SINGAPORE – The Woodlands North MRT station, meant to connect to the delayed cross-border Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link between Singapore and Johor Bahru, welcomed visitors on Saturday (Jan 11) when Singapore’s newest MRT line opened for preview.
The MRT station will be adjacent to the RTS Link Station “if and when” it materialises, said Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan on Saturday.
He made the remarks as he opened up three stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) a few weeks before passenger service starts on Jan 31.
For now, people will be able to visit the Woodlands North, Woodlands and Woodlands South stations so that they can familiarise themselves with the various entrances and exits and amenities.
The Woodlands North station is among the biggest of the 32 stations on the new MRT line and was designed with the RTS Link in mind.
Mr Khaw said it was “sized accordingly, to accommodate the peak hour traffic travelling between Singapore and JB via the RTS Link”, and will be connected seamlessly to the RTS Link station at the basement concourse level.
