Potong Pasir MRT station

Potong Pasir MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North East Line (NEL) in Toa Payoh planning area, Singapore. It is situated underneath Upper Serangoon Road at the junction with Potong Pasir Avenue 1 and Wan Tho Avenue. Primarily serving the Potong Pasir residential estate, Potong Pasir station is also close to Saint Andrew's Village, a major cluster of educational institutions that are part of the Saint Andrew's family of schools. The station was first announced as Sennett MRT station in March 1996 when the stations on the NEL were revealed, but was planned to be opened only when there was "sufficient demand". Its closure was a subject of political controversy, with allegations that the station would be opened only when the ruling party managed to take control of the electoral division containing it. In 2002, it was announced that Potong Pasir station would be opened along with the other NEL stations after a new study was conducted; it opened on 20 June 2003.
