Trains that go to Singapore now leave from Woodlands Train Checkpoint right next to the border with Singapore. Bus 950 goes to and from MRT Marsiling which is in walking distance. Buses 160 and 170 connect the station with Kranji MRT. Be careful about the 170 buses if you are coming from Kranji, not all the 170's go to the train station. There several other buses that stop on Woodlands Road near the station entrance most of these go to Woodlands MRT, but I don't know which side of the street send buses in that direction.
To find the station location on Google Maps, you need to enter Woodlands Crossing, Singapore which is what Google thinks the station is named. If you enter the stations actual address, Google sends you to another location in Woodlands.
There have been complaints about a lack of toilets in the new facility, so be careful about that. Are there bathrooms in the MRT stations?
And now for a video in which immigration and transport officials talk about the change. I am concerned that the transit guy does not think that they need more buses:
Hopefully, light rail will connect to the station by 2018 as planned.
