Laon Laan station (also called Dapitan station) was a railway station located on the South Main Line in the city of Manila, Philippines.[1]
The station is the third station from Tutuban.
The station was transferred west of Laon Laan due to the construction of the NLEX Connector Road beside the westbound railtracks, with a steel platform being prepared as its temporary replacement. On 17 October 2023, the station officially reopened.[2]
After the permanent closure of the PNR Metro Commuter service on 28 March 2024, Laon Laan station is not expected to be rebuilt for the Clark–Calamba Railway project.[3]
Nearby landmarks
