JB Sentral Terminal is sited on the northeast of the existing Johor Bahru Railway Station on KTMB land.

The JB Sentral was designed to upgrade the existing railway station at Johor Bahru in response to the increasing demand of rail commuters.

New bus and taxi pick up points are provided along Jalan Jim Quee to enhance this new rail station.

Two (2) multilevel car parks (comprising 726 car parking bays) are situated over both sides of the JB Sentral to provide parking facilities for the entire project.

Just look at that why in the world would anyone prefer the dark gloomy platforms at KL Sentral!!!

^^ don't forget to mention the ktm komuter platforms are poorly ventilated. it's feel like an oven during peak hours. and also the smell of after office workers.

Work on Penang Sentral to start soon
2008/10/31

http://www.utusan.com.my/pix/2008/0808/Utusan_Malaysia/Utara/wu_01.1.jpg

GEORGE TOWN: Work on the first phase of Penang Sentral in Butterworth is expected to start before the end of the year when the relocation of hawkers at the current site is completed. Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) director Datuk Ahmad Ibnihajar said the relocation would be carried out soon.

He added that the temporary terminal could accommodate up to 62 hawkers, compared to 50 at the Penang Port Commission's three-storey bus complex destroyed in a 2001 fire.

"We have handed over the temporary hawker centre to the local council, and the relocation process is up to them," he said after handing over school supplies to 300 underprivileged pupils under MRCB's "Pintar" project.

Ahmad, however, said the relocation was only expected to begin after all the stage and express bus operators had moved to the temporary terminal next month.

The temporary terminal was completed in July but to date, only RapidPenang has begun operating there.

Ahmad said work on the first phase, expected to cost RM300 million, should be completed by 2013, comprising bus and taxi terminals, and retail outlets.

The 12.8ha Penang Sentral project is jointly undertaken by Pelaburan Hartanah Bumiputera Berhad (PHBB) and MRCB.

The integrated terminal for rail, road and sea travel is one of many major projects aimed at strengthening Penang's role as a logistics and transportation hub for the Northern Corridor Economic Region.

Plan for rail station modified
Tuesday August 26, 2008
TheStar

SEVERAL modifications are being made to the original plan to build a new railway station for Kuala Kangsar at Kampung Simpang Tiga, a traditional Malay village located at the fringe of the royal town.

Manong assemblyman Datuk Ram-ly Zahari said the construction of KTM Bhd’s workers’ quarters would be relocated to the existing railway station at Jalan Sultan Idris, about 5km from the new railway station.

“The new railway station’s par-king lots will also be relocated away from Kg Simpang Tiga, enabling us to spare more houses (from demolition),” he told reporters during the Kuala Kangsar parliamentary constituency 51st Merdeka celebration recently.

Ramly, who is also Perak Umno secretary, said originally 35 houses in Kg Simpang Tiga would be demolished but developer Gamuda MMC later agreed to demolish only half the number.

“Land owners will also be adequately compensated and paid the commercial rate even though their land is officially designated as agriculture land,” said Ramly.

Kuala Kangsar MP Tan Sri Rafi- dah Aziz, who earlier handed over wheelchairs and cash aid to fire victims in Wai Thong Garden, said villagers affected by the railway project should adopt a “give and take” attitude.

“We have to make some sacrifices for the sake of development,” said Rafidah who is also Umno Wanita chief.

Rafidah said there was a need for a new railway station as the existing one was located at a sharp bend in Jalan Sultan Idris, rendering it unsuitable for fast-moving trains to make a stop.

At the event, Rafidah also handed Merdeka awards comprising a cash prize of RM500 and certificate each to nine recipients who excelled in various fields.

However, they have installed new faregates with card reader......that card reader is meant for Visa Wave, not Touch n Go card...

When the main operation of intercity trains was shifted to KL Sentral few years ago, it was quiet, especially on the side platform...

Since the start of KL-Ipoh shuttle train, in a way, more people using the old KL station again...

Ridership on the shuttle train, is very good, in my train, about 1 pm from Ipoh....it was almost full, even second class coach was packed...

Ridership on the shuttle train, is very good, in my train, about 1 pm from Ipoh....it was almost full, even second class coach was packed...That's good news, good to hear. I think it is time to push KTM to build a canopy over the platform as well.

Just curious - where do the intercity shuttle trains start from? KL Sentral or Kuala Lumpur?

And what about the KTM shuttle trains and the 'hybrid' shuttle trains? I recall that when they were announcing the hybrid trains the captions under the pictures said "KL Sentral" though you could clearly see that it was Kuala Lumpur station.

I cannot seem to find this info from KTM themselves but maybe Im looking in the wrong place.

Still looking forward to going to Ipoh by train along with my motorcycle.

Went to KL Station today, they are setting up for tomorrow's handover ceremony and "prebiu" of the new ETS trainset

"prebiu" is a bahasification of "preview" in case you were wondering :bash: :ohno:

Anyways, the public prebiu will take place tomorrow at Kuala Lumpur from 12-5 pm and Tuesday at Ipoh station from 9-5.

Part of the renovations to Platform 2 & 3 of the south platform of KL Station (the old station area) involves raising the level of the platform to the same height as Komuter trains.

But they have also closed off the stairs to Platform 2 & 3 from the tunnel which is a bit strange. Better to put fare gates or a semi-permanent barrier instead of closing the tunnel access.

Cheers, m

Still, it is good to see that the Kuala Lumpur station retain its role as the stop for intercity trains, unlike what it was envisioned when the KL Sentral opened.

http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/1296/36886940.jpg

For those who loves natures, feast your eyes on the famed Gunung Ledang or also known as Mount Ophir with the height of 1276m. The beautiful mount stands towards the south west from a small town named Gemas that lies at the border of Negeri Sembilan and Johor state . Gemas is located approximately 165km from KL .

Gemas is now comparatively busy for a town of its size where it is connected to both North-South Expressway and West and East Coast rail lines operated by Malaysian Railway system.

Soon, a new Gemas Station will be built and act as another hub for railway operation. The town will becoming one of the busiest town that interconnects throughout the entire regions . Not only it has connected to West and East Coast rail line, it will also continue stretching the railway lines up to Johor Bharu.

Facilities to be provided at the station:
Ticket Counter/Automatic Vending Machine
Surau
Parking
CCTV
Telephone booth
Toilet
Information Display
Public Address System
Lift
Retail
VIP Waiting Room
Pedestrian Bridge for Passanger and Public

Facilities for Disabled :
Disabled Toilet
Disabled Parking
Ramp
Tactile Floor

nazrey, i suppose Gemas is located in the state of Negeri Sembilan

I wonder the bridge will be longer than the Bank Negara- Bandaraya or not.

I would imagine it to be the same length!!!

The Bank Negara- Bandaraya bridge is 77 meters long. The shortest possible bridge link to Pasar Seni is 95 meters. There will be about 323 meters to walk from the existing KL Komuter platform to pasar seni. So, Kl Sentral is still the choice to interchange to KJL...

If the walking distance is the big hurdle then its a shame.From the day they moved to sentral i wish they can find creative ways to still use this old station.Its such a waste.

There is a museum in it, it gives me the information about the railway history that is useful for my school sejarah project.

I think that the existence of museum is great, but it can be further improved, by detailing more stories on history of KTM in the past and also, recent modernisation.

As for the bus terminal, it should definitely be moved from there. It is just the wrong place for a bus terminal. There is a large carpark on the other side of the tracks that would be a far better site for the buses (as well as the Seremban-bound buses).

Interesting news...it looks like the Medan Kidd bus terminal in Ipoh will be expanded and rebuilt as Ipoh Sentral.

With the connection to KTM intercity and ETS service, plus busses, this 'Sentral' will actually be better and more 'integrated' and 'intermodal' than the original KL Sentral.

So the bus terminal be rebuilt and a pedestrian walkway to be built to connect the railway station?
It's about 400 to 500m walking distance...
Or we recommend the long escalator just like in airport?

In my view, i never though that Gemas station will look like the station in India..... as it is at the railway junction of toward North South and East, its should be 100 times better than the current one. Right?

Weed growing on the railway track from Pasir Mas to Rantau Panjang since this section is out of use ... no cross border trains since 1984-5 ... wiht a brief exception when Wannor telling SRT to run Hat Yai - Sugei Golok - Wakaf baru diesel railcar rapid in 2002 ...

The insurgency in the South has dash the change to revie regular cross border service on Sugei Golok - Rantau Panjang - Pasir Mas ....

On the other hand, the regular cargo services alogn with the IE 35/36 and Lankawi Special Express 953/954 (accordign to SRTc records) with with regular basis. .. so the black garbage sacks with smuggle stuffs ...

Thanks Lohxy and Wisarut.

I never known that the train service between Sg Golok and Rantau Panjang was terminated. its too bad but Rantau Panjang still boom rite?

anyway, there is a massive project from KTMB in Padang Besar, any detail from there?

^^

That's Ipoh-Padang Besar electrified double tracking project...

It will extend the reach of electrified rail track from Ipoh to Padang Besar, about 320-something kilometres away.

How i wish station designs in double tracking project can be different and not uniform.

oxox double posting oxoxo

I agree sometimes some of the stations along the double tracking only needs minor upgrading instead they go overboardlah.They dont have to go far only australia, some of the stations there dont even have shelter even if they do its a small little pondok:lol:

Actually, i think railway stations should be built just like jigsaw puzzle or LEGO style.

Same component shape, but we can manipulate it to create different shape just like LEGO, haha.

Ipoh station is nice whaaaat.

But I agree that old stations should be restored and refurbished first if possible and whatever expansions should suit the original architecture (if possible larr). These are mainlines stations afterall, should reflect the towns/cities they're in. Cookie cutter stations is good only for LRT stations. he he. But thennnnnn, sen x dak apa nak buat.

Ipoh station is nice and preserves elements of past.

My question is on stations along the double tracking line.....they all look too uniform.

Good example of preserving old structure is the Seremban station.

JOHOR: The 80-year-old Johor Baru train station will call it a day by the end of next month when it will be turned into a train museum, the largest of its kind in the country.

Once the station is closed, all train operations here will be shifted to JB Sentral, a stone's throw away, which is the transport hub in the city centre.

Preparation and renovation works will pave the way for the opening of the museum, scheduled for the last quarter of the year.

Visitors will see old and rare railway exhibits.

Among them will be the token and signal systems, log books, seats, as well as uniforms of railway workers used from the day Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd started operations.

KTMB southern region manager Tariq Umar Mohamed said this will be the second museum of its kind after the Kuala Lumpur station, which opened to the public in 2006, and occupies the space of two rooms. "However, the Johor Baru train museum will occupy the whole complex and feature more exhibits. It is set to become a new tourist attraction in the city centre," he said.

Tariq said the museum was KTMB's idea, adding that the building will have a cafeteria for the convenience of visitors .

The existing Johor Baru station, at Jalan Tun Razak, was built in 1931 at a cost of RM75,900 by Swan & Mac Larden, which also built the Johor Baru South police station and the Johor Baru courthouse.

Prior to that, from 1917, all the train services operated from a small wooden building near the station.

The architectural design of the double-storey station is colonial in style. In the early days, guest rooms were on the top floor.

"Today, they are used for administrative purposes.

The Johor Baru station is the last stop before Singapore. Its nearest station to the north is at the Danga City Mall, 2km away.

hope not to be converted to be like the KL railway station

hope not to be converted to be like the KL railway station

what's wrong with kl railway station? at least it still has passenger service. ktm komuter and kl-ipoh intercity.

The KL station museum ...

I dual function a museum and a operating station.

I dual function a museum and a operating station.Kuala Lumpur station? Or JB station?

JB station stops operating at the end of July so it will be fully converted to a museum - I can only hope that they will also showcase the cross-border travel relationship & JB transport - not just KTMB.

As for the Kuala Lumpur station mini-museum - it is nice enough but needs to be expanded - there are many places where adaptive reuse can be introduced to the railway station.

Also, it would be far better if the intercity bus services were moved to the parking lot at the side of the train station or behind it - giving a much nicer layout & view.

Cheers, m

Would be great if they can turn the KL station just like the National Railway Museum in York. I read somewhere that KTMB have a few of those steam locos around yes ? And those decommissioned pre-Komuter KTMB port klang - KL railbuses from so long ago would be a great exhibit (if they still have those around that is)

Allurban for sure KL station ,I think JB station no needlah may be they can turn that into a museum dedicated to the history of the causewaylah.The intercity bus terminal i totally agree with u because the parking lot facing the river is ideal for it.Bukhrin Thats a good idealah KTM very own hall of shame with all the junks the bought over the years:banana::cheers::ohno:

Ha ha,

Aren't all museum are ? But then junks to some would be treasure troves for others. And 125 years really ARE something to shout about.

125 years, a long period.

Lots of story can be told.

It is only very recently (1990's and 2000's), KTMB experienced much needed modernisation, in terms of tracks, trains and also the stations.

Nazrey,

Good job, Nazrey! Hope to see more photos from you.

Train system of Malaysia has every potential to be as advanced as those in UK and Japan, who already have very matured and developed train systems decades ago. I really hope the government can seriously make some effort to build something beneficial to the people by improving the train system in this country.

KL train station is among the

‘JB Sentral epitomises Iskandar Malaysia potential’
June 27, 2010, Sunday

JOHOR BAHARU: JB Sentral, a spanking new complex here, epitomises not only the development of Johor but also the potential of Iskandar Malaysia, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said yesterday.

He said the RM2 billion project, which formed part of the Southern Gateway development, was also expected to contribute to the Government Transformation Programme in the country’s march towards a developed nation by 2020.

“JB Sentral is not only a public transit station and a train transportation hub in the same league as KL Sentral but also a hub for international train services.

“This complex will become a one-stop centre because it also houses commercial lots as well as offices of government and private agencies,” he said.

Muhyiddin was speaking at the opening of the JB Sentral by the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim, and the launching of Kembara Mahkota Johor 2010 yesterday.

Muhyiddin said the facility, which has a gross floor area of 87,330 sq metres, would provide new job opportunities to the people and increase their earnings.

The government was also expected to collect RM3.6 million a year in rentals, he said. — Bernama

“JB Sentral will ease traffic movement in the city’s commercial centre and acts as a main stop-over for people commuting between Malaysia and Singapore,” he said of the complex which has 726 parking lots, 18 commercial lots and 30 kiosks.

He called on the JB Sentral management to care for the new complex and adopt a good maintenance system.

He added that services at JB Sentral should be efficient in line with its modern facilities. — Bernama

Roh pun sayangkan stesen Tanjong Pagar
Oleh YEO LI SHIAN 14 Ogos 2010
http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/content.asp?y=2010&dt=0814&pub=Kosmo&sec=Rencana_Utama&pg=ru_01.htm

http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/pix/2010/0814/Kosmo/Rencana_Utama/ru_01.1.jpg

PAGI itu, Shamsul Bahri bergerak perlahan ke platform pelepasan tren. Dua bendera merah dan hijau yang ada di dalam genggaman tangan kanannya dipegang elok-elok. Siap mengambil posisi tepat di atas platform berdekatan hujung tren, sejurus wisel ditiup, bendera merah dan hijau diangkat bersilih ganti. Gerabak kereta api yang dilepaskan seawal pukul 4.30 pagi itu bergerak perlahan-lahan dan lenyap daripada pandangan.

Tiba-tiba, hati Pengurus Stesen Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) Tanjong Pagar di Singapura itu sayu. Sayu bukan kerana melihat kereta api itu yang akan menuju ke Tumpat, Kelantan.

Sebaliknya rasa sayu Shamsul, 43, bertempat. Jika semuanya berjalan mengikut perancangan, pada tahun hadapan, dia tidak mungkin lagi berdiri di platform tersebut dan melakukan rutin serupa. Perkhidmatan di Stesen Tanjong Pagar bakal berakhir apabila operasinya dipindahkan ke Terminal Pemeriksaan Keretapi Woodlands (WTCP) mulai 1 Julai 2011.

Persetujuan antara kerajaan Malaysia dan Singapura itu sekali gus menandakan berakhirnya sisa-sisa peninggalan warisan Tanah Melayu di Singapura. Dibina pada tahun 1932, ia dirasmikan oleh Gabenor Negeri Selat, Sir Cecil Clementi Smith. Stesen Tanjong Pagar yang terletak di Keppel Road itu telah menjadi periuk nasi buat bapa kepada empat orang anak itu sejak 15 tahun lalu.

http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/pix/2010/0814/Kosmo/Rencana_Utama/ru_01.2.jpg

DIBINA pada tahun 1932, Stesen Tanjong Pagar yang berusia 78 tahun
meninggalkan pelbagai memori kepada ramai orang.

Di stesen berusia hampir lapan dekad itu, satu ikatan persahabatan termeterai. Shamsul menyifatkannya lebih daripada sebuah stesen kereta api biasa, malah ia menjadi rumah kedua dan sebahagian daripada kehidupannya.

Jika dikira, hampir separuh daripada tempoh kerjayanya dihabiskan di stesen yang terletak di tengah-tengah hab pelabuhan Kota Singa itu. Lebih tepat, Stesen Tanjong Pagar merupakan tonggak pengorbanannya selama ini. Di sini, tersimpan banyak kenangan dan nilai sentimental buat Shamsul.

“Seingat saya, ketika mula-mula berpindah, saya sangat teruja. Saya berpeluang tengok negara orang. Tetapi ini bermakna saya dan isteri serta anak-anak terpaksa berjauhan. Mereka di Gemas, Negeri Sembilan,” ceritanya kepada Kosmo! sambil memberitahu anak sulungnya sempat menghabiskan pengajian sehingga darjah tiga di Singapura sebelum berhijrah ke Gemas.

Jika tugas memerlukannya bekerja pada awal pagi, ruang kecil yang terletak di belakang pejabat dan kelihatan seperti stor itu menjadi lokasi dia melelapkan mata.

Sambil melabuhkan punggungnya di atas sebuah kerusi empuk berwarna hitam, lelaki yang memulakan kerjaya dalam bidang kereta api sebagai pemotong tiket sejak tahun 1986 itu menyambung cerita.

Peralatan antik

Tidak perlu lagi mengawal operasi samboyan tren, ada tugasan lebih signifikan yang diamanahkan kepadanya. Wisel dan dua bendera itu adalah simbolik kredibiliti seorang ketua stesen untuk menerima ketibaan serta melepaskan tren setiap hari.

“Dulu, kita tidak pakai wisel untuk melepaskan tren, tetapi menggunakan loceng tembaga ini. Setiap kali dibunyikan, penumpang akan berlari pantas mencari-cari pintu tren kerana takut ketinggalan,” katanya sambil ketawa besar.

Loceng seberat tiga kilogram (kg) itu merupakan antara peralatan peninggalan British yang masih kekal di Stesen Tanjong Pagar. Sepasang lampu gerabak akhir atau tail lamp berwarna hitam juga masih dijaga dengan baik. Lampu itu berfungsi sebagai petunjuk kepada ketua stesen bahawa gerabak tersebut adalah yang terakhir.

Tumpuan jurufoto

Mempelawa penulis dan jurugambar Kosmo!, Nooradzrene Mohd. Noor ke platform ketibaan, Shamsul menyatakan menjadi kerugian buat kami andai tidak melihat sendiri cara pergerakan kereta api dialihkan dari satu landasan ke landasan yang lain menggunakan kaedah lama. Alat itu ialah tiga tuas buatan zaman British yang terletak di landasan pelepasan, ketibaan dan Platform Tiga. Tiada sistem motor atau hidraulik, tuas yang berusia sekitar seabad itu diperbuat daripada besi padu dan dikendalikan secara mekanikal.

Ada satu lagi peralatan yang perlu anda tahu. Sistem blok mutlak (key token system) yang diperkenalkan di Britain pada abad ke-19 turut memiliki nilai sentimental bagi Shamsul.

“Semasa bertugas di Stesen Paloh, saya agak takut pada mulanya kerana dalam keadaan kereta api yang bergerak laju, saya perlu menyerahkan token kepada pemandu. Token ialah kuasa untuk pemandu kereta api bagi meneruskan perjalanan ke stesen seterusnya,” tambahnya.

http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/pix/2010/0814/Kosmo/Rencana_Utama/ru_01.4.jpg

JAM antik yang menjadi penunjuk peredaran zaman.

Tiga hari berada di stesen tersebut, satu pemandangan yang tidak lekang di mata penulis adalah kelibat ramai jurugambar amatur dan profesional dari dalam dan luar Singapura. Semuanya mahu merakam gambar-gambar terbaik di stesen klasik itu.

Sejak penutupan Stesen Tanjong Pagar disahkan baru-baru ini, hampir setiap hari stesen tersebut dibanjiri oleh jurugambar. Begitu asyik memetik butang kamera, ramai juga yang tidak sedar telah melepasi kawasan larangan mengambil foto.

Mural-mural berwarna-warni ala motif batik pada kedua-dua blok dinding tinggi di ruang menunggu itu merupakan lambang senario kemakmuran sosioekonomi Tanah Melayu ketika stesen itu dibina. Setiap lukisan mural memaparkan aktiviti sosioekonomi masyarakat seperti menanam padi, kegiatan memunggah di pelabuhan, menoreh getah dan melombong. Malah, cucu pelukis mural itu pernah sampai ke Tanjong Pagar semata-mata untuk melihat lukisan mural datuknya.

“Hanya generasi lama macam saya yang tahu tentang titik permulaan tempat ini. Sayang rasanya bila ia ditutup kelak. Harap-harap bangunan penuh nostalgia ini tidak akan dirobohkan,” kata Yu-Nam, 60, kepada Kosmo!.

Sebagai terminal kereta api pertama di Singapura, pembinaan Stesen Tanjong Pagar sebenarnya bertujuan untuk menggantikan stesen kereta api utama di Tank Road yang dibina pada tahun 1903.

Jurugambar amatur dari Kota Singa itu menyifatkan struktur seni bina bangunan yang dipengaruhi oleh arkitek Stesen Helsinki di Finland, Eliel Saarinen itu subjek terbaik untuk diabadikan dalam seni fotografi. Malah, bapa kepada dua orang anak itu juga berharap generasi akan datang masih berpeluang melihat stesen itu walaupun sekadar membacanya daripada buku sejarah.

Malah, dekorasi luar stesen yang memaparkan empat buah patung batu marmar putih rekaan Rudolfo Nolli itu juga memiliki nilai tersendiri.

Perdagangan, agrikultur, industri dan pelabuhan adalah empat bidang kemakmuran sosioekonomi Tanah Melayu yang dilambangkan menerusi empat patung manusia tersebut.

Pendapatan tiket

Sivasangkar Munusamy, 35, dari Pulau Pinang turut berasa sedih dengan keputusan pengalihan operasi stesen tersebut.

Pengurus kanan salah sebuah restoran yang kini menetap di Singapura mengakui, dia sering memberitahu isterinya tentang memori membesar dengan kereta api Tanjong Pagar.

Sementara itu, menurut pengamatan Shamsul, pengangkutan kereta api KTMB itu sangat popular di kalangan orang Singapura dan pelancong asing. Ketiadaan persaingan bas pada awal tahun 2000 membuatkan penumpang sanggup beratur panjang semata-mata untuk mendapatkan tiket.

“Malah, pada tahun 1980-an, pendapatan kutipan tiket pernah mencecah sehingga S$40,000 (RM93,346) sehari. Jadi, bayangkan betapa banyak yang diraih dalam sebulan.

“Waktu itu, kita guna kipas pusing, tingkap terbuka dan anak-anak kecil juga dibuai di dalam kereta api. Sesekali penumpang keluarkan kepala dari tingkap, hitam muka mereka terkena asap kereta api,” terangnya sambil memberitahu pelancong asing banyak memuji signifikan perkhidmatan kereta api dari Singapura ke Malaysia pada ketika itu.

Purata bilangan kemasukan penumpang ke Malaysia termasuk warga tempatan yang bekerja di Singapura adalah sekitar 350 penumpang sehari pada hari-hari biasa. Ia dianggap sebagai satu pencapaian yang baik tanpa sebarang promosi pemasaran.

Pelancong asing terutama yang berasal dari India lazimnya mendominasi populasi penumpang. Jumlah bilangan bagasi yang banyak dan berkunci pula menjadikan kereta api KTMB di Tanjong Pagar sebagai pengangkutan utama mereka seperti di kampung halaman sendiri.

STESEN Tanjong Pagar dibanjiri jurufoto amatur
dan profesional hampir setiap hari.

Sekitar tahun 1980-an, tingkat dua dan tiga di bangunan stesen yang juga terkenal dengan nama Stesen Keretapi Keppel Road itu pernah menempatkan bilik-bilik hotel dan bar. Dikendalikan oleh seorang tauke Cina, hotel 100 bilik itu dilengkapi pelbagai keperluan asas termasuk kipas angin, tab mandi dan pintu kayu berkualiti tinggi. Sama seperti bangunan-bangunan klasik yang lain, Stesen Tanjong Pagar banyak menyimpan cerita-cerita misteri.

“Ramai yang sangat sayang Stesen Tanjong Pagar. Malah, roh-roh askar zaman British pun masih berkeliaran di sini,” tambah Shamsul.

Cheers, m

KTM can make money from the station if they could JV with private to conserve, refurbish, and commercialize it. just like how they did with YTL in sentul park.

KTM can make money from the station if they could JV with private to conserve, refurbish, and commercialize it. just like how they did with YTL in sentul park.no doubt they could. The first thing they could do is get rid of the parking lots on the east side and build...oh wait, they cannot build anything that overlooks the train station.

So what can they do? No one is going to go hang out at Kuala Lumpur station, unless you make it part of the new hotel that will be built next to the KTM headquarters.

Cheers, m

Surely it can be one of the best railway museum/tourist information center /hotel!in the world!It can also be SPADs headquarters why rent at sentral?I know wishful thinking of me as long its not KTM running the show i think it has half a chance.(something like londons underground museum at covent garden)

Yeap, betol, KTM has been around for 100 years plus already. For sure they would have some things museum-grade wise. Those bricked EMUs and those pre-komuter Railbuses and some steam locos would be a great start. I've been to the National Railway Museum in York and I can say they do have an awesome collection of stuffs. A museum full of trains! It was the happiest day of my life. :D

:)I remember those railbuses.For under RM$2 JB to Spore,When they cant get parts for it thats the end of it!

i just can't help thinking that a rail museum at an old railway station, a royal museum at and old palace is just plain,boring and unimaginative and expected

i dont think that one of london famous attraction, will be as famous,if they had build a power station museum inside an old power station

plz kl,do someyhing interesting

New/fresh ideas please:)

It was the happiest day of my life. :DKuala Lumpur is a working station so the only way they can put static rail displays is to put them on the east side of the platform where they would be in the sun & exposed to the rain. The east side of the complex is being used for offices and the west side still has the KTM parcel delivery service.

Sentul would have been the best place for a railway museum. Pasar Seni would be the best place for an urban rail museum if they had planned the urban rail network properly (with the LRT lines interchanging at Pasar Seni, not Masjid Jamek).

But honestly, as much as I want to preserve the heritage of M'sian railways, I'm more interested in preserving the future of M'sian railways with good public transport policy making, excellent quality planning and timely investment - and of course, with openness, transparency and accountability.

IPOH: The Majestic Station Hotel, located within the Ipoh Railway Station here, is closing down after 76 years.

http://thestar.com.my/archives/2011/3/11/nation/n_36hotel.jpg

Opened in 1935, at the same time as the railway station, the hotel will house its last batch of guests today and will cease all operations by the end of the month.

It is understood that the hotel premises will be handed back to the Railway Asset Corporation (RAC) as the lease is expiring.

When contacted, an RAC spokesperson said the corporation had not decided on what it would do with the premises.More heritage slowly, quietly lost.

Cheers, m

Singapore to conserve historic railway stations
Two railway stations to be returned by Malaysia to Singapore will be conserved as historic sites, officials announced Friday following a citizens' campaign to save the buildings from destruction.

There were fears that the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, located on prime real estate on the fringes of the central business district, would be turned into yet another shopping mall or condominium in construction-mad Singapore.

A government statement said the art deco-style terminal would be a national monument, while the smaller Bukit Timah station close to the Malaysian border would also be conserved, in recognition of their "deep historical significance".

Both were built during British colonial rule over the two countries as part of a railway line that serviced Singapore, Malaya and Thailand.

The Malaysian federation retained ownership of railway land and structures within Singapore after the two countries separated in 1965, and the stations became part of a long-running spat that periodically strained relations.

In May 2010, both countries agreed Malaysia would cede ownership of the land in exchange for real estate in two of Singapore's most expensive districts.

The agreement sparked concerns that the Singapore government would convert the shabby buildings to commercial use, triggering an online petition to save the buildings for posterity.

Carolyn Seet, an information technology specialist who started the petition, welcomed the government's announcement on the Tanjong Pagar station.

"Needless to say, I'm very happy. Hopefully, they will keep it open to the public. My wish is basically it will be a transportation museum like the one in London," she told AFP.

She also suggested the station can be "a place for people to reminisce, and see how far Singapore has come, from the humble rickshaw to the modern driverless" train system.

Thats good news.I sure like to see what they can do with it that KTM cant with the old KL main station.:lol:neither one is particularly "well-located" in terms of having "the city" nearby - KL is probably located 'closer' to the city than Tg. Pagar but it is harder to get there because of the roadways design.

On the other hand, Tg. Pagar does look better and it can probably be included as a short museum stop on a tour of Mt. Faber or Sentosa.

True but lets wait and see what the singaporeans come up with:)

True but lets wait and see what the singaporeans come up with:)Agreed. I think they will find a way to make the site(s) work even if it the location(s) is/are not so great.

Cheers, m

Thats for sure:)That part of the island will be the extension of the CBD once they shut down the cargo terminal when its lease runs out

Thats for sure:)That part of the island will be the extension of the CBD once they shut down the cargo terminal when its lease runs outwhich terminal :) the rail terminal or the Keppel sea terminal or the Tg. Pagar sea terminal?

Also, I wonder what will happen to rail cargo. One thing that always made me wonder about the KTM rail link into Singapore was why the rail link did not connect to the cargo terminal - because there is a huge opportunity for railway transhipment being lost and a lot of congestion on the highways that can be reduced.

I know the KTM railway is cannot handle a lot of freight shipment (because it is only single track in many areas - but really, an investment in expanding the railway in Malaysia would be of huge benefit to Singapore - especially for the freight & cargo side.

Cheers, m

The container terminal i think its pulau brani facing sentosa island thats is just across the railway station(tanjung pager)When it comes to rail cargo its such waste what a golden opportunity gone down the drain by KTM,Even if doesn't serve tg pager there is pasir panjang and jurong terminals.I just hate seeing year after year the long line of trucks at causeway forever taking over the slow lane heading into singapore!

^^ Nice, still some preservation going on....

They could have done more, sometimes the stations look so out of place(too modern for the serounding area (tapah station)

saya rasa x kisah pon moden dimana2...nnti sume org termasuk dibandar mahupun desa dapat mengecapi kemodenan bersama... :)

I suggest old wooden railway station to be retained, but with modification such as enlarged passenger area and higher platform to meet the needs of the new railway infrastructure.

Its probably the same guy who design the stations for the ERL since its the same company!I like its simple and low maintenance.

Less is more right...and the most important thing is it is functional.

Thats the bottom line! Some if not most of the stations in australia and europe its just platform and if lucky there is a little pondok for shelter,But for sure there will be enough parking for cars.
