Queenstown MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West line in Queenstown, Singapore. It is built on a traffic island along Commonwealth Avenue. The station is named after Queen Elizabeth II to mark her coronation in 1952.
The station was opened on 12 March 1988, as part of the extension of the MRT system from Outram Park to Clementi.[2] Half-height platform screen doors were installed in January 2011 and started operations on 28 April 2011 together with Commonwealth.[3]
The station was expanded starting mid-2012 and was opened on 23 August 2015 with a new overhead bridge and two new exits, the same day as Commonwealth MRT station.[4][5]
On 29 November 2010, a Chinese man in his 40s was knocked by an incoming train at about 8.15 pm, was found lying on the tracks below the last carriage and was pronounced dead by SCDF medics. Train services were disrupted for about 1 hour and were resumed at 9.15 pm.[6]
This MRT station consists of two elevated platforms in an Island Platform arrangement, where passengers heading towards the city, Raffles Place, City Hall, Changi Airport and Pasir Ris will board from Platform A and heading towards Jurong East, Joo Koon and Tuas Link will board from Platform B.
