KL Station

This is the grandmother of all building in Kuala Lumpur.
This majestic building was once the train hub in the country.
Every single train will stop by this central station and every train will leave from this staion.
Train from Singapore or Thailand will stop here too.

Now this building is kind of abandoned...because a new SENTRAL STATION has been built which incorperated the subway, the electric komuter, the train and the monorail.

This station now merely served as one of the stop for the electric komuter and also as a heritage hotel.

k-> this is because this old station no longer able to hold the large capacity of the travellers...
and it is only for conventional train...

hence the goverment decided to build a brand new CENTRAL STATION which is huge and modern and combine the aerotrain link,the monorail, the light rail transit, conventional train, electric train and also a check-in area for air passenger travelling through the station.
