on-on Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Don't knock it. King Power are the only thing paying for the new airport and the new rail link.I think I'll knock it anyway, heh. I'm thrilled to have the new airport and rail link and if KP is responsible for that then great, but that monstrosity of a shopping complex they've built is hilariously tacky.

I presume you are commenting on the new, well at least 3 years old complex in Bangers itself. I totally agree with you, the prices made me choke laffing, poor girls trying to sell me sumfin. If he IS coffing big bucks for the rail, (hard to believe), lucky us travellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samgrowth Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 IN KL train station, you can check in your bags there only if you buy the train ticket too (35MYR). Once I was early and wanted to check in at the train station and take the airport bus (10MYR); bus also run from the train station. Sorry no can do.

powderpuff Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hey Crossy. I got aq good look at the tracks today. Remind me again the difference between the third rail system of the BTS & these ugly ass overhead lines of this new SRT line. Either one better for the toorential rain we get here? I know the overhead lines carry more current but sheesh they are ugly. Is the new plan that the Express train will pass the city line by the use of laybys? That ought to be fun. We can have a pool as to when the first big crash will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhgz Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 "I know the overhead lines carry more current but sheesh they are ugly." This has been covered many times, and I guess once more won't hurt. The overhead lines are required for a high speed train. The "3rd rail" system used by the BTS and MRT is not sufficient for a fast train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderpuff Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Clearly I already knew that. Are you a teacher? Better confine it to students - not adults. Crossy will come on here with some facts - tits on a boar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the trains being tested again yesterday, first the City Train went by followed a couple of minutes later by the Express, guess they were just playing chicken.

theoldgit Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 They have announced that the Airport Link has been delayed yet again, no target date for scheduled opening, just a delay of a few months - <deleted>!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, those maglev systems in use elsewhere have overhead lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
