KTM Komuter Klang Valley Sector 2010up from Kuala Lumpur to Batu Caves Train Review

KTM Komuter Klang Valley Sector is the only train which goes direct to Batu Caves from Kuala Lumpur city. During this period of Klang Valley Double Track (KVDT) rehabilitation project works, it is better to catch the train from the old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station as the timetable for some trains make a long stop here due to single-track operations, thus speeding up your journey as compared to boarding from KL Sentral.

Kuala Lumpur Railway Station

If coming from Pasar Seni, there is a KTM concourse after the linkbridge to enter Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, without the need to go to the main station building first.

I arrived in good time to catch the KTM Komuter Klang Valley Sector 2010up departing at 9.27am. This is also the 9.02am train from KL Sentral. The KTM Komuter Klang Valley Sector 2010up makes a long stop at Kuala Lumpur Railway Station for 21 minutes.

Trains to Batu Caves depart from Kuala Lumpur Platform 3 during my journey. However, check the platform on the screens before going down, as the platform assignment may change depending on the progress of the Klang Valley Double Track Electrification (KVDT) rehabilitation project.

I wasn’t in a rush to board the train as I had about 10 more minutes to do so.

Alas, my long stop at Kuala Lumpur was further delayed with an announcement saying that there was an operational problem.

My KTM Komuter Klang Valley Sector 2010up departed from Kuala Lumpur Railway Station at 9.34am – 7 minutes delayed.

My KTM Komuter Klang Valley Sector 2010up arrived at Batu Caves Railway Station at 10.05am – 9 minutes delayed.

This train will u-turn to form the KTM Komuter Klang Valley Sector 2023dn to Bangi, which is in turn delayed too, with the original scheduled departure time at 10.03am.

A unique difference, the station sign at Batu Caves is angled perpendicular from the platform, perhaps changed to better suit tourists’ photos.
