Woodlands MRT station (NS9/TE2) is a busy train station in Woodlands, Singapore. It is part of Singapore's MRT system. This station is special because it serves two different train lines: the North South Line and the Thomson–East Coast Line. You can find it right next to the Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange and a big shopping mall called Causeway Point.
