Naming

Platforms

The station was initially named "Muang Thong Thani" while the current Muang Thong Thani station was named "Si Rat", but the names were swapped to accommodate and prevent confusion for which station to change at for the Muang Thong Thani spur line. The station was then renamed to "Sukhothai Thammathirat University" station but due to its distant location from the university, it did not meet the Department of Railways' guidelines for station naming by proximity and therefore was changed to the current "Si Rat" name.
