Well, it's the Jungle Railway, so any trains running on it are pretty much by definition Jungle Trains... but no, I haven't taken a daytime train.

But anyway, do you if JB station has been relocated into the new complex? If not, do you know when the JB station is scheduled to be relocated? I have ben trying to find a bus connection between SIN and Gemas or JB and Gemas too.
No, it's not open yet. As for when it's finally going to open, your guess is as good as mine -- while the structure looks fairly close to complete, it's already years delayed, and the present political turmoil certainly isn't going to speed up things one bit.
I doubt there are direct buses from Singapore to Gemas, but I'm pretty sure you can find some in JB. As intracity bus companies in Malaysia are not at all net-savvy, the easiest thing is probably just to show up at JB's Larkin terminal (easily reached by direct bus from Singapore) and ask around.
