The Sungai Buloh railway station is a railway station serving the suburb of Sungai Buloh in Selangor, Malaysia, which is located to the northwest of Kuala Lumpur.

Train station Railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers and/or freight

A train station, railway station, railroad station, or depot is a railway facility or area where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight. It generally consists of at least one track-side platform and a station building (depot) providing such ancillary services as ticket sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a single-track line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements. The smallest stations are most often referred to as "stops" or, in some parts of the world, as "halts".

Sungai Buloh is a city and mukim in Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia. The name itself means "bamboo river" in the Malay language. It is located along the Kuala Selangor highway.

Selangor, also known by its Arabic honorific Darul Ehsan, or "Abode of Sincerity", is one of the 13 states of Malaysia. It is on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and is bordered by Perak to the north, Pahang to the east, Negeri Sembilan to the south and the Strait of Malacca to the west. Selangor surrounds the federal territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, both of which were previously part of it.

It is an interchange station, with one section catering to the KTM Komuter and KTM ETS services, and another section for the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line. There is however no paid-area-to-paid-area integration as the two services use different ticketing systems. The newly built integrated station was opened on 16 December 2016 together with the opening of the first phase of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line.^[1]

KTM Komuter is a commuter rail system in Malaysia operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM). It was introduced in 1995 to provide local rail services in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding Klang Valley suburban areas. The service was then introduced in Greater Penang in September 2015 after the completion of the Ipoh-Padang Besar Electrification and Double-Tracking Project,. Later on 10 October 2015, the southern sector service was introduced between Seremban and Gemas in Negeri Sembilan after the completion of the Seremban-Gemas Electrification and Double-Tracking Project, although a route revamp in July 2016 saw the southern sector services merged with that of the central sector, with the southern terminus being pulled back from Gemas to Pulau Sebang/Tampin.

The KTM ETS is an inter-city rail service operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad utilizing electric multiple units. The KTM ETS is the second electric train service to be operated by the Malaysian railway company, after the KTM Komuter service.

The station is currently the northern terminus of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line. When the MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line begins operations, expected in 2021, this station will become part of the line and no longer a station on the former as both services will terminate at Kwasa Damansara MRT station.^[2]

The Kwasa Damansara station is a mass rapid transit (MRT) station that serves the future township of Kwasa Damansara in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia which is currently being developed. It one of the stations of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line and was opened on 16 December 2016 under Phase One opening of the line.

Station Features

Station location

The Sungai Buloh station is a three-level elevated station which is located north of Jalan Kuala Selangor near the intersection with Jalan Sungai Buloh, and also Jalan Hospital. The station is located at the same location as the former Sungai Buloh railway station, of which part of the structure is still being used and integrated with the new station.

The integrated station was constructed as part of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line and opened together with the opening of Phase One of the line on 16 December 2016.^[3]

KTM and MRT common concourse

The station has a common elevated concourse shared by the MRT and the KTM. The ticket vending machines and ticketing offices for both services, as well as two retail outlets are located at this common concourse. The concourse was constructed over the four KTM tracks.

From this common concourse, stairs, escalators and lifts descend from within the KTM paid area beyond the faregates to the two at-grade side platforms which were the existing platforms of the previous KTM station. Similarly beyond the MRT faregates, stairs, escalators and lifts bring passengers up to the MRT councourse level and the a further level up to the single island platform of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line.

A side platform is a platform positioned to the side of a pair of tracks at a railway station, tram stop, or transitway. Dual side platform stations, one for each direction of travel, is the basic station design used for double-track railway lines. Side platforms may result in a wider overall footprint for the station compared with an island platform where a single width of platform can be shared by riders using either track.

Island platform platform surface with platform edges on both sides

An island platform is a station layout arrangement where a single platform is positioned between two tracks within a railway station, tram stop or transitway interchange. Island platforms are popular on twin-track routes due to pragmatic and cost-effective reasons. They are also useful within larger stations where local and express services for the same direction of travel can be provided from opposite sides of the same platform thereby simplifying transfers between the two tracks. An alternative arrangement is to position side platforms on either side of the tracks.

The paid areas for both services however are not connected and there is no paid-area-to-paid-area integration. This is because the KTM and MRT use different ticketing systems.

History

First station

The first Sungai Buloh railway station opened in 1892 when the section of the main railway line, now the KTM West Coast Line between Batu Junction and Rawang was opened.

KTM Komuter station

The station underwent refurbishment as part of the Klang Valley Electrification and Double Tracking Project which saw the station becoming one of the stations of the KTM Komuter service in 1995. The station was originally on the Rawang-Seremban Line until 2016 when a revamp of the KTM Komuter service saw the station serving the Port Klang Line with trains running between Tanjung Malim and Port Klang.

The station had four tracks, with two side platforms serving the two outer tracks. A pedestrian overhead bridge, which later had lifts to make the bridge disabled friendly, linked to the two platforms. The main entrance together with the main station building was located on the south-bound platform.

Integrated interchange station

When construction of the Klang Valley MRT Project began in 2010, the MRT Station was designed to be one of four interchange stations between the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line and the Keretapi Tanah Melayu railway network. The other interchange stations are Muzium Negara (to KL Sentral), Pasar Seni (to the old Kuala Lumpur station) and Kajang station.

The Sungai Buloh KTM Station was already in existence at the location and the new MRT station was constructed next to it, occupying what was previously the at-grade open air car park. The MRT section and common concourse of the station, which is partially over KTM tracks, was built while the KTM station remained in operations throughout the construction period.

With the completion and opening of the new integrated station, the KTM station structure was dismantled. The KTM ticketing office and other offices were relocated from the original station to the common concourse. Only the original platforms were retained although access two then were redesigned to enable access to the common platforms, instead of to the previous at-grade exit on the northern platform.

The KTM tracks were not modified for the renovation.
