About

Bishan Depot (Chinese: 碧山车厂) is a depot of the Mass Rapid Transit in Bishan, Singapore. It was completed in 1986 by American architect Vikas M. Gore and the 12,000 square metres maintenance area at a cost of S$300 million.

The depot comprises a storage yard with a capacity of 59 trains and an area of 300,000 m2. The depot also houses a central maintenance facility with train overhaul facilities and a supply of trains travelling on the North–South Line operated by SMRT. Bishan Depot previously provided maintenance work for the East–West Line, prior to the opening of the Tuas Depot. It also acts as a training centre for newly recruited staff, and is where the faregate operation department is located. The depot is located between Ang Mo Kio station and Bishan station on the North–South Line and has three reception tracks: two tracks northbound towards Ang Mo Kio station and one track southbound towards Bishan station.
