The station is situated within theClark Freeport and Special Economic Zone. Adjacent to the station isSM City Clark, where an intermodal terminal is currently under construction.[3]
A rail link from Clark International Airport to Metro Manila was originally planned in the 1990s.[4] The first proposal, called the "Manila–Clark rapid railway system", was discontinued due to disagreement on funding. In the early 2000s, the NorthRail project was pursued. This involved theconversion therail gauge fromnarrow gauge tostandard gauge, and linking Manila toMalolos,Bulacan and eventually to Clark and its airport. The project was discontinued in 2011 due to allegations of overpricing, and was replaced by the currentNorth–South Commuter Railway project.[5][6] The station is being constructed as part of the second phase of the NSCR.[7] Partial operations are slated to begin by 2027.[8]
