Thomson MRT Station (CC17), is an MRT station on Circle MRT Line (in Singapore). When the Circle Line was initially planned, this station was only planned as a shell station and will be topped up and opened only when the surroundings are more developed. However, it will now open with the rest of Stage 4 as there are more developments in the area. cite web| url=https://app-pac.mica.gov.sg/data/vddp/embargo/6260896.htm | title=SPEECH BY MR RAYMOND LIM,MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT, AT THE VISIT TO KIM CHUAN DEPOT, 25 JANUARY 2008, 9.00 AM | publisher=Singapore Government Media Release | date=2008-01-25 ] However unlike its namesake it is much closer to Toa Payoh Lorong 1 than the Thomson estate. It is situated on Toa Payoh Rise, a road on a hill that links Toa Payoh and Thomson estates which also forms the Toa Payoh West and Thomson sub-constituency of the Bishan-Toa Payoh Electoral Constituency. It is a 10 minute walk from Braddell MRT Station. Thomson MRT Station is expected to be an interchange with the planned 18-station Thomson MRT Line, to be opened in 2018.
