The train to Kuala Lumpur felt modern, in line with the city I was headed to. The journey took less than three hours and cost £5.50. Inside, it reminded me of the Thameslink that runs through London. The seats were non-reclinable, but clean, the carriage was air conditioned and there were monitors advising of the next stop, in English.“You’re certainly getting to see the real Malaysia,” said a businessman, called Syed, when I told him of my journey.
