Yes........i think that is done so that they dont need to find a place near Rasa to turn their train around. It should be noted that it may take some time if they clear passengers then turn around somewhere else and go back into the station to pick passengers, which will affect the schedule.

as far as i know, when i rode the KTM Komuter to Rasa, there are no switches near the southern entry to Rasa station. I don't think there are similar switches to the north of Rasa as well.

Since Rasa's Platform 2 is the terminus of Rawang-Rasa shuttle and there are no switches outside Rasa station, the train will have to use the nearest possible switch which will cause the train to go into tracks leading Rasa platform 2. In this case, Batang Kali (shown in this picture) is the nearest switch. Therefore this train will switch to the right-hand side track after stopping at Batang Kali.

Anyway, based on my observations the Rawang-Rasa shuttle service uses 2 trains and both trains will meet at either Serendah or Batang Kali. trains uses platform 2 at Rasa and platform 2 at Rawang.

Are those .....

Are those a section of guide-rails on both tracks?
A section of bridge must be just beyond the station platform, yes?
