The Pulau Sebang/Tampin railway station (formerly Tampin railway station) is a Malaysian train station stationed near and named after the border towns of Pulau Sebang, Malacca and Tampin, Negeri Sembilan. The station itself is situated on Malaccan territory. It was also an interchage to the former 34-kilometre (21 mi) long Melaka Line which was dismantled by the Japanese in World War II. The old station building was demolished on 11 April 2013 after 108 years of operations and a 1995 reconstruction for the Seremban-Gemas double tracking project and move out to the new building.
Naming dispute
There was an unresolved dispute to what the Tampin railway station is named as. The people in Negeri Sembilan called the railway station "Tampin railway station" while the people in Malacca called it "Pulau Sebang railway station". KTM also confirmed that the railway station's name is "Tampin" not "Pulau Sebang" but however even after a signboard both that reads "TAMPIN/PULAU SEBANG" was put on the platforms the dispute is still ongoing. However on 4 January 2013, KTM resolved the naming dispute by changing the station's name from just Tampin to Pulau Sebang/Tampin.
