There are 2 railway stations in Kota Bharu. The Wakaf Bharu station and the Sungai Golok station. I would personally recommend that you use the Wakaf Bharu Station. Express trains depart daily from various destination throughout Kelantan and major towns in the Peninsular, right up to Singapore.
Getting there by Road
If you're the type who likes adventures and explorations, you can choose to drive yourself to Kelantan. There are several routes you can take to get to Kelantan Darul Naim if you're coming from Kuala Lumpur.
First, you can choose to drive eastward along the Karak Highway toKuantan in the state of Pahang, passing through the Temerloh and Maranexits. This will take about 3 hours. Then from Kuantan, head north along the coast passing through picturesque villages and scenic palm-fringed beaches overlooking the azure waters of the South China Sea. You will be passing through places likeKemaman, Kerteh, Dungun, Marang and Kuala Terengganu before you get to Kota Bharu. This will take you roughly 4 hours 30 minutes.
Alternatively, you could take the inland route to Kota Bharu whereby you exit the Karak Highway at Bentong and proceed northwards to Raub, Gua Musang and Kuala Krai before reaching Kota Bharu. Another option would be that you exit the Karak Highway at Temerloh and head towards Jerantut, Benta, Gua Musang and Kuala Krai before finally reaching Kota Bharu.
