To avoid inconvenience, KTMB urge customers to book their tickets ahead of time and avoid last-minute transactions. Furthermore, KTMB also detailed the itinerary for the additional ETS trip, which departs from Padang Besar at 11 PM and arrives at KL Sentral at 4:36 PM while departures from KL Sentral will be at 5:05 PM, with arrivals at Padang Besar at 10:34 PM.
