Sentul LRT station is an elevated light rapid transit (LRT) station operated by Rapid Rail located in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is served by the LRT Ampang Line and LRT Sri Petaling Line. This station is situated next to two secondary schools, the Methodist Boys Secondary School Sentul and the Wesley Methodist School, three primary schools, and several medium-density, low-cost housing developments.
This LRT station, despite sharing the same name, is not interchangeable (or integrated) and not to be confused with the separate but adjacent Sentul Komuter station, which is served by the KTM Batu Caves–Pulau Sebang Line instead. The two stations are approximately 800 meters in walking distance away from each other. The Komuter station was the first rail transit station in Sentul and served the older section of the suburb, while the LRT station was a later addition and serves the newer development of the suburb. (the location "Bandar Baru Sentul" was previously added to the LRT station on official rail transit maps to avoid confusion) The station was opened to the public in 1998 as part of the final phase of development of the former STAR LRT Line.
History
The station is served by the Ampang Line and Sri Petaling Line. Opened in 1998 as part of the lines' second phase of development under the previous STAR LRT system, the station was intended to connect Sentul to other parts of the city and surrounding areas. Under this phase, a 15 km track with 11 stations was built to serve the northern and southern areas of Kuala Lumpur to cater for the Commonwealth Village and National Sports Complex in Bukit Jalil, during the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. At that time, the Sentul LRT station was called "Bandar Baru Sentul".
