rail map.
The line joins central Singapore to the north-eastern part of the island. Transfer to the [[North South MRT Line|North South Line]] is done at [[Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station|Dhoby Ghaut station]], [[East West MRT Line|East West Line]] at [[Outram Park MRT Station|Outram Park station]], [[Circle MRT Line|Circle Line]] at [[Serangoon MRT Station|Serangoon]] and [[Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station|Dhoby Ghaut]] and [[Downtown MRT Line]] at [[Chinatown MRT Station|Chinatown]] and [[Little India MRT Station|Little India stations]].
This line is the first MRT line in Singapore to be completely underground (running in a [[tunnel]] all the way between HarbourFront and Punggol). It is also the first (and so far, the only) line where trains get their power from [[Overhead lines|overhead wires]] above the track, instead of a [[third rail]] beside the track.
All the trains on the North East Line are [[automatic train operation|automated]] ([[computer]]-controlled) and do not have an operator driving the train at the front. It is one of the world's first [[rapid transit]] lines that does not need drivers and is one of three such lines in the MRT network today. The others are the Circle Line and the Downtown Line.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tsd.org/cbtc/projects/SIG_Singapore_AutomaticMetro_en.pdf|title=Singapore Northeast Line|publisher=[[Alstom]]|format=PDF}}</ref>
