Going into JB on 26 Dec 2019. (Boxing Day)
Plan to take KTM but no more online tickets for morning.
If I can reach Woodlands custom by 8am, is it advisable to check out KTM train tickets over the counter. If no more then walk back to checkpoint?
Travelling with 2.5 years old so cracking head to clear Malaysia custom ASAP.

Not sure your purpose to go JB but you may want to try and go via Tuas, which means go to Aeon Bukit Indah. Tesco is just a short walk away.
Bus to board from Jurong East is CW3.
I generally find going via Tuas is much more pleasant but not sure about boxing day situation. Aeon Bt Indah is also quite nice, can eat at the eateries outside of Aeon.
When come back, board at the same spot you alight.
Maybe give this some thought.
Thought your post looked familiar and yes indeed.

Since it's related to taking train, the other thread would already be good enough as members who've tried similar route would have a better idea.
Anyway, as you've decided to post here as well, perhaps for more opinions, I'd also say go by 2nd Link.
Boxing Day isn't a public holiday, is it? So I can't imagine any difference as with any other weekdays during this school holiday period. 8am is good at 2nd Link since not being a weekend/holiday means you won't meet too many SG shoppers at that hour. Just don't go beyond 11am unless you want to meet bus loads of tiong tour groups.
If your target area is over the other side like City Square or Tebrau City, bus from JB CIQ out of the area before Grabbing over.
To tebrau still ok, to City square better to take 1st link.
Grab 30 mins distance cost 26 rm, not cheap.

"When come back, board at the same spot you alight."
I think this is wrong, CW bus coming back sg no more pick up at Bukit Indah, I think shift to Tesco.
Honestly speaking, I can't imagine why would anyone want to shop at City Square after making the effort to be at Woodlands CIQ 8am.
At that hour, I'd head for Tebrau area as well, breakfast/brunch in IKEA, then shop around there. Only on the way back then drop by at City Square.
But if it's later, I'd spend that time and money rather than queue for 2 or even 3 hours at JB CIQ hall with Sinkies who don't know the meaning of "queue" and just bunch together creating confusion for the rest in the back.
I also don't know why many ppl like KSL and City Square But up to individual lol.
I went to Aeon Bt Indah on 11/11/19 and I boarded at the same place I alighted for the return trip. Unless it has changed since then.
Got any direct bus from Bukit indah to city sq? Where to board the bus? Maybe morning can go bt indah then afternoon go mid valley southkeyNot sure your purpose to go JB but you may want to try and go via Tuas, which means go to Aeon Bukit Indah. Tesco is just a short walk away.

I tried taking bus on a Friday about 7am+ at queen st terminal...also quite long queue for the busGuys to avoid jam, be it human or car, just skip peak hour, long weekend, public holiday.

I went there on 9/11 -10/11. I was waiting for bus CW7 at sutera mall, but CW3 arrive. Then it go to bukit indah Tesco (I think) to pick up, there is a very long Q with CW staffs. So I thought CW bus no more pick up from bukit indah.
@Habrosus should know this better.
