Eunos MRT Station (EW7) is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit station on the East West Line in Singapore. It is located next to the Eunos Bus Interchange.

Contents

[edit] Design

The station is designed with a traditional Malay roof structure and shape, but using modern materials such as steel beams, similar to that of the Eunos Bus Interchange. This is to provide a sense of identity to the area, as Eunos bus interchange lies close to Geylang Serai and the Malay Village.

This station has a different style of architecture from other stations on the eastern part of the East West Line which feature white round semi-circle-shaped roofs.

[edit] Accidents

[edit] 2000 accident

On December 4, 2000, Monday at 8.15 am, a 70 year old Chinese man was run over by an east-bound train travelling at about 40kmh. Singapore Civil Defence Force paramedics found the man lying in a foetal position between the tracks. His face and head were covered with blood, his neck was fractured and his hands bruised. He was unconscious but still breathing when taken to Changi General Hospital, where he arrived at 9:10am but died about 15 minutes later.

MRT staff escorted the 600-odd commuters on the train off the platform at Eunos and cordoned off the part of the station where the incident happened. Voltage carried by the third rail adjoining one of the two rail tracks was shut off as a safety measure, just before rescue operations. East-bound services between Aljunied MRT Station to Tanah Merah MRT Station were suspended for about 40 minutes from 8:16am, but Eunos station remained open, so that city-bound traffic was unaffected during rush hour.

[edit] 2007 accident

On 23 January 2007, a man was knocked down by an east-bound train at this station, causing disruption of services from Aljunied MRT Station to Tanah Merah MRT Station.[1]
