**Pudu LRT station** is an elevated [light rapid transit](/source/Light_rapid_transit) (LRT) station situated in [Pudu, Kuala Lumpur](/source/Pudu%2C_Kuala_Lumpur), Malaysia. The station serves a single line that is shared by both the [LRT Ampang Line](/source/LRT_Ampang_Line) and [LRT Sri Petaling Line](/source/LRT_Sri_Petaling_Line). The station was opened on 16 December 1996, as part of the first phase of the former STAR LRT system's opening, alongside 13 adjoining stations along the [Sultan Ismail](/source/Sultan_Ismail_LRT_station)-[Ampang](/source/Ampang_LRT_station) route.

## Location

The former Pudoh (Pudu) railway station of [Keretapi Tanah Melayu](/source/Keretapi_Tanah_Melayu) (KTM).

The station is located on the western fringe of the incorporated town of [Pudu](/source/Pudu%2C_Kuala_Lumpur), along Jalan Sarawak, an alleyway northeast from the station, behind a row of [shophouses](/source/Shophouse) afront [Jalan Pudu](/source/Jalan_Pudu), a main thoroughfare in Pudu. The station is also accessible via Jalan San Peng from the southwest and Jalan Sungai Besi from the southeast.

As parts of the Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines route reused the now defunct [Federated Malay States Railways](/source/Federated_Malay_States_Railways) (FMSR) and [Keretapi Tanah Melayu](/source/Keretapi_Tanah_Melayu) (KTM) line between Kuala Lumpur, [Ampang](/source/Ampang%2C_Selangor) and [Salak Selatan](/source/Salak_Selatan), the Pudu station serves as an unofficial replacement of an older Pudoh station that was formerly located in roughly the same location, closed in 1993 and demolished outright during the 1990s as the STAR LRT line was constructed in place of the railway tracks. The station is one of three Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines stations serving the Pudu area, the other being the [Hang Tuah](/source/Hang_Tuah_LRT_station) and [Chan Sow Lin](/source/Chan_Sow_Lin_LRT_station).

## Design

While the original KTM railway line that the Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines routes were based on was laid out on street level, the immediate line adjoining the Pudu LRT station and the station itself are elevated. A reason for this was the proximity of a former [level crossing](/source/Level_crossing) at Jalan Sungai Besi, southeast from the station. The density of the area meant that an elevated railway line was more feasible than a road bridge or railway bridge in order to bypass road traffic and avoid unnecessary stoppages for road users. The tracks follow the route of the old railway line.

The station was designed in a two-tier layout, with a raised ticketing area and staff rooms on the lower floor, and the two [side platforms](/source/Side_platform) and tracks on the top floor. Both platforms converge at the ticket area via stairways and escalators. Elevators were installed some several years after the opening of the station. The principal styling of the station is like most other stations on the Ampang and Sri Petaling Lines, featuring multi-tiered roofs supported by [latticed](/source/Latticework) frames, and white plastered walls and pillars.

## Around the station

- Pudu Plaza

## In popular culture

The station was featured by name in the [1999](/source/1999_in_film) film *[Entrapment](/source/Entrapment_(film))* starring [Sean Connery](/source/Sean_Connery) and [Catherine Zeta-Jones](/source/Catherine_Zeta-Jones). Although the [Bukit Jalil LRT station](/source/Bukit_Jalil_LRT_station) was actually used as the filming location, the sign there showed Pudu instead of Bukit Jalil (though on the same line).[1]
