Nichols station (formerlyBonifacio–Villamor station, and from 2028 to be referred asSenate–DepEd station) is a railway station located on theSouth Main Line inTaguig,Metro Manila,Philippines, near the city's boundary withPasay. It derives its name from one of the area's popular nicknames,Nichols, which is also the former name ofVillamor Air Base. It was opened for revenue service on March 25, 2010. Station operations is temporarily suspended since March 28, 2024, to make way for the construction of theNorth–South Commuter Railway (NSCR).^[1] It will be repurposed as an elevated station that will serve both the NSCR andMetro Manila Subway.^[2]

The station is the twelfth station fromTutuban and is one of two stations serving Taguig, the other station beingFTI.

Aside being near bothVillamor Airbase andFort Bonifacio, it is also near Terminal 3 ofNinoy Aquino International Airport,Newport City, the headquarters of theTechnical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and theLibingan ng mga Bayani. Further away from the station are thePhilippine State College of Aeronautics, thePasay City South High School, Magallanes Village inMakati, theManila American Cemetery and Memorial,The Heritage Memorial Park, theBonifacio Global City,McKinley Hill, andMcKinley West.

Nichols station is accessible by jeepneys plying routes on the East Service Road,Lawton Avenue (the road which leads to Fort Bonifacio) andSales Road (the road which leads to Villamor Airbase), as well as buses plying these routes.

This station shall be rebuilt as part of theNorth–South Commuter Railway project.^[3] A new station shall be built to the north of theSales Interchange where the present one is. To be namedSenate–DepEd station, it will be constructed behind theDepartment of Social Welfare and Development's Social Welfare and Development Center for Asia and the Pacific (SWADCAP) site, which will eventually become the futureDepartment of Education (DepEd) complex, and shall also serve the adjacentNew Senate Building.^[4] The station will be built as an elevated building and will have two tracks and side platforms. However, Senate–DepEd is not expected to be part of a single interchange with theMetro Manila Subway station of the same name. The entire NSCR system which includes the new Senate station, is expected to open by 2028.^[5][6]
