Location
Marsiling MRT Station

Marsiling MRT Station (NS8) is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit station on the North South Line in Singapore. It serves residents living in Woodlands, Singapore Neighbourhoods 1 to 4. Because of the station's proximity to neighbouring Housing and Development Board apartment blocks, a privacy screen has been built along the tracks at the side of the station facing these apartment blocks so as to ensure the privacy of the residents.

This station was part of the Woodlands Extension when it was built.
