It will be located between Kepong and Segambut stations, near United Point Residence. An infill station between

360-453: Is currently suspended due to low ridership. Beginning 3 June 2018, Tanjung Malim–Port Klang Line services at three stations in downtown Kuala Lumpur – Putra , Bank Negara and the old Kuala Lumpur station , as well as Segambut were unavailable during off-peak hours, i.e. between 8 am and 6 pm, to facilitate track upgrading services. For the three city-centre stations - Putra, Bank Negara and Kuala Lumpur, Port Klang-bound trains will serve

405-697: Is offered between mainline railways and city metro systems, such as Barking and Stratford stations in London . In some cases, no dedicated underground passage or footbridge is provided, and therefore passengers have to transfer between two parts of a station through city streets. Examples include Kuramae Station of Toei in Tokyo , Japan and Lexington Avenue-59th Street / Lexington Avenue–63rd Street stations in New York City . In many cases, electronic ticketing allows transferring passengers re-admission to

450-687: Is the second of its kind in Malaysia. However, it is temporarily suspended due to low ridership. The routes have been modified over the years.

Interchange station Transfer may occur within the same mode, or between rail modes, or to buses (for stations with bus termini attached). Such stations usually have more platforms than single route stations. These stations can exist in either commercial centers or on

765-506: The 1995 stations are virtually standardised, down to the design of the passenger semicircle -crossed shelters, the use of similarly-styled foot crossings to link all platforms, and the diamonds-based brickwork of the platforms. Depending on the number of patrons through the years, each station has undergone upgrades or expansions that consist of either increasing the number of ticket counters or opening new facilities for use by passengers or railway staff. Taller, wider canopies were erected on

810-698: The Butterworth-Gurun route was dropped, and subsequently on 1 September 2016, the route took on its current form.

The line was effectively named the Tanjung Malim–Port Klang Line. Since May 2018,

1080-673: The following models: The Class 8x suffered from more mechanical problems as they aged, especially the Class 81 and Class 82, which had poor reliability. The manufacturers of both classes had gone bankrupt since the trains were built, hence spare parts became unavailable. On paper, the number of serviceable units in 2010 stood at 53 out of the original 62, although there are reports of far fewer trains. Ultimately, four Class 81 sets were refurbished, albeit with new motors from Hyundai instead of Jenbacher. All Class 82s were taken out of service. In 2012, six-car Class 92s were introduced, replacing most of

1125-409: The four shared stations.
