Caldecott MRT station
CCL · TEL · CC17 / TE9
Caldecott station in detail
Caldecott takes its name from Caldecott Hill, which has been the traditional home of Singapore's broadcasting industry since the 1970s, when Radio and Television Singapore — the forerunner of today's Mediacorp — set up studios on the rise above the station. The Circle Line and Thomson-East Coast Line meet here on a shared concourse, making it a useful interchange for anyone travelling between the eastern loop and the Thomson corridor towards Woodlands or Orchard. Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and the northern edge of MacRitchie Reservoir are both within a short walk or bus ride, giving Caldecott a quieter, greener character than most stations further into town.
Changing lines here is free. You stay inside the paid area and the fare is worked out once, from the distance of your whole journey.
