Location

Woodleigh MRT Station (NE11) is located on the North East Line on Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit system. The station is fully underground and not in operation yet. It will only open when there is more development in the vicinity. It is located on part of the former Bidadari Cemetery. Currently, it is the only fully-completed MRT station in the entire system to be non-operational and is excluded from all MRT maps. The Art In Transit artwork in this station is listed as Slow Motion by April Ng Kiow Ngor, but it remains unclear when the public can get to enjoy it.

It is estimated that if the station was opened, its daily ridership would still be under the 2,000 general benchmark deemed necessary for a station to make economic sense to operate. SBS Transit has indicated that the station will open when the Stamford American International School opens in August 2011.^[1]

Published information in the Singapore Master Plan as well as several reports in the newspapers have mentioned a planned major housing project where the former Bidadari Cemetery sat and may trigger the opening of the station.

Currently, existing nearby condominiums include Avon Park, Euro-Asia Park and Blossoms at Woodleigh. There are also several new condominium projects under development in the area including, Parc Mondrian on Woodleigh Close and 8@Woodleigh. Other buildings around it include a Salvation Army stockhouse, and a few shophouses.

The station enjoys close proximity to several reputable schools such as Saint Andrew's School, Cedar Primary School, Cedar Girls' Secondary School and Maris Stella High School. The CTE/PIE and Potong Pasir MRT station are just minutes away, allowing quick and easy access to the city and CBD. Mount Vernon, which is nearby, houses a the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Mount Vernon Camp.
