KTM ETS Train Services

KTM ETS Electric Train Services are the latest trains on KTM’s network, running at a maximum speed of 160km/h (140km/h operational speed) on electrified double track sectors between Gemas and Padang Besar.

KTM ETS trains offer long-haul train services stopping at major stations in the KTM Komuter network, and serves the smaller towns in between bigger cities. Popular ETS train destinations include KL Sentral for Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Butterworth for Penang Island, Alor Setar, Arau for Pulau Langkawi and Padang Besar to access Hat Yai and other parts of Thailand.

As KTM Berhad has restricted Facebook access to RailTravel Station, RailTravel Station is unable to ask first-hand information when I need clarification from KTM Berhad regarding their services. As such, in reciprocity, RailTravel Station will only provide information that is provided by KTM Berhad.

KTM ETS Train Service Types

ETS train services are classified as follows:

ETS Platinum
- ETS Business Class
- ETS Standard Class
ETS Gold
ETS Silver

The ETS classes are classified by speed and number of stops rather than seating classes. All trains have similar seats and services on board including TV, power sockets, washrooms and a bistro or cafe area for food and beverages to purchase.

If you are commuting between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, you should seriously consider taking the bus instead, unless you wish to experience the train journey as the destination itself.
