Station Upgraded

The Ipoh Railway Station has been upgraded since few years back to cater for the launching of twin track railway service. Entering platform was not restricted like previously did. So I proceed into it as my first return since my last visit many years ago. The platform does change a lot although the main building remains the same. Pillars are standing in front of the old building to support the giant roof. Anyway, I find the modern design roof does not match the original station building & those pillars have spoilt the old time view of the platform. Somehow the renovation has made it cleaner & tidier. There used to be an underpass to reach the opposite platform but it has been replaced by overhead bridges.

  2. As we can see from the picture, the pillars appear not in harmony with the existing building (i find it too close to the old building). It is blocking the complete view on the old style architecture bcos i prefer to view the beauty of old design in one piece but the pillars are like chopping it into pieces. I also find the giant roof is too high & too huge that has surpassed the existing main building. It is worst when seen from front (like the picture shown in another blog "My Photo Collection" dated 20-Nov-08), the top of those pillars appear like punching through the existing station roof.
