Thanggam LRT station (SW4) is an LRT station on the Sengkang LRT Line West Loop in Singapore. It was opened in January 2005 together with the Punggol LRT East Loop. It is operated by SBS Transit.

Despite the station being part of Sengkang LRT, the station is located nearer to Jalan Kayu, famous for its roti prata, than to Sengkang itself.

[edit] Etymology
