 Tanah Merah MRT Station (EW4), Singapore
Tanah Merah MRT Station (EW4) is an above-ground station on the East West Line of the Singapore MRT. The station opened on 4 November, 1989. It is located between the Simei MRT Station (EW3) and Bedok MRT Station (EW5).
The Tanah Merah MRT Station has two island platforms with a total of three tracks. This is an interchange station where the East West Line forks, with one branch going to Changi Airport.
The Tanah Merah MRT Station was initially not intended to open when the line went into operations in 1990. This is due to low population density in the surrounding neighbourhood. However, public pressure eventually forced the operator SMRT to operate the station. This is the case that repeated itself with the Buangkok station a decade later.
