The railway line is to help connect the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) station in Subang Jaya, Selangor, to the Skypark Terminal at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport.

Business Times understands that Subang Skypark will also link the line to the Sungai Buloh-Kajang Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system, where it will integrate with the MRT and KTMB stations in Sungai Buloh.

"This is a Private Financing Initiative where the project will be funded by Subang Skypark. The project involving 23km may cost between RM1 billion and RM1.5 billion," the source said.

Under the first phase of development, the firm will construct a new railway line using the existing alignment from the KTMB station right up to Sri Subang near the roundabout leading to the airport.

Petronas funded the existing alignment for KTMB to transport petrol from the station to the airport. The train service was halted a few years ago.

The source added that Subang Skypark will then extend the railway line by about 8km from Sri Subang to Skypark Terminal.

"The government wants train services between KL Sentral in Brickfields right up to Skypark Terminal to start in two years," the source said.

For phase two, the company will extend the railway line by about 15km from Skypark Terminal to Sungai Buloh.

y so expensive? becoz of the land, is it?

23 km railway line at RM 1.5 billion is actually not expensive at all.

True. Plus the land.

That is good news. I'm hoping by the time the rail line completed, Subang skypark will be booming

However, at that cost, I wonder what kind of rail.

15 km = Sungai Buloh KTM/MRT to Subang Airport

8 km = using old disused KTM route alignment from Subang airport to KTM Subang Jaya station.

There is railway from Subang Airport to KTM Subang Jaya station already?

1.5bil is including the trains or just construction fee?

Not sure.

Is there any updates about the trains from Japan?

build la one to lcct .

Isnt this going to dilute the purchase of trains? i mean, if we double the trains and at the same time increase the number of lines and at the same time retire some trains,

arent we gonna be stuck with the sme problem agai

Wait

Who using subang airport now?

I thought firefly cease operation soon

LCCT might be served by ERL.

what the point of building 1?
since the LCCT will move to KLIA2 next year...

Old cargo line...

what the point of building 1?
since the LCCT will move to KLIA2 next year...

So they won't use the second hand Tokyo MRT train for Komuter. I thought they are going to use it for Komuter, as said by Ong Tee Keat when he was still the Minister of Transport.

i don't remember seeing any

Firefly will only cease jet operation from KLIA.

Firefly will continue to exist as turboprop operator from Subang.

IC, my mistake than...
anyway I thought there already a plan of building ERL connecting KLIA and KLIA2 and KL sentral...

The line was disused for several years already. It was closed in 1990's.

where is it now? it has to pass through federal highway right, to get from subang jaya to the airport.

Not sure about it now.

However, the line is of course, turn right to the airport from Subang Jaya station.
