Description

Space: Nicoll Highway MRT Station
Time: 6th August 2011

-----

Probably the saddest station on the entire metro network of Singapore. The station was originally meant to be bigger and have provisions for another line running through it in the future; a major cave-in during the construction not only erased all those plans, but took 4 lives. One of them, a man known as Heng Yeow Peow. selflessly went back into the construction site after signs of trouble started to make sure everybody was safely evacuated, just before the whole thing caved in; his body was never recovered, and till now, it still lies somewhere near the station...

The whole station was moved to a new location nearby, delayed the opening of the entire metro line which it sits on by years, and the station now is nothing more than a mere glorified hole in the ground. Even during the daytime, within the station there is a sombre mood to it...
