THE STATION

station entranceSungkai Railway Station

A modern ETS railway station of the usual design. There is no sign of the old station nearby.

WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE STATION

The new railway station has been built a considerable distance away from the town centre (too far to walk). You won't find a taxi or bus either. Some new developments are under construction in front of the station but for now there is nothing within walking distance other than a few kampong houses.
