Wongwian Yai station

Wongwian Yai station is the name of a cluster of railway and rapid transit stations in Bangkok, near the Wongwian Yai traffic circle. It includes the existing terminus of the State Railway of Thailand's Maeklong Railway and an elevated station on the BTS Skytrain's Silom Line, as well as an under-construction underground station of the MRT Purple Line, planned to open in 2028, and a planned station of the SRT Dark Red Line, which will replace the old railway station.

History
The station opened on 29 December 1904 during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, as part of the Pak Khlong San–Mahachai railway operated by the Tachin Railway Ltd. On 24 November 1959, Prime Minister Sarit Thanarat suggested to the cabinet that the Pak Khlong San–Wongwian Yai section be closed in order to accommodate the increase in road traffic. The station became the line's terminus following the closure of Pak Khlong San railway station, on 1 January 1961, with the Pak Khlong San–Wongwian Yai section converted into Charoen Rat Road. On 22 March 2019, a train collided with the buffer stop at Wongwian Yai station due to an air brake failure. Two people were injured. ==Station layout==
