Batu Gajah Railway Depot
After YTL Corp had announced their intentions to use KTM's Sentul Works for their Sentul East and Sentul West masterplan, KTM was planning to close the Intercity part of the Works and the Falim Depots as well because their Intercity motive power and rolling stock rarely terminate at the Works for maintenance or scrapping and no Intercity motive power ever stopped at the Falim Depots for damage inspections for years and was used as their Museum Warehouse before the depot's closing.
By August 2009, Batu Gajah railway depot replaced Sentul Works for KTM Intercity's motive power maintenance and Falim Depot for Intercity motive power and rolling stock damage inspections. In addition, the depot is also used as starting test grounds for newly arrived motive power or rolling stock.
