[edit] History

The MRT station was opened on 10 March 1990. Previously, it was the terminus of the Branch Line. With the opening of the Woodlands extension on 10 February 1996, the branch line was incorporated into the North South Line. Terminating facilities for Marina Bay-bound trains are still present. The LRT station opened on 6 November 1999, on the opening day of the Bukit Panjang LRT line. The station was third one to have an Xchange after those in the underground Dhoby Ghaut and Raffles Place, making the station the first to have an Xchange above-ground and in a residential neighbourhood. Platform screen doors were installed since 26 August 2011 and commenced operation on 21 October 2011.
