The Kuala Lumpur–Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) was a planned railway from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Singapore via a high-speed rail line. This would be a new line on a different route to the current KL-Singapore railway.
The high-speed railway would travel at a speed of 320km/h over 350 kilometres, with a travel time of 90 minutes for the express service. There would also be a service stopping at six stations between Singapore and KL.
Kuala Lumpur–Singapore high-speed rail history
Plans for a high-speed line were proposed after the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, and was revived in 2010. In 2013 the leaders of the two countries agreed to go ahead with the project. Planning continued for the project over the next few years, and by the end of 2106 a bilateral agreement for the development was formally signed by the two countries’ Prime Ministers.
Work was due to begin on the project in 2108, but then in May 2018 a new government was elected in Malaysia, sweeping out the party that had been in power since Malaysian independence in 1959. Within a month of the election, the new government announced it would cancel the project. It later backtracked and said the project would be postponed pending investigation of costs. The project was finally cancelled by Malaysia in January 2021.
An alternative to flying
There is perhaps no other city pair in the world that is more ideal for an international high-speed train service than Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
In 2018 Singapore – Kuala Lumpur became the world’s busiest international flight route. It’s only about 30 minutes of flying time, but time is lost by clearing immigration and getting to and from the airports.
For the train service, immigration proceedings of both countries’ would be done at the point of departure (similar to how Eurostar operates). That means you can walk straight off the train with your bags and onwards to local transport. For point-to-point travel the train would be faster than flying.
Stations
There will be eight stations in total, with seven in Malaysia and one in Singapore. The two terminal stations will be incorporated into urban redevelopment projects in each city. They will be new central business districts that plan to capitalise on their location near the terminals.
Kuala Lumpur
Location: Bandar Malaysia
The high-speed railway will be at a new station and not the current main train station (KL Sentral). Bandar Malaysia is at the site of the old airport and former air force base (Sungai Besi Airport). The site is close to the city centre, presenting an opportunity to design a terminal station around a new city, and integrate it with the new metro line. Read more about the Bandar Malaysia project.
Sepang-Putrajaya
Location: Kampung Abu Bakar Baginda
Seremban
Location: Labu
Seremban is the only station that intersects with a town on the KTM line. It’s not mentioned if there is an interchange or if the stations are in different parts of the city.
Ayer Keroh
Location: Ayer Keroh, Melaka
Melaka is one of the biggest tourism drawcards of Malaysia, but it doesn’t have a railway line. The station would be about 13km from the Melaka old town area, so shuttle buses timed with arriving trains would make an easy day trip from KL or Singapore.
Muar
Location: Bandar Universiti Pagoh
Batu Pahat
Location: Pura Kencana, Sri Gading
Iskandar Puteri
Location: Gerbang Nusajaya
Singapore
Location: Jurong East
Singapore used to have a central railway station, but that closed down in 2011 and the line was decommissioned.
The Singapore terminal will be in a new urban area in Jurong East. There is a plan to develop a second CDB here known as Jurong Lake District. If they get this right it might become a destination in its own right.
Jurong East is on the East-West MRT line, which connects the city centre to Changi Airport.
