Ipoh KTM Railway Station
About The Station
The Ipoh KTM Railway Station is a KTM train station located at and named
after the City of Ipoh, Perak. It serves as the main railway terminal for
the state of Perak. The Station offering KTM ETS services, as well as
handling freight trains.
The Ipoh Railway Station was initially meant to be a hospital and used
before the 20th century as such before being turned into a station. The
original completion year of 1917 was delayed for three years due to lack of
construction materials as well as high costs during World War I.
Like the Kuala Lumpur station, the Ipoh station were designed and
constructed by Arthur Benison Hubback, a British architectural assistant to
the Director of Public Works. Having served in India, Hubback utilised his
knowledge of Anglo-Asian architecture in the region on the station's design.
The "Neo-Moorish/Mughal/Indo-Saracenic/Neo-Saracenic" style was not uncommon
at the time.
As part of KTM's double tracking and electrification project between Ipoh
and Rawang, the Ipoh station was significant renovated over the course of
the 2000s (decade). Prominently, the platform area was completely rebuilt
and modernised to level the platforms' height with entrances to train
carriages as well as accommodate the newly laid double track and overhead
lines (these included replacement of the original underground tunnels
between platforms and steel-and-wood pitched canopies with an overhead
bridge and curving metal canopies).
The Ipoh Station was used as a shooting location for the film Anna and the
King, starring Jodie Foster.
