Singapore - Getting There By Rail

Malaysian Railway (KTM) (tel: 6222 5165; www.ktmb.com.my) operates services from Singapore Railway Station, on Keppel Road, Tanjong Pagar, just south of the Central Business District. The station has two restaurants, book shops and immigration and customs.

Rail services:
Trains depart daily for destinations in Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and a daily service to Kluang. Air-conditioned express trains to Kuala Lumpur leave three times a day (journey time - 7 hours). The journey to Johor Bahru takes around 50 minutes with six daily departures (four express). Keppel Road is also the departure point for the three-day Eastern & Oriental Express (tel: 6395 0678; www.orient-express.com) to Kuala Lumpur, Butterworth, Penang, Kwai, and Bangkok.

Transport to the city:
The railway station is not served by the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), although Tanjong Pagar MRT is a 20-minute walk away. Buses can be infrequent so the best way into the city is to queue for a taxi or telephone for one (see Taxis in Getting Around).
