Kuala Lumpur Railway Station

This guide to the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station follows Arthur Hubback, a young Liverpool draughtsman who rose to chief government architect of British Malaya and gave the city's train terminus a fantasy of minarets and horseshoe arches. You'll hear how construction ran from 1910 to 1917, how Hubback left for the First World War before the building was finished, and how it anchored the city's rail traffic for decades after. Look up at the arches above you as you take in what he built.
