Orchard MRT Station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Orchard MRT Station (NS22) is located on the North South Line of the Mass Rapid Transit and is located along Orchard Road, Singapore. Some of its platform livery is maroon in colour.

Passenger traffic at this station is extremely high, especially during weekend and festive periods. On the evening of 31 December 1999, trains had to skip this station so as to relieve the overcrowding in the station during the Millennium Celebrations.
