Brand New! - A ride on the Skip.Stop.Xpress! | Rapid KL Kelana Jaya Line

Rapid KL recently introduced the Skip.Stop.Xpress - a week-day, peak hour service that skips a few stations along its route. This is a change from the regular services that stop at all stations.
The Skip.Stop.Xpress train departs its origin station of Gombak at 8:00AM on Mondays through Fridays and halts only at Wangsa Maju, Setiawangsa and Ampang Park stations, skipping the stations in between.
From Ampang Park, it continues as a regular service, stopping at all stations till its destination - Putra Heights.
This video captures the journey of the Skip.Stop.Xpress from Gombak to KLCC station. A different kind of an experience to see stations being skipped by an LRT train.

This is a mid-life refurbished unit, so yeahh, good acceleration. The systems (i.e auxiliary systems, inverters, converters and motors) were also undergo major overhaul to make it last longer..

Nice View 🤗

8:50 when it skipped that station, saw all those people standing there, so guessing that on those overhead message displays it did say that this train was actually going to not stop at this station so all of those people there didnt start to wonder why it didnt stop and just keep going....LOL

[@zarifhaikal9122]

It means that the express train will run as a normal train after arrived at Ampang Park station?

[@trendyhyper5946]

Yes

[@WorldRailwaysinAction]

Yes, that is correct.

[@ryn5055]

How to know if it's the skip stop Xpress train?

[@WorldRailwaysinAction]

They make announcements on the stations, informing about the train, its stops, etc.

[@muhamadridhwanjahidin5260]

Its not really express, long stop at stations, waiting for the earlier service to entering station..

[@TreiHutchinson]

.. I hate taking the old short train ..

Mix fleets with 2 and 4 cars trains can help to reduce the headway between trains in operation.

[@syahrinreza920]

There's no really high demand for now, 2 car is already sufficient. And it's only 1 service then back to normal..I've boarded this service 4 times and still has lots of space inside..
