The North-South Commuter Railway Project is a 147 – kilometer mass transportation railway system traversing Clark, Pampanga (Region 3) to Calamba, Laguna (Region 4).
Expected to cost ₱873.62 billion,] the line is the most expensive railway transportation project in the country. The entire system is expected to be completed by 2029. Upon its completion, the railway will supersede the existing PNR Metro Commuter Line.
The Valenzuela Depot is currently 50% complete while Malanday Station, Meycauyan Station, Marilao Station and Bocaue Station are 25% to 30% complete already.
All stations will have a standard layout, with a concourse level and a platform level. The stations are designed to adhere to both Philippine and Japanese standards. Stations will either have island platforms or side platforms with platform screen doors. The stations are designed to be barrier-free, and trains shall have spaces for passengers using wheelchairs. Historical stations will be preserved. All stations will have access to intermodal facilities. The FTI station in particular will be connected to the Taguig Integrated Terminal Exchange.
NSCR will be the first commuter rail system in the country to be mostly grade-separated. Trains are designed to run on 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge tracks at a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour (75 miles per hour) for regular trains and 160 kilometers per hour (99 miles per hour) for airport express trains.
One seamless railway system composed of three segments:
- PNR Clark Phase 1 (Tutuban-Malolos)
- PNR Clark Phase 2 (Malolos-Clark)
- PNR Calamba (Solis-Calamba)
