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 station and Bukit Timah station, travelling down a different route which ran along the west of the main town, to a new terminal station at Tanjong Pagar,[3] with a new station being built at Bukit Timah, and two new stations at Tanglin and Alexandra.[1] Alexandra Halt railway station was opened to the public on 3 May 1932 as one of four new stations on the new route of the Singapore-Kranji railway,[1][4][5] along Alexandra Road.[6] Besides being a stopping place for trains travelling on the railway,[1] the station also serviced the areas surrounding the Alexandra Barracks.[6]
The station was abandoned and demolished by 1943, likely due to the fact the Tanglin station had instead replaced Alexandra Halt as a halt on the railway line.[2]
