Great Malaysian Railway Journeys
REMBAU

new Rembau railway station

I wrote these Great Malaysian Railway Journey pages during the period 2014-2017. They used to be hosted on a separate Weebly website but, since mid 2026, Weebly is no longer available for customers in Malaysia so I am transferring the content here. Some of the information may be outdated and of historical interest only.

THE STATION

KTMB extended its electric train service to Rembau on 30 August this year, providing a faster and more comfortable link up to KL and beyond as far as Rawang.

As part of the modernization, this new station was built, replacing the old one which appears to have been demolished.

This old platform sign has been saved and is currently leaning against a wall in the new station, pending a new permanent home.

WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE STATION

The station is located close to the town centre. The old part of Rembau is a fairly typical small town with the usual few streets of shophouses, a police station, post office, a mosque and temples.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

Gunung Datuk

Gunung Datuk is one of the most popular day climbs in Peninsular Malaysia.
It is tiring but satisfying with excellent views from the top.


Raja Melewar Palace

Istana Raja Melewar is an interesting replica palace and museum about 10km from Rembau. It is not very well known but worth a visit. Find out more on my Thrifty Traveller blog.
