Location
Kallang MRT Station

Kallang MRT Station (EW10) is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit station on the East West MRT Line in Singapore. It is located just next to the Kallang River, which is famous for its water sports, and serves the urban planning area of Kallang. Its livery is bright yellow.

The station is within the vicinity of Boon Keng MRT Station, Stadium MRT Station and the planned Kallang Bahru MRT Station. This station is next to the Lorong 1 Geylang Bus Terminal and near to Kallang Riverside Park.

In the past, when the Stadium MRT Station was under construction, Kallang MRT Station would be crowded with people, when either the Singapore Indoor Stadium or the National Stadium had an event.

During lunch time hours from 12pm to 2pm on weekdays except public holidays, a lunch time services pass by this station, starting from Outram Park MRT Station and ends at Aljunied MRT Station. This is the second last station of the lunch time trains.

Incidents

2005 accident

On 28 December 2005, a thirty-two-year-old Indian man died within minutes after he fell onto the tracks and was subsequently hit by an oncoming west-bound train. The incident occurred at about 3 pm and disrupted train services heading towards Boon Lay for 50 minutes. 4000 passengers had their trips disrupted. The man is believed to have jumped to his death.

2011 train disruption

On Oct 14 2011, some 6,500 commuters were affected by a train delay along the East-West MRT line on Friday evening. An SMRT spokesperson said a westbound train at Kallang MRT Station encountered a train fault and had to be taken out of service at 5.50pm. Westbound train service between Kallang and Bugis were disrupted for 20 minutes. Trains were turned around at Bugis and Eunos.

Platform Screen Doors

As with most of the above-ground stations along the East West Line, it was initially built without Platform Screen Doors to prevent commuters from falling onto the train tracks. Installation of Half-Height Platform Screen Doors was started on 19th Dec 2010 and started operation on 25 Feb 2011 with Kembangan.
