Hume station in Singapore

Hume MRT station is a future underground Mass Rapid Transit station located along the junction of Hume Avenue and Upper Bukit Timah Road in the Hillview planning sub-zone of Bukit Batok, Singapore. It is an infill station and will be located near a number of Bukit Timah heritage sites: Bukit Timah Hill, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Former Bukit Timah Fire Station, Fuyong Estate, and Former Ford Factory.[1][2] The station will have two platforms and will be between Beauty World and Hillview stations on the Downtown line.

The new station is planned to open by 2025,[3] but MP Low Yen Ling has mentioned that construction work could start in the fourth quarter of 2020, with a veteran MRT contractor claiming that retrofitting of the station for operational service could take between "one and one-and-a-half years".[4][5] Construction of the station began on 28 February 2021.
