History
editBang Khen opened as a railway station on the Northern and Northeastern Line in the early 1900s. The original station structure was demolished in 1990 during the construction of the failed Hopewell BERTS project.
The new elevated station opened on 2 August 2021.[2][3] The ground-level station closed on 19 January 2023 and long-distance trains stopped operating from the station entirely.[4]
