start of KTM Komuter's services until 2015, when a new Rawang-Port Klang trial route began operating to cater for the KTM double-track upgrading project. In 2016, the Rawang–Port Klang route was merged with the Rawang–Tanjung Malim shuttle service, ending Rawang's role as the northern terminus of the line and forming the current Tanjung Malim-Port Klang Line.
The station built to cater the traffic around the suburbs of Rawang as there were no other commuter or mass transit services in the Klang Valley that stopped here before the arrival of the KTM Komuter.
