Arau Railway Station

Royal Arau Railway Station (30 July, 2016)


Arau Railway Station (GPS: 6.431887, 100.269183) is one of the two main railway stations in Perlis. Located in the royal town of Arau, it is the last stop for the train before reaching Padang Besar on the Malaysia-Thai border. The station south of Arau is the Kodiang Railway Station in Kedah. The train does not go to Kangar, which does not have a station, so people in Kangar has to take the train in Arau.

The Arau Railway station is located behind the State Mosque which is along the main road, the Perlis State Route R3. Since 2013, it has undergone a major facelift in preparation for the launch of the KTM Electric Train Service, which was operational from 11 July, 2015. This is the penultimate station of the ETS between the Alor Setar Railway Station and the Padang Besar Railway Station, which is the northern terminus. Trains from KL Sentral in the south and Padang Besar in the north.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
