Assuming an Anglo-Asian architecture, the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station was designed by an English architect, Arthur Benison Hubback. It had a main terminal located right in its front with three platforms in the back for the four railway lines. The main building was of Mughal architecture with Western influences. There are horseshoes and ogee arch designs on the building, and the shiny roof coverings of the platforms were designed to be partially open for air to come through. The platforms were enclosed by walls and the main building does not appear to be connected to it, but two underground passageways actually connect them.

Nowadays, although it is no longer used as a transportation center, the KTM Komuter uses it as one of its stations. It is also used as a bus station by the NICE Executive Coach and Plusliner Economy Express that runs from Malaysia to Singapore and back. And even though it’s not as popular with commuters as it used to be, the building is still very popular to many art-lovers, photographers, architects and historians.
