Phoenix LRT station (BP5) is an elevated Light Rail Transit (LRT) station on the Bukit Panjang LRT.

History

Train disruptions

An LRT train with 20 passengers crashed into an empty one at Phoenix station on 19 November 2000 after an operations officer failed to do a manual check of the lines before restarting the network system. The impact threw seated and standing passengers to the floor of the train, injuring five of them. The service was disrupted for seven hours but it was restored in stages and was fully functional again by 2.30 pm the same day. Then Communications and Information Technology Minister Yeo Cheow Tong visited the site soon after being told of the accident.

Etymology

The name is derived from Phoenix Heights, a name for a cluster of private low rise houses along one side of the station.
