Farrer Park MRT station has two platforms in an island platform configuration, with trains running in both directions using both platforms. The air-conditioned station is isolated from the tunnel environment by full-height Platform screen doors, which improve commuter safety and station comfort. Because the concourse level extends around the platform, the ceiling is two stories high at the platform level. The concourse is accessible through escalators, stairs, and elevators.
Expected train arrival times and dominant messages get shown on Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display panels positioned at each platform. Tactile flooring aids the sight-impaired in getting from the platform to the station exits.
Concourse:
The concourse has fare gates for automatic fee collection passage between the station’s paid and unpaid portions, with at least one bidirectional wide-swinging gate for passengers in wheelchairs, carrying heavy objects, or those traveling with prams. A free corridor connects the station’s two ends, allowing people to go between exits without using the railway system. Commuters can buy tickets for single or many travels from General Ticketing Machines that accept contactless card transactions, just like Top-up Machines. The station office serves as a Passenger Service Centre, where commuters may inquire about travel options, During operational hours.
Art in Transit
Farrer Park is known for the location of Singapore’s first horse racing turf club, from whence the street name ‘Old Racecourse Road’ comes. With the Horse Racing and Soccer series of artworks named Rhythmic Exuberance by Singapore artist Poh Siew Wah, Farrer Park’s interior design reflected the essence of the locality’s athletic legacy. Poh’s artwork Aviation pays homage to the first airplane landing in Singapore, which took place on Old Racecourse Road in Farrer Park in 1911.
