History
edit,_Kuala_Lumpur.JPG)
While construction of the station started along with the rest of the line in 1996, it was halted in 1997 due to low population in the surrounding area and the cancellation of a housing project nearby.[1] While the rest of the line opened in 1999 with Sri Rampai station listed on transit maps, it was effectively a ghost station with all trains programmed to simply pass through.
On the evening of 25 August 2006, the station's tracks were inundated by water from a flash flood, disrupting services along the entire Kelana Jaya line for several hours and causing major passenger congestion between the KLCC station and the Kuala Lumpur Sentral station. Services were gradually restored by 8:30 pm (MST).[2]
Refurbishment of the station resumed in September 2008, likely in response to new property developments in the area, including Wangsa Walk Mall and a local AEON BiG (formerly known as "Carrefour") supermarket. Work on the station was complete early December 2010, and the station began revenue service on 24 December 2010.
Design
editThe station is a two-level subsurface station, with the platform areas (containing two side platforms) constructed below the surface, while the rest of the structure is located above on the surface. The station is the only kind along the line to be at-grade, in comparison to other stations' elevated and underground designs.
