Location

Queenstown MRT Station (EW19) is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit station on the East West Line in Queenstown, Singapore. Its station colour is light blue.

A free shuttle service from this station serves the nearby Alexandra Hospital.

When the MRT network commenced operations in 1987, Queenstown as with all above-ground stations had no physical barriers between the platforms and tracks. Following numerous incidents of commuters falling on the tracks and unauthorized intrusions, the Land Transport Authority made the decision in 2008 to install half height platform screen doors for all above-ground stations in phases. The screen doors have been installed in January 2011 and started operations on 28 April 2011 together with Commonwealth.

This station was installed with MJ Air Tech High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) Pro-Jet fans and have been operational since 11 September 2012 together with Eunos.

Together with Commonwealth and Clementi stations, this station will see the construction of an additional pedestrian link bridge linking the station to two new exits, one on each side of the road. The exits will be equipped with fare gates and ticketing machines. Construction started in mid-2012 and opened on August 23, 2015, together with Commonwealth.
