ETS Introduces New Train Schedule Inline With KDVT Phase 1 Completion
Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) has announced a new schedule for its Electric Train Service (ETS), starting from Aug 1. The revised schedule includes:
- KL Sentral-Ipoh-KL Sentral and KL Sentral-Butterworth-KL Sentral lines now sees ten trips daily
- KL Sentral-Padang Besar-KL Sentral route sees eight runs daily
- Gemas-Butterworth-Gemas and Gemas-Padang Besar-Gemas lines each see two trips daily
The rescheduling coincides with the completion of the Klang Valley Double Track (KDVT) Phase 1 improvement project on the Rawang-KL Sentral route. The change is also intended to improve connectivity with other train services at key stations, including Komuter Utara, Ekspres Selatan, and Ekspres Rakyat Timuran.

KTMB will also launch six ETS Ekspres services out of the current 32 services for the KL Sentral-Ipoh-KL Sentral, KL Sentral-Butterworth-KL Sentral, and KL Sentral-Padang Besar-KL Sentral routes.
These express trains will make fewer stops, cutting travel time to two hours for the KL Sentral-Ipoh route, three hours and 30 minutes for the KL Sentral-Butterworth route, and four hours and 50 minutes for the KL Sentral-Padang Besar route.
Tickets for ETS and KTM Intercity services from Aug to Nov 2024 will be available for purchase starting at 12 PM tomorrow.
