mpassengers=The Seremban railway station is aMalaysia n railway station on the west end ofSeremban ,Negeri Sembilan . The station is named after Seremban.The station serves the North-South Line of the
KTM Intercity train services, as well asKTM Komuter commuter train services introduced in 1995. It is the southern terminal station of theKTM Komuter 'sRawang-Seremban Line .History
The station was constructed between 1904 to 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
February 6 ,1994 toApril 12 ,1994 , the station underwent extensive remodeling in preparation for the launch of the Rawang-to-Seremban stretch of theKTM Komuter commuter train services. The renovation saw theretrofit ting 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.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).
Komuter trains stop only at platform 1, a
side platform directly adjoining the station building. Platforms 2 and 3 are situated on aisland platform covered by a metal-framed and wooden shade, and serve Intercity train services that travel in either direction.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
verandah s supported by carved wooden beams sporting curved motives.The station is covered by two layers of
hip roof s: One at the bottom cut at the top by a smaller one with a largegable . A whiteclock tower is erected atop the roof of the building, topped by anonion dome . The top of the roof is adorned by wooden carvings and smallpinnacle s on its upper ends.References
