Relocation of Malaysia railway station to Woodlands.

New development between Singapore and Malaysia government. After 20 years, both side have come to an agreement to free up the railway land (202ha) in Singapore. Currently, the land is owned by Malaysia.

Tanjong Pager Railway Station will cease operation by July 2011. The new station will be located at Woodlands  existing CIQ. I look forward to the station relocation. For years, I've be grumbling to myself. Whenever I need to take the train to Malaysia, I have to travel for more than 1 hour to get to Tg. Pagar Railway Station, another 1 hour for the train to travel back to Woodlands before entering Malaysia. Woodlands CIQ is 20mins from my house.

Travelling to Malaysia destination accessible by train would be more appealing now. I'm think of taking the train to Kluang to trek Belumut, Merapoh to trek Gunung Tahan, Dabong to trek Stong.
