Station Structure

An island platform is used for Line 1 trains. Line 1 trains can access the Bishan Metro Depot by using the railway junction. The station acts as a reversing station using its scissors crossover for trains to switch direction as their service to Bishan terminates.

Future Development

It will be an interchange station between Line 1 and Line S2 (Bitong Line) in 2023. Line 27 is also under planning.
