Tanah Merah - 920 New Upper Changi Rd

Typical MRT station but with 3 platforms. Instead of sharing platforms for both Pasir Ris and Changi Airport directions, the middle platform is being used and now they're building one more platform. There isn't a need for extra platforms, more tracks can be built and used to facilitate a higher number of trains that passes through the station

Today it's even crazier... All 4 internal escalator are going up.... Typically it's 2 going up And 2 going down... But today??? Just ridiculous...

I love This place,nice place

This is an important junction for the East-West line and the Changi airport line. Currently there's a Cheers convenience store. As of 2020 and 2021, there's significant construction going on around here. Looking forward in additional functionality of this mrt station in due time.

Not up to the standards of usual MRT stations, and I always wonder why. Facilities are old and need a lot of improvement.

It's a transit for travellers going to expo and changi airport. Note that if you want to go to the east or west you will need to go to a different platform on level 2, they are not connected on level 2. You will have to go down to level 1 to cross over to another platform. To board the train to expo or changi airport, either platform is fine as the train track is in the middle. Please note that there is no more 7-11 here. It has been closed down. Edit: Cheers replaced 7-11.

Tanah Merah MRT Walking from D'manor terraced house along Tanah Merah Kechil Avenue and Optima condominium before arriving Tanah Merah Mrt The Mrt is an above-ground station along the East West Line (EWL) while serving as the transfer station with the EWL’s Changi Airport Branch line. It is located at the boundaries of the Bedok North and Bedok South planning subzones, and is built along New Upper Changi Road, between the junctions of Bedok South Avenue 3 and Bedok Road. The station name, which means red earth in Malay, is derived from the red lateritic cliffs along the coast that were once visible from the sea (most of which were leveled into the sea for land reclamation works) . The station serves the Tanah Merah area, a hilly residential area with many condominiums, private houses and a few schools. Tanah Merah station offers a cross-platform interchange between mainline East West Line train services and Changi Airport Branch line services to Changi Airport which use the middle track. The station will also benefit from a future expansion with a new platform by Year 2024. A S$325 million project to add a new platform and viaducts at Tanah Merah MRT station by 2024 will lead to shorter waiting times for commuters and greater access to Expo and Changi Airport.

This is a convenient station as it is a transfer station to Expo and Changi Airport (CGL) This is similar like the Promenade Station in the Circle Line (yellow) where it is a transfer station to Bayfront and Marina Bay plus a Downtown line transfer as well!
