Location

The Taiping railway station is a Malaysian train station located at and named after the town of Taiping, Perak.

Malaysia's first railway station was situated in Taiping and was opened in 1885 when the Taiping-Port Weld Railway Line, Malaysia's first, was opened. The current modern station is the third railway station to be built in Taiping. It was built as part of the Ipoh-Padang Besar Electrification and Double-Tracking Project which was completed in 2014.

The station is on the KTM West Coast Line and is a stop for both the KTM ETS inter-city services since 10 July 2015 and the KTM Komuter Northern Sector's Ipoh-Butterworth Line.
