History

The station was originally established in 1909. In 1924, the station building was reconstructed with a bigger building on the same place. This station ceased operations on 28 April 2021 and was temporarily replaced by the Segamat Temporary Railway Station located 3.7km away. The old station will be demolished to make way for a new station to be constructed as part of the Gemas-Johor Bahru Double Tracking and Electrification Project.[1]
