Cochrane MRT station

The Cochrane station is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) underground station in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, opened on 17 July 2017 as the second phase of the MRT SBK line. It will serve as one of the stations on the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line.

History

Cochrane MRT station is located along and lends its name from Cochrane Road, which in turn is named after C.W.H. Cochrane (1876 - 1932), the 17th British Resident of Perak and the Chief Secretary to the Government of the Federated Malay States from 1929 to 1930.

The station is partly located on the site of the former Jalan Cochrane government quarters. Across Jalan Cochrane is the MyTOWN Shopping Centre, opened in March 2017, and IKEA Cheras, which is IKEA's second store in the country. An underpass is currently being built from the MRT station to the lower ground floor of MyTOWN Shopping Centre.

Possibly as a nod to IKEA's location across the road from the station, the interior theme for Cochrane station is chosen as Urban Living.
