Draft:Tagore MRT Station

DO NOT PUBLISH THIS DRAFT UNTIL THE STATION IS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED

Tagore MRT station is a potential future underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Thomson–East Coast line (TEL) in Singapore. Situated along Tagore Drive, it is located near the Tagore Industrial Estate, between Springleaf and Lentor stations. The station may open in the future should there be sufficient future developments.

History
Tagore is a part of the Thomson–East Coast line and was constructed as part of contract T208, which also encompasses Springleaf station and the surrounding tunnels. The station was excavated using a bottom up construction technique. Construction began in 2014 and were completed in 2020.

Future
Presently there is little in the way of both residential or industrial near the station to justify it being open. According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority's Master Plan, the area around the current Tagore MRT station box has been designated as residential. Tagore and its surroundings are a part of the Ang Mo Kio planning area and there are plans that introducing new residential supply at Tagore will alleviate the housing needs of residents in the mature Ang Mo Kio town area. This will provide Tagore MRT will sufficient developments to justify the station being open.
