Yio Chu Kang MRT Station

Yio Chu Kang MRT Station (NS15) is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit station on the North South Line in Singapore. The station's architecture design theme is similar to Ang Mo Kio, with brown granite walls and floors. This station serves students of neighbouring educational institutions, residents as well as workers at neighbouring industrial estates. Yio Chu Kang used to be the northern terminus of the North South Line when it first opened in 7 November 1987. Trains terminated at Platform A before reversing and crossing over to the adjacent track.

Installations of the half-height screen doors started on 15 August 2011, and began operation on 18 October 2011.

Track incursion
On 3 March 2003, a 23-year old drove his car onto an MRT track off Lentor Avenue, in the sector between Yio Chu Kang and Khatib, the first accident of its kind in the 15 years of MRT operations in Singapore. The accident occurred when the car, which was travelling at 87 km/h along Lentor Avenue – the speed limit was 70 km/h – mounted an 18 cm kerb, crossed 6 m of grass verge (inclusive of a 1.5 m wide pavement), jumped over a 1.5 m drain, went through a fence 2 m away from the track, and went uphill onto a steep stone embankment before landing on the track. Witnesses tried to remove the car from the tracks to prevent a possible collision, however an oncoming train from Yio Chu Kang stopped their efforts. One of the witnesses signalled the train driver to stop. Although the train driver was not able to stop in time, he was able to slow the train down enough to prevent derailment.

Station installed with Rite Hite Revolution High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) fans and in operations since 24 August 2012.
