Business class passengers don't have to board with everyone downstairs. There is a lift inside the lounge that leads directly to the platform and the lounge staff will call everyone for boarding 10mins before departure. Sadly there are no vegetarian options with the business class ticket, its usually a spicy chicken/fish meal.

Twenty years ago I rode on the train to butterworth it was an 11 hour overnight journey once a day. With sleeper cars hauled be a diesel locomotive. However that train derailed south of Ipoh at 1am in the morning. Hanging around in a dengue fever filled rainforest wasn't a good idea as I ended up with bloody dengue as well!

Ipoh station is also very beautiful, built by the British. I used to regularly take the sleeper trains that were very convenient. But they no longer run. When I used The ferry to Penang from Butterworth, the pay machine only took old "Shilling" coins that you exchanged from a cashier. You only paid in 1 direction. Brought back many memories. The " jungle" is just palm oil plantations, but still beautiful.

KL is one of my favourite cities in that part of the world. Things are cheap, public transport (especially the metro) is really good. It's a shame they cancelled the high speed line from KL to Singapore though.

[@sempoi7399]

Not canceled. It was only postponed because the country did not want to bear billions of dollars in debt. What's the point of having HSR but the debt is huge. Malaysia is a wise country when it has reopened to implement HSR projects with private financing. This project only has a few technical things left to continue. Please be patient. Malaysia will have HSR without debt!

[@terrycst1]

HSR not cancel, it will be revived by private sector companies involve rather than government subsidy project.

The trains on the Malaysian city center, which includes the subway and rail transits are using standard gauge, though.

[@alifhashim3752]

To put some clarity ... the KTM long distance trains run on meter gauges. However all the other train services in Malaysia run on standard gauges. All these networks are electrified. Only KTM has it electrified via top electric cabling, while the other train networks have underground electrified cables.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Not true because the jungle sleeper train is also metre gauge

[@KaterChris]

I've only managed to ride on KTM's Komuter service from KL to Batu Caves a couple of years ago, on the CSR Zhuzhou Class 92 trains. A weird thing I noted is, that almost all of them had multiple shattered laminated windows per car, on both my trips to KL in '17 and `18.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Very strange!

[@gan247]

If I remember correctly it was caused by vandals (mainly children who weren’t taught the better) along the route. Only the laminated outer glass was shattered and it caused no danger to the passengers on board. As it takes time to replace it and they didn’t want to take it out of service just for that they decided to only fix it during scheduled major maintenance.

Vandals. There was a time that delinquent youth would throw rocks at the train for fun. Fortunately, it's a thing of the past .

[@luke211286]

I think ~140 kph is the perfect balance between time and pleasure. It's the ideal speed range for leisure travellers and those who specifically take the train to enjoy the views. "Bullet trains" running double the speed are fun to ride in, but everything you see outside is sort of like a blur. I wish we had that kind of trains here just slightly northeast of Malaysia. With the exception of East Timor, we probably are the country in SE Asia with the lowest density of railways (sadly)

[@NonstopEurotrip]

That does depend on the distance you've gotta cover I guess!

I have been riding ETS for a very long time. At least once a month for roundtrip KL-Butterworth with Business Class The service used to be wayyyy better than now. They slowly declined by reducing the food quality, amenities for business class, and other aspects. They also used to give earphones for those entertainment system. Things keep changing with Business Class. Also wish Business Class gets a dedicated restroom since the common one can get nasty really quick. Can't complain much since my guess this is how they actually actually maintain the ticket price to be about the same for years. Also wish Business Class would get a dedicated restroom since the common ones can get nasty really quick. I mean the ticket is double of the economy

@@siddd88 Well, the SRT trains run on diesel. In Malaysia, diesel train fare may be low too. But there is hardly any diesel passenger train service around, so it is hard to compare. In any case, since it is going to be extinct, there is no point comparing with it. So, we will look at only electric train fare. And it is 2 times the bus fare. Even at 2 times, it is highly subsidized. By looking at how the Malaysian system works, you can expect the train fare to be higher for foreigners one day, that is, foreigners have to pay the un-subsidized fare. How much is it? I don't know. May be 50% more than 2 times? That is, 3 times.

The name of the operator is Keretapi Tanah Melayu, which translates to Malayan Railway, not Malaysian Railway. It is the only public service provider in Malaysia that still uses the country’s former name, and I have no idea why 😃 Nice review, though as a Malaysian, I prefer the bus over ETS. One of my highest dislikes about the service is the constantly chattering PA system making one announcement or the other, almost non-stop. Never a moment of peace.😢

Hi friends, don't forget to try the first fast train in Southeast Asia in Indonesia with the Jakarta Bandung route which was just inaugurated yesterday by President Jokowi. This train travels at a speed of 350km/hour which makes it the fastest train in the southern hemisphere.

Can you provide a link to where I can get tickets please?

You can get cheaper price business class during non peak hour, especially first early morning and final late night train.

Petronas Twin Towers for us Malaysians is called 'Persiaran KLCC' which is the actual name given since it is connected to the KLCC Mall.
