Getting There By Rail Malayan Railway (tel: 6222 5165) operates services from Singapore Railway Station, on Keppel Road, Tanjong Pagar, just south of the Central Business District. The facilities are basic but there is a newspaper/food kiosk. Rail services: Trains depart daily for destinations in Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Butterworth. Air-conditioned express trains to Kuala Lumpur leave three times a day with journeys taking between five and six hours. The journey to Johor Bahru takes around 30 minutes with four daily departures. There are five normal daily services to Kuala Lumpur. Keppel Road is also the departure point for the Eastern & Orient Express (tel: 6392 3500) to Kuala Lumpur, Kwai, Penang and Bangkok. Transport to the city: The railway station is not served by the MRT, although Tanjong Pagar MRT is a ten-minute walk away. Buses can be infrequent so the best way into the city is to queue for a taxi or to telephone one (see Getting Around). |
