Kranji MRT Station (NS7) is an above-ground station along the North South Line (NSL). It is located along Woodlands Road, next to Singapore Turf Club. Originally left out of North South Line (Woodlands Extension) plans, the station was eventually built and opened along with other Woodlands Extension stations.

Located near Kranji Road and the Kranji Industrial Estate, these areas are named after the local Keranji tree (Velvet tamarind tree). The station also serves the Singapore Turf Club, Woodlands Wafer Fabrication Park, and is a transfer node for passengers heading to Johor Bahru via cross-border bus services.

    Why build Kranji MRT now? It’s in the middle of nowhere. Why didn’t build it during the future development?

    LTA should expand the bus bay even more for 170x & CW1 so that they don’t block the bus bays
