Nilai Komuter station is a KTM Komutertrain station, situated close to and named after the old town of Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. The station strictly serves as a two-platform train halt for the Seremban LineKTM Komuter train service. This used to be a stop for the KTM ETS service when the line was extended to Gemas in 2015.
The station started during the British era as Sepang Road halt. The station, as are virtually all small train halts along the Komuter lines, is situated along a double tracked right-of-way. Due to its use as a connection from the KLIA, as well as colleges a distance away, the station receives a substantially large number of passengers throughout its operational hours.
Initially consisting of a small station building with one operational ticket counter and two ticket vending machines, and covered platforms, the station has since undergone significant improvements in 2005 and 2006 to support more passengers.
The station used to be a stop for the ETS service when it was extended to Gemas in 2015. Eventually, the station was no longer served by ETS.
Prior to the completion of the Express Rail Link (ERL), the Nilai station was the only connecting railway station to the KLIA. KLIA-bound bus services, which typically take up to an hour to reach the airport from Nilai or vice versa, are provided for passengers. Travel to the airport from KL Sentral via Nilai is still cheaper than via ERL services, although much slower. Buses were previously stationed directly in front of the train station before a proper bus depot was completed down the road.
Future interchange
Nilai station has been slated as a future interchange station with the East Coast Rail Link.[1]
