Kuala Lumpur Railway Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kuala Lumpur Railway Station is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The building was completed in 1911 when it began service as the central point for Malaya's rail transportation system such as the Keretapi Tanah Melayu. It was refurbished in 1986 with additional new facilities and buildings, including air-conditioned waiting halls, tourism information counters, snack bars and more.
This beautiful Moorish-style railway station is located at Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, which incidentally is the heart of the city too. The National Mosque, Station Hotel and Dayabumi Complex are among the nearby landmarks.
As the central station, it was always bustling especially with the start of the KTM Komuter service. However, with the newly-built KL Sentral taking over, the KL Railway Station has become a stop solely for commuter trains. The rest go to KL Sentral, which is located less than a kilometer away.
Pasar Seni LRT station is a 400 m walk from the Komuter platform.
After 90 years of operation, the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station has now seen the end of its heyday.
