There’s an old station next to One North? There used to be factories near Portsdown Road which might explain the need for a station there.

Hi I was interested to hear you’re collecting old station photos as I’ve seen some on heritage sites on the internet as well as visiting the ones that are left in the past month. I have a map of Singapore bought in the 1980’s which shows KTM tracks with the old branch lines, including one from Buona Vista to the current AYE. I’m trying to find out more about this after seeing what looks like an old station next to One North a couple of weeks ago. Barbara

No worries! Didn’t think of the geographical factor… Hmmm.

Thanks for using my photo, miyagi.

The explanation by NHB may be correct but unconvincing. How did the Halt get its name from a road that is more than two MRT stops away? Even the name ‘Great Eastern Hills’ is strange, so the point of reference must be west of Tanglin then, but what? Bukit Timah Hill? lol

Interesting — thanks for finding that. I’ve started collecting old photos of former railway stations in Singapore. Just got one of Newton Railway Station. There’s also Tank Road Station and Bukit Timah Station. Now to find an old railway map.
