There have been some welcome updates since the last visit of end Dec20. Proper stairs have been included for ease of access from the road side and the beautifully renovated station and staff quarters/cafe were quite the uplift to the area. It retained the rustic charm yet modernized it a little.There's also a nice lavatory installed on the premises.

The Old Bukit Timah Railway was once owned by Keretapi Tanah Melayu and opened in 1903. The station was a freight interchange for the currently inoperative Jurong Line from 1965 -1990s.

It is a nice throwback to reminisce a simpler time and is one of the more popular landmarks along the Green Corridor, an on going master plan by Nparks to link up the three national gardens in the near future.

The Green Corridor stretches an impressive 24km and will offer a shared path with cyclist and pedestrians/hikers to enjoy a leisurely paved walking trail through the forest. The landscape along the entire route will be carefully planned with flora to complement the existing vegetation. We barely explored but a small section of it am have encountered lots of birds, insects and animals along the way.

The full walk starts from Woodlands Train Checkpoint and ends at Tanjong Pagar Railway Station.
