Redhill MRT Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Redhill MRT Station (EW18) is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit station on the East West MRT Line in Singapore. This is the last above-ground station until Kallang MRT Station: east of the station toward Tiong Bahru, the tracks lose elevation until they level out when sufficiently underground. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid the tracks intruding on denser development and buildings located in the Central Area as the MRT lines approach it. Redhill MRT station is the smallest station in the entire MRT System, and is the only station in which the two platforms are not parallel to each other.
[edit] 2004 accident
On 31 August 2004, a lady in her 40s was hit by a train after she fell on to the tracks. She suffered head injuries and was sent to the Singapore General Hospital. This incident took place just hours after another train hit another lady in her 50s earlier in the day at Bukit Batok MRT Station. [1]
