Marilao station is an under-construction elevated North–South Commuter Railway (NSCR) station located in Marilao, Bulacan, Philippines.[1][2] The station was part of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) North Main Line before its closure in the 1980s.[3]
The new station is near SM City Marilao and will be linked to the mall.
History
The station was first closed in 1984,[4] but was reopened in 1990 under the Metrotren project. It was abandoned when the North Main Line ceased operations in 1997.[5] Along with Bocaue station, the old station was then demolished in 2007.
The station was to be rebuilt as a part of the Northrail project, which involved the upgrading of the existing single track to an elevated dual-track system, converting the rail gauge from narrow gauge to standard gauge, and linking Manila to Malolos in Bulacan and further on to Angeles City, Clark Special Economic Zone and Clark International Airport.[6] The project commenced in 2007, but was repeatedly halted then discontinued in 2011.[7][8] The constructor of Valenzuela–Meycauayan-Marilao-Bocaue section is a DATEM, Inc.–DMCI–Taisei Corporation Joint Venture. The station has three floors with a floor area of 28,422.05 square meters (305,932.4 sq ft).
As of June 2024, the station is over 50% complete. Partial operations are slated to begin by 2027.[9]
