KTMB Mini Museum (Southern Region)

KTMB Mini Museum (Southern Region) is a mini-museum located at the former site of Johor Bahru Railway Station. During its usage as a railway station, it has 2 side platforms and 4 tracks. Originally it was opened in 1909 and closed in 2010. Throughout its life, it has been rebuilt one time, which is on 1932.

When the Johor Bahru Railway Station is replaced by JB Sentral Railway Station on October 21st, 2010, the old station had its Platform 2 and the extra tracks dismantled.

It had also acted as the railway immigration control outpost of the Malaysian Customs and Immigration, with immigration facilities only available for southbound passengers bound to Singapore. Meanwhile, passengers from Singapore will have their immigration process cleared before boarding the train at Woodlands Train Checkpoints.

KTMB New Website

[November 13th 2012] KTM Berhad has changed their website design quite a number of times this year. Access time has improved throughout the years but it is still not as user friendly as some other transport service websites.

Six yellow boxes link to the most commonly visited link in the website. This is a nice addition with the new version.

Of another note, if you need a guide on using KTMB e-Ticket, visit this page for more information.
