The Kuala Kangsar railway station is a Malaysian train station located at the north-western side of and named after the town of Kuala Kangsar, Perak. Owned by Keretapi Tanah Melayu, it provides KTM Intercity services.
In July 2008 it was announced that a new station would be built at Kampung Talang Simpang Tiga nearby, and the old station retained as a railway museum. Heritage die-hards breathed a sigh of relief. But the happiness was short-lived; the old station will make way for the new, after all. The decision was reverted in October, 2008 ostensibly to spare affected villagers from relocation while there arose land acquisition problems. The Malay press, Utusan Malaysia, 13 Oct 2008, quoted Sultan Azlan Shah: the station was too old to be retained as a heritage building.
