Seremban railway station in malaysia
The Seremban railway station is a Malaysian railway station on the west end of Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. The station is named after Seremban.
Contents
The station is served by the KTM ETS train services, as well as the KTM Komuter service introduced in 1995. Since December 2015, the station is served by the Seremban Line which runs between Batu Caves and Pulau Sebang/Tampin stations.
History
The station was constructed between 1904 and 1910 at a cost of RM26,000.00, having long served earlier railway companies before the Malayan Railway Administration (now known as the Malayan Railway) took over responsibilities of managing all lines in Malaya in 1948. The station continued to offer Intercity train services along the North-South Line, as well as offering goods deliveries.
From 6 February 1994 to 12 April 1994, the station underwent extensive remodeling in preparation for the launch of the Rawang-to-Seremban stretch of the KTM Komuter commuter train services. The renovation saw the retrofitting of new KTM Komuter facilities into the station, as well as the raising of all platforms in the station to support easier access in and out of KTM locomotives and coaches.
It was the southern terminus of the KTM Komuter's Rawang-Seremban Line since 1995 when the KTM Komuter began serving Seremban until that service was merged with the KTM Komuter Southern Service resulting in the southern terminus moving first to Gemas and then later Pulau Sebang/Tampin.
Platforms
The station contains three platforms connected by a link bridge. Because the station serves as a terminal stop of the KTM Komuter commuter train service, only one line is needed for the service, used as a final stop for its southbound journey and the beginning of its northbound journey (like most EMUs, the KTM Komuter rolling stock is capable of moving backwards or forwards).
The central part of Komuter trains stop only at platform 1, a side platform directly adjoining the station building. Platforms 2 and 3 are situated on an island platform covered by a metal-framed and wooden shade, and serve southern part of Komuter, ETS Line and Intercity trains.
Architecture
The station is essentially fashioned in a simplistic form, consisting of an oblong-planned one storey station building containing station offices at the southern half of the station, and ticketing facilities and the passenger concourse in the northern half of the building; a brick-and-plaster entranceway was also included in its earlier iteration. The station features verandahs supported by carved wooden beams sporting curved motives.
The station is covered by two layers of hip roofs: One at the bottom cut at the top by a smaller one with a large gable. A white clock tower is erected atop the roof of the building, topped by an onion dome. The top of the roof is adorned by wooden carvings and small pinnacles on its upper ends.
