Yio Chu Kang MRT Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yio Chu Kang MRT station (NS15), or YCK MRT for short, is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit station on the North South Line in Singapore.
The station's architecture design theme is about the same as Ang Mo Kio station, with brown granite walls and floors, except for the middle platform in Ang Mo Kio station, which this station does not have. This station serves students of neighbouring educational institutions, residents as well as workers at neighbouring industrial estates.

Yio Chu Kang used to be the terminus of the North South Line together with Toa Payoh when it first opened in 7 November 1987. Trains will terminate at Platform A before reversing and crossing over to the adjacent track.
In the early 1990s, Disney offered to build a theme park in the Lentor area, beside the Lower Seletar Reservoir. The station was to be between Khatib MRT Station and Yio Chu Kang MRT Station. SMRT was willing to build a station for the proposed theme park but unfortunately, talks between the Singapore government and the corporation fell through and the idea was shelved.
