The Serendah Komuter station is a Malaysian commuter train station stationed roughly two kilometres northwest from and named after the town of Serendah, Selangor. It was previously built as KTM Intercity's Serendah railway halt. The station was opened on April 21, 2007 alongside the Rasa and Batang Kali stations, and is the first stop in the Rawang-Tanjung Malim shuttle service (formerly known as the Rawang-Kuala Kubu Bharu shuttle service).
The station, as are all the other stations along the shuttle route (except the Tanjung Malim Komuter station), is situated along two railways, each assigned with one platform like most station halts along KTM Komuter lines, but contains facilities normally reserved for medium-to-large stations along three or more lines. In addition to ticketing facilities and basic amenities, the station contains spaces for administrative occupants, as well as a "kiosk" and an additional foot bridge (fused with a foot bridge exclusively for Komuter users) for pedestrians that simply intend to cross the railway lines. The station also includes low-tech support for disabled passengers. The station exits northeast towards a road, which reaches the town of Serendah an estimated two kilometres south.
The Serendah station's two side platforms are designated as platform 1 (adjoining the main station building at the east, intended for southbound trains) and platform 2 (at the west, intended for northbound trains).
Famous quotes containing the word station:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
