Location

ThePulau Sebang/Tampin railway station (formerlyTampin railway station) is aMalaysiantrain station on theWest Coast Line located near and named after the bordering towns ofPulau Sebang,Malacca andTampin,Negeri Sembilan. The station itself is situated in Malaccan territory, being one of the two stations on the West Coast Line that serves the state of Malacca, the other beingBatang Melaka.

The station is served by theKTM ETS andKTM Komuter'sSeremban Line. The station is the southern terminus of theSeremban Line and was formerly the western terminus ofKTM Intercity's Ekspres Selatan services.^[1]

This station is located in Pulau Sebang in the Alor Gajah district of Melaka, Malaysia and is just a few minutes walk to Tampin town centre in Negeri Sembilan. Tampin and Pulau Sebang itself have been blending their development between these borders that any differences look hard to distinguish between the borders originally marked in the town.

Being a station between the border of two states, near a major town and the terminus of a major commuter line makes the station quite strategic to travellers. It serves both Tampin and Pulau Sebang localities in general and attracts passengers as far as central Melaka as there's a bus route of SBST Melaka bus service T20 that goes from Melaka Sentral to Tampin bus terminal.

Initially, the station was named "Tampin railway station", despite the station being situated geographically in Pulau Sebang, and not Tampin. There was an unresolved dispute to what the railway station is named as. The people in Negeri Sembilan called the railway station "Tampin railway station" while the people in Malacca called it "Pulau Sebang railway station". KTM also confirmed that the railway station's name is "Tampin" not "Pulau Sebang". Even after a signboard that read "TAMPIN/PULAU SEBANG" was put up on the platforms the dispute was still ongoing. However, on 4 January 2013, KTM resolved the naming dispute by changing the station's name from just Tampin to Pulau Sebang/Tampin on the orders of the Melaka state government. But since 2018, all signboard bearing the station's name has only the name "PULAU SEBANG" with the word "(TAMPIN)" removed. This change was most probably done informally due to the KTMB ticketing system and train information display still bearing the original station name though someKTM Class 93 was seen with an infographic mentioning Pulau Sebang only.

The station began operations on 15 July 1905 when construction of theWest Coast Line reached Tampin from Seremban.^{[2][3][4][5][a]} Later on 1 December 1905, the 34-kilometre (21 mi) Tampin-Malacca Line was opened.^[6] The main trunk line to Gemas was only opened about a year later on 1 October 1906. The Tampin-Malacca Line was later dismantled by theJapanese inWorld War II, with the dismantled tracks transported toThailand andMyanmar to build the infamous Thai-BurmaDeath Railway.^[7][8][9]

The original station building underwent a reconstruction in 1995, and was then demolished and rebuilt in 2013 during theelectrification and double-tracking project on the West Coast Line.^[10] The new station building was officially opened on 10 October 2015.^[11][12]

In conjuction with the opening in 2015, KTM Komuter introduced a new route, a shuttle service between Seremban-Pulau Sebang/Tampin-Gemas station.^[13][14] Southbound Komuter passengers (fromKuala Lumpur) will have to alight atSeremban station, and wait for the shuttle train services to Pulau Sebang/Tampin orGemas. The shuttle service was cut short on 20 June 2016 to Pulau Sebang/Tampin, removing both Batang Melaka and Gemas from the line. This system operated until 11 July 2016, when the Seremban Line was extended to Pulau Sebang/Tampin, effectively replacing the shuttle service with the Komuter line.

The station was the starting point ofKTM Intercity's Ekspres Selatan Line, which terminates atJohor Bahru Sentral station before KTM truncates the service to start from Gemas in 2021. Starting 15 March 2025, the station is also the fourth last stop of the KTM ETS line, due to the extension of the KTM ETS line to Segamat, Johor.
