so it seems.
Monday just before noon, I went to the BG railway station to pick up my three ex-classmates arriving from KL Sentral, on their nostalgic train journey. One of them, now an Australian, used to live in Sentul railway quarters because his father was an engineer in the Central Workshop. Another friend took a longer time to come out because he had gout and could not keep pace with the others walking up the high pedestrian crossing and down.
Before I arrived, just before reaching the car park, I noticed for the first time, 2 disabled signs on the other side of the railway lines and what looked like a ramp, probably leading to a road near a new housing project next to Kg. Pisang.
So now that the disabled are already taken care of, there is no need to respond to any of my emails? Even if I had been unreasonable in asking for an additional train stop, was it too much to expect a reply to explain KTMB's stand? Is there any public relations personnel at all?
As I have been harping for so long, the problem lies in the location, location and location of the station in the middle of nowhere. The first thing my Australian friend commented was, "No bus service? No taxis? How far is this place to the town? As we were walking out of the station, I noticed people who came to wait for arrivals were getting out, except one lone Chinese girl looking worried. Can you imagine her family member or friend who was supposed to fetch her did not turn up? What if this happened at night? This scenario will be played over and over again each time the train stops at the new station in Batu Gajah. It is so sad that the management are now so insensitive to the needs of the people.
