Can a traveller heading from Kuala Lumpur to Perak by ETS combine and shorten the Zuhr and Asr prayers at the prayer room of the ETS station mall before the train departs?
Short answer
The fatwa holds that Zuhr and Asr may be prayed shortened and combined at the mall prayer room.

Summary
The fatwa holds that Zuhr and Asr may be prayed shortened and combined at the mall prayer room. A journey is considered to begin once a person passes beyond the area where he resides, and the questioner has already done so. The distance also exceeds two marhalah, roughly 82 kilometres, which is one of the conditions for shortening prayers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, berdasarkan penjelasan di atas, kami berpandangan bahawa boleh untuk melakukan solat zohor dan asar secara qasar dan jamak di surau mall yang disebutkan kerana saudara telah melepasi kawasan atau daerah permukiman.
