The Selangor government intends to improve and expand public transportation connectivity by connecting the proposed Selangor Rail Line with the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) alignment sometime after 2026, Selangor Journal has reported.

According to Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari, this is on top of the ECRL Gombak station, which will connect to the current light-rail transit (LRT) network and function as an integrated terminal after the project is completed.

“The Gombak station is already an integrated terminal, allowing connectivity with the current LRT alignment. 

“In the future, Selangor plans to introduce what we call the Selangor Rail Line. Our plan includes at least two stations, one in Kuala Selangor and possibly one in Klang, that will connect with the existing ECRL alignment.

“This will link the entire rail network after 2026,” he said during a press conference after the ECRL Gombak Tunnel breakthrough ceremony yesterday..

Amirudin expressed optimism that the Selangor Rail Line will be realized, citing its significant potential to drive economic growth along the west coast.

Excavation for the Gombak tunnel began in June of last year, with a breakthrough scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year. All civil works for the Gombak Tunnel are expected to be completed by March 2025.
