Kranji MRT Station (NS7) is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train station on the North South Line in Singapore. This station also serves workers of nearby industrial estates which is Sungei Kadut. There were initial plans for a KTM railway station to be located near the station, to serve passengers travelling to and from Johor Bahru and the rest of Peninsula Malaysia. This proposal has since been shelved due to the fall-out from the Point of Agreement signed with Malaysia in 1990. Because of the station's proximity to the Singapore Turf Club, a large number of fare gates have been installed at this station to facilitate quick passenger entry and exit on race days. This is despite the station being located in a relatively undeveloped area.

Train services

The last northbound train departing from Marina Bay will terminate at Platform A when the MRT operation comes to a close to do a withdrawal.

Train disruption

Trains were disrupted on 4 October 2002 from 4.44 pm to 6.10 pm when a train officer noted thick smoke coming up from a factory located near the viaduct in between Yew Tee and Kranji stations. As a precaution, services were halted and the SCDF was alerted. At 6.10 pm, services were resumed when SCDF and the technical staff gave the all clear.
