Lopburi railway station is a class 1 railway station in the centre of Lopburi, Thailand, located 133 km (83 mi) away from Bangkok Station. It is a terminus for commuter train services on the Northern Line.[1] Two large golden monkey sculptures are located on the platforms as the monkey is the symbol of Lopburi. The opposite side of the station building is an important archaeological site of Lopburi, Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat.[2]
Lopburi is the current northern end of the double-track section from Bangkok and further double tracking on the line has begun construction between Lopburi – Pak Nam Pho. However, to the north of the station where the tracks run adjacent to the Phra Prang Sam Yot, the double tracking was not possible due to the predicted detrimental effects of increased rail traffic on the historical site. As a result, a bypass route was constructed between Ban Klap and Khok Kathiam railway stations. A new Lopburi 2 railway station will be built on this line and will likely serve long-distance services, while this station will likely serve only local and commuter services.[3]
