Gombak LRT station

The Gombak LRT station is a major Malaysian interchange station located in the Gombak District of the state of Selangor, Malaysia. It is the northern terminus of the LRT Kelana Jaya Line. The station mainly consist of the elevated LRT station, integrated with the Terminal Bersepadu Gombak (TBG) bus terminal complex and connected to the future East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) station.

There is a ticket counter for buses to Genting Highlands, with buses departing to the Genting Skyway station every half-hour. These buses are operated by Genting Malaysia Berhad. This station is normally utilised by residents of Kuala Lumpur, especially those living around the Setapak area when they are going to Genting.

The Gombak toll plaza, the beginning of the East Coast Expressway, is one kilometre north from this station.

An elevated light rapid transit (LRT) station is the base of this station complex, along with a multi-storey parking lot building. Both the station, then known as Terminal PUTRA, opened in 1999 as the northeastern terminus of the Kelana Jaya Line (then known as the PUTRA LRT).

This station contains two levels: The access point, ticket machines and concourse are all on street level, while the platforms are on the first and only elevated level. All levels are linked via stairways, escalators and elevators designated for physically challenged passengers. The station uses a single island platform between two tracks, both tracks for trains travelling in the direction of Putra Heights, and is entirely sheltered by a gabled roof supported by latticed frames.

Beyond the passenger platforms, the station includes a terminal stabling area used for parking Kelana Jaya Line trains at the end of the line. The stabling area originally had four parking sidings.

The stabling area was expanded in phases. In 2014, two additional parking sidings were added on the western side of the stabling area. A roof structure and platform were also constructed during this upgrade to support the stabling of parked trains. In 2016, another siding was added on the eastern side, increasing the total number of parking sidings from four to seven.

Each siding is generally able to accommodate either two 2-car trainsets or one 4-car trainset, depending on the train formation being stabled.
