The Johor Bahru Railway Station (Malay: Stesen Keretapi Johor Bahru) was a Malaysian inter-city railway station located in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. It was closed and replaced by the new Johor Bahru Sentral railway station of the Southern Integrated Gateway project on 21 October 2010.
Border control post
As Johor Bahru railway station was situated next to the Johor–Singapore Causeway at the Malaysia–Singapore border, it was designated by law as the Malaysian customs and immigration control post for railway traffic to and from Singapore. However, immigration facilities were available only for southbound passengers heading towards Singapore. The border control post was transferred to Johor Bahru Sentral railway station when it opened on 21 October 2010.
Northbound passengers from Singapore cleared Malaysian Customs and Immigration before boarding the train at Tanjong Pagar railway station in central Singapore until 30 June 2011, when the station ceased operations and Malaysian northbound rail border control post relocated to Woodlands Train Checkpoint.
Status of the station building
The old station building is to be conserved as a KTMB Mini Museum for the Southern Region. As of October 2010, the old JB station had its platform 2 and its tracks dismantled with one track and platform remaining for the future mini museum exhibits.
