The five entrances of the station serve various developments such as Soo Chow Estate, Thomson Plaza and the Church of the Holy Spirit.

[8] On 15 August 2014, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced that TSL would merge with the ERL to form the TEL.

[13] This machine installed a series of interlocking underground pipes around the passageway,[12] allowing one side of the Upper Thomson Road to remain open as workers excavate the linkway.

[14] In December 2016, shops along Upper Thomson Road were affected by a flood, which severely impacted their businesses as their goods were damaged.

[17] On 14 December 2020, it was further announced that the opening of TEL 2 was delayed to the third quarter of 2021 so the rail system software for the line could be reviewed.

[28] The station is decorated by 88 animal figures, which are part of the Art-in-Transit artwork Lost in Our (Concrete) Jungle by Troy Chin.

[14] The artwork, primarily depicting long-tailed macaques, took inspiration from the nearby Central Catchment Nature Reserve.
