So it's time to check out the railway station of Johor Bahru...
Like most railway stations in Malaysia, it is a remnant of the British colonial era.
But unlike most, it is among the few built with substantial size.
Well, what do you expect? Johor Bahru being the modern capital of the state of Johor was an important town and now a bustling huge city. Apart from serving locals heading to the east and north, the station is also a main gateway to the to the island city-state of Singapura.
Hmm... what do you call this? A poster, a mural or something else? Anyway it contains some history of the Malaysian railway. Remind me next time to take a better and sharper picture with higher megapixels. For the record, my new camera can shot 12 MP, my old one 8 MP. But yet I prefer to set the shots to 3 MP to conserve space... :]
Here you can see part of the new train station.
Actually it is new building which would integrate train and bus services with the customs and immigration checkpoint for leaving and entering Singapura.
When I was here in February, it was only partially opened...
So people still use the old railway station while I understand new rails have been installed a level higher to the left.
JB skyline from inside the new building.
Like KL Sentral which have replaced the classic British-built Kuala Lumpur railway as the main centre in town, this building would soon rise up to prominence.
