It was a good trip but there could be more luggage space Geoffrey  

Excellent 25 July 2026

A very comfortable and well-organised journey. Easy to book via Baolau too. David  

Good 22 July 2026

Train.was clean and comfortable including toilets. To note air-conditioning was a little cool. The only negative was that the buffet car had a limited range of food options (several hot meals in plastic boxes) and could only paid for by cash. (Malaysia use a payment App but overseas tourists can not set-up). Michael

Easy process för boarding. Staff helpful at KL Sentral to guide me as a single traveller to correct boarding area. Short wait before boarding, quite hot but not a big problem imo.

Good 16 June 2026

Everything was fine, I just thought the food in the buffet car was poor, a very poor selection of snacks, I went just one hour into the journey and almost everything on the menu they didn’t have, I’m sure there was room on the train for a few extra boxes of potatoe chips and peanuts ! Philip

It was my first time traveling to Penang via the KTM and it was such a great experience. Taking the train also made Penang a lot more accessible because it's a fuss-free way to travel, with predictable steps and travel time. Heng

ETS trains are very good, punctual and well staffed. For a long-distance train the toilet facilities need particularattention for the comfort and cleanliness the passengers. One other two small maintenance cleans would have made it a five star. Gary
