Redirected page to Sengkang LRT line #Stations - a BEFORE search turns up only fan sites, Wikipedia mirrors, maps, property/business listings, and passing mentions, while news and books that mention the station only do so in passing (with regard to the line, properties near the station, etc.) The article's current content is also either irrelevant (opening of Seletar Mall) or non-notable (side platforms), so I cannot establish notability for the station

'''Fernvale LRT station (SW5)''' is an LRT station on the [[Sengkang LRT line]] West Loop in [[Fernvale, Singapore|Fernvale]], [[Singapore]], next to The Seletar Mall near the junction of Fernvale Road and Sengkang West Avenue. It was opened on 29 January 2005 together with the [[Punggol LRT line|Punggol LRT]] East Loop.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sbstransit.com.sg/press/2005jan_24-1.aspx|title=Opening of Punggol LRT (East Loop) and Sengkang LRT (West Loop) |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=24 January 2005 |publisher=SBS Transit |access-date=7 September 2017 |quote=}}</ref> Like [[Dover MRT station|Dover]] MRT station on the [[East West MRT line|East West line]], this station is one of few above ground stations that has two opposing side platforms. This station has a similar design to [[Sam Kee LRT station]] as it is not built on a road median. A major mall beside the station, [[Seletar Mall|The Seletar Mall]], opened its doors to the public on 28 November 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://business.asiaone.com/news/the-seletar-mall-set-open-nov-28|title=The Seletar Mall set to open on Nov 28 | publisher=AsiaOne| accessdate=29 November 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/seletar-mall-set-jazz-sengkang|title=Seletar Mall set to jazz up Sengkang|publisher=AsiaOne|accessdate=29 November 2014}}</ref>

This station is the only station on the Sengkang/[[Punggol LRT line]] to have side platforms, and hence has a similar design to all regular [[Bukit Panjang LRT line|Bukit Panjang LRT]] stations.
