[1] In October 1912, the station's ticket-stamping machine had to be replaced, as it was stolen for an unknown reason.

[5] 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.

[6] 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.

[7] 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.

[1] As of 2022, the former site of the railway station is being occupied by the Pearl Hill Care Home.
