Location
Woodlands MRT Station

Woodlands MRT Station (NS9) is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit train station on the North South Line in Singapore. It is integrated together with the Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange located beneath the station and also Causeway Point Shopping Centre, which serves as a major shopping centre for residents living in Woodlands Neighbourhoods 1, 3, 5 and 8. Woodlands Civic Centre, the new Republic Polytechnic, Singapore Sports School and Innova Junior College are within the vicinity of the station. Skyscrapers from Johor Bahru are visible from the station.

The centre of the station housed a 15 m high sculpture called Faces II weighing 4,000 kg, which has since been shifted to the space in front of the entrance of Causeway Point Shopping Centre. This sculpture is designed by Singaporean artist Min Chen but is not under the Art in Transit scheme. This is one of the 4 MRT stations to appear in the original Singapore Edition of Monopoly and one of the stations along the Woodlands Extension when it was built.

Thomson Line

On June 16, 2011, LTA confirmed that Woodlands MRT Station will be an interchange station with the future fully underground Thomson MRT Line. It will be completed by 2018. Also, when the Thomson MRT Line opens in 2018, this station will be the 5th station which interchanges between an above ground and an underground station after Paya Lebar MRT Station, Buona Vista MRT Station, Expo MRT Station and Tampines MRT Station, making Woodlands MRT Station the only such station on the North South Line.

Platform Screen Doors

As with most of the above-ground stations built in the past along the North South Line, it was initially built without Platform Screen Doors that prevent commuters from falling onto the train tracks. On 17 September 2011, the installation of the platform doors begins. On 30 November 2011, the platform screen doors began operations.

2007 Accidents

A lady had her legs injured when she got knocked down by a SMRT Train that was travelling towards Jurong East MRT Station and trains from Admiralty MRT Station to Kranji MRT Station were affected on 2 March 2007. It was reported that 2900 passengers were affected by the accident and buses were utilized to ferry the affected passengers. The time of incident was at 3:20pm.

About 38 days from the first accident, an office worker was injured after being hit on the head while on the platform by an oncoming train heading towards Jurong East MRT Station on 9 April 2007. Apparently, he was engrossed in reading his newspapers that he walked over the yellow line even before the train stopped. Service from Woodlands to Jurong East stations was affected that morning for 20 minutes and the service resumed operations right after the victim was sent to a hospital by paramedics. The time of incident was at 7:35am.
