Five stations on three MRT lines lie within about 1.3 kilometres of Thomson Eight in a straight line, and the closest of them, Mount Pleasant, will open together with the new housing estate beside it.
Thomson Eight and the Thomson-East Coast Line
Mount Pleasant station (TE10), at 14 Denham Road, is the nearest to the site, about 0.7 kilometres away in a straight line. Built as part of the Thomson-East Coast Line, it will open in tandem with the housing developments around it, as the Ministry of Transport set out in January 2022.
That housing is now under way. HDB is building about 6,000 flats on the former Police Academy site at Mount Pleasant, and the station will serve the new estate and its neighbours, Thomson Eight among them.
Caldecott, about 0.8 kilometres away, is already open on the same line as TE9, and it is also an interchange with the Circle Line (CC17). From there the Thomson-East Coast Line runs north towards Upper Thomson and Woodlands, and south through Stevens, Orchard and the city to the east coast.
