Baris 86:
Stesen keretapi Kuala Lumpur pada mulanya terdiri dripada satu terminal utama di bahagian hadapan banggunan dan tiga platform keretapi melayan empat landasan di bahagian belakang .
The main structure, which contains a main hall, ticket counters and offices, is primarily designed in a "Raj" styling, mixture of Western and [[Mughal Empire#Mughal influence on the Subcontinent|Mughal]] similar to [[Moorish Revival]] or [[Indo-Saracenic]] architecture, which enjoyed brief popularity in late-19th century and early 20th century [[British Raj|colonial India]], as well as Europe and the. Dominated by [[Horseshoe arch|horseshoe]] and [[Ogee|ogee arch]]es, and large [[chhatri]]s (six originally, with two added later) at the corners of the building accompanying smaller variations at the front, the station is comparable to the [[Sultan Abdul Samad Building]] and surrounding structures constructed around the [[Dataran Merdeka|Merdeka Square]] during the period. In addition to the main station building, a three-storey addition at the north wing was added early in its operation, adopting Westernised vernacular designs with surrounding venrendahs and [[segmental arch]]es of various widths. The facade of the station is completely plastered, as opposed to buildings of similar styles that opt for exposed brickwork, and painted in light colours (usually white or [[Cream (colour)|cream]]) throughout its service.
The platforms are covered by large steel-framed shelters, which were initially shorter during the station's early operation. The roofs were originally glazed, and were partially opened to allow smoke from [[steam locomotive]]s to escape; corrugated roof sheets served as replacements later in the station's life. The sides of the platforms not adjoining the main building are surrounded by walls constructed in the same style as the main building. The platforms and main building are linked to each other via two underground passageways.
The design of the extended platform for the 1986 refurbishment of the station took a more modernist approach, consisting simply of large concrete pillars supporting a [[Latticework|latticed]] roof and a ticket office on concrete slabs at the north end, suspended two stories above ground. White walls and arches that serve as decorations to the extension are more alike that of the [[Dayabumi|Dayabumi complex]] than the original station. The new extension is connected to Dayabumi via an elevated walkway.
