History
editBang Bamru railway station originally opened as a single wooden building with concrete platforms with a junction for a rail line to Northern Phra Nakhon Power Station at Bang Kruai for Lignite Coal trains from the Mae Mo Mines, Lampang. It was rebuilt to form a larger station with a concrete structure. And again in September 2009 to the current modern, concrete building with platforms also for the SRT Light Red Line project.
