[3] The station was built opposite Alexandra Road, serving the docks.

[4] As the line from Pasir Panjang station to Tank Road station did not generate enough revenue, it was closed to passenger traffic sometime before 1919, only carrying freight.

[5] As it was decided that Tank Road station was unfit to be the terminus of the line, it was decided that the Bukit Timah-Tank Road section of the line would be abandoned, and the line would instead deviate in between Bukit Panjang and Bukit Timah, travelling down a different route which ran along the west of the main town, to a new terminal station at Tanjong Pagar.

[6] Pasir Panjang station, as well as rest of the Tank Road-Pasir Panjang line was negotiated off to the Singapore Harbour Board, as some of the board's land was going to be used for the new terminal station.

[7] The station was closed sometime between 1929 and 1932, and was later replaced by Alexandra Halt railway station on the new railway line going to Tanjong Pagar.
