KTMB to suspend interstate, intercity train services from Wednesday (March 25)
Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) will be suspending its interstate and intercity train services beginning Wednesday (March 25), and not on Tuesday (March 24) as stated earlier.
According to a statement issued on Monday (March 24), the suspension of the services is until the end of the movement control order (MCO) and the effective date was deferred to Wednesday as many commuters have bought the tickets for tomorrow's train services.
Earlier, its chief executive officer Datuk Kamarulzaman Zainal said with the suspension of the services, only two services - Electric Train Services (ETS) and KTM Intercity - would operate daily, compared to eight in the normal situation.
He said KTM Komuter operation would be reduced to 49 services a day for the Klang Valley and north sector while services of several other trains would be continued to serve certain needs.
"This includes the transporting of medical and food supplies as well as the movement of staff of various critical services involved in the enforcement of the MCO," he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Kamarulzaman said Skypark Link train services between Kuala Lumpur Sentral Station and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang would be reduced to four services daily, against eight before.
However, he said KTMB would fully suspend Ekspres Rakyat Timuran, Ekspres Selatan and Shuttle Tebrau services until the MCO enforcement ended.
"Passengers can make amendments or cancel their tickets via the website www.ktmb.com.my, ” he said.
Meanwhile, Express Rail Link (ERL) in a separate statement, said it would limit its services, effective Tuesday (March 24) until further notice.
ERL said the KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) Ekspres and KLIA Transit will run as a combined service at 30-minute intervals from 6am to 10am, and 5pm to 10pm daily.
"Please note that there will be no train services at other times,” the statement said.
Also, the journey time between KL Sentral and KLIA will take 35 minutes, while all departures at the KL Sentral Station will be from KLIA Ekspres Departure platform. - Bernama

KTM Komuter to use new schedule starting Nov 16
The KTM Komuter service will operate using a new time schedule effective Nov 16 following the Klang Valley Double Track (KVDT) Phase 1 and Phase 2 upgrading project.
Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB), in a statement today, said the new schedule would involve 20 commuter train services for the Batu Caves-Pulau Sebang route and 14 Tanjung Malim-Port Klang-Tanjung Malim commuter train services.
"Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 are to upgrade the 25 years old railway tracks and carry out maintenance works and improve the electrical and communications system at the stations involved.
"The rehabilitation works of the railway tracks linking the Klang Valley sector are also being done to reduce delays and avoid cancellation of services," it said.
The KVDT1 project involving the Rawang-Salak Selatan and Simpang Batu-Sentul sectors is expected to be completed in July next year.
The KVDT2 project which involves the rehabilitation of railway tracks stretching from Salak Selatan to Seremban, and from Kuala Lumpur Sentral to Port Klang is scheduled for completion in September 2026.
Meanwhile, KTMB said following the new schedule, the commuter trains services for the Batu Caves-Pulau Sebang route would start and end at the Kajang Station.
For the Tanjung Malim-Port Klang-Tanjung Malim route which will start and end at the Sungai Buloh Station, the commuter service will operate using a single track between Rawang and Kepong.

Electric Train Service provides smooth ride from Kuala Lumpur to Perlis
Electric Train Service provides smooth ride from Kuala Lumpur to Perlis
Commuter Vincent Khor feels the interior of the electric train operated by Malayan Railways is comfortable and cosy. There are even power sockets under the seats.
I was very excited about taking Malaysia’s Electric Train Service (ETS) from Kuala Lumpur (KL) to Arau, Perlis, for the very first time.
It was probably the best decision I made on this trip – to travel by electric train instead of car or plane during the Labour Day weekend in April/May, to participate in the Perlis Marathon.
I bought my Malayan Railways ETS train ticket online.
When I fly, I prefer an aisle seat in the centre of the plane. I decided to make the same seat selection for the train ride. From the online ticketing system, I couldn’t tell if the seat I had chosen was facing the direction the train would be moving or the other way around. And I also couldn’t tell if the cafeteria was in the same coach.
What I was looking forward to was a nice, cosy seat with peace, quiet and privacy so that I could get some sleep. I needed some rest ahead of the marathon, which was held exactly one minute past midnight on the day I arrived.
While waiting for the train, scheduled to depart KL Sentral Station at 7.05am, I bumped into so many runners, some of whom I knew. They were also planning to take the same train and take part in the same marathon.
As I was about to board, I saw Kin K Yum (the marathoner, photographer and newspaper columnist) pushing his foldable bike and walking towards the train platform. I chatted with him for a while. He told me he was waiting for another friend Chan Wai Yee, who I met later, who also brought along a foldable bike. That was such an awesome idea – travelling with foldable bike for leisure cycling after the run in Perlis!
We found out that we were in different coaches so off we went to our separate seats.
TRAIN TO PERLIS
As I entered Coach C, I passed through a nice-looking cafeteria.
My seat was in a four-seat layout, with two seats facing another two, and a blue table in the middle. Throughout the journey, I was not be able to stretch my legs comfortably. Or if I took a nap, strangers sitting across me would be able to watch me all the time.
I was worried I would snore, or saliva would drool from my open mouth, in front of strangers. What if a fellow passenger decided to take a video of me snoring and upload it onto YouTube or Facebook? That made me wonder how I could sleep throughout the five-hour ride.
Five minutes after the train departed, Kin (or "KK" as his friends call him) came over to ask if I wanted to join him and the other runners in their coach. I thought all the seats were sold out! KK then told me that he bought an extra seat, which he was offering to me. My prayers were answered! I would have some peace and a restful journey.
FROM KL TO IPOH
The journey would have 14 stops before its scheduled arrival in Arau at 12.13pm. Pretty fast and efficient.
I found out that the train was moving at speeds averaging around 120kmh, reaching 150kmh at times. However, inside the train, one didn’t feel the speed at all as it ran very smoothly. It was a great way to travel, and we beat the traffic jams along the North-South Expressway!
From cityscapes, the views morphed into smaller towns with lush green vegetation before arriving at the old and beautiful Ipoh train station.
FROM IPOH TO ARAU
The journey from Ipoh saw an even more noticeable change in the landscape. I could spot more oil palm plantations, more forests, and finally padi fields, especially in Kedah. I got excited when the train passed the freshwater lake at Bukit Merah near Taiping. It was the lake I swam in when I took part in the 113 Triathlon last year.
We got off the train at Arau station. We then took the bus to Kangar, where the marathon would be held.
Before we arrived, I suggested to KK and Wai Yee to assemble their foldable bikes in the spacious air-conditioned train.
To our surprise, the train attendant did not object to them assembling their bikes in the train. In fact, he was courteous and friendly.
I was so impressed by the whole train experience – it was unforgettable, awesome and pleasant.

铁道公司擬推行快线服务
停站30秒‧舒缓人潮流量‧铁道公司擬推行快线服务
拉惹龙吉（站者左）与市民们一起乘坐火车，体验新火车的新颖设备之外，也展现出其亲民的一面；站者右为阿米努汀。（图：星洲日报）
（吉隆坡12日讯）马来亚铁道公司总裁阿米努汀指出，为了紓缓乘搭电动火车的人潮流量，铁道公司考虑推行“电动火车快线”（Komuter Express）服务，由於“电动火车快线”的停站时间会缩短至30秒，因此，在发生班次延误或人潮太多的情况时，將能够有效紓缓人潮。
不过，他说，此计划仍需进一步研究才能够落实。
邀德国专家改进现有系统
另一方面，他也对电动火车发生故障一事指出，该公司目前正进行检测，同时也邀请来自德国的专家进行研究，以鑑定发生故障的肇因，並改进现有的系统，以解决问题。
他说，一旦电动火车发生故障时，当局也会安排辅警在车站维持秩序，协助疏散人潮。
龙吉乘搭新电动火车
他也指出，马来亚铁道公司將推出优惠活动以吸引更多乘客乘搭电动火车，包括学生、残障人士及乐龄人士都能够享有优惠。
阿米努汀今日陪同联邦直辖区部长拿督拉惹龙吉从班底达南站乘搭新电动火车到国家银行站后，在新闻发佈会上这么表示。在场者包括吉隆坡市政局副总监拿督阿敏。
原本3车厢增至6节
新电动火车舒適
另一方面，联邦直辖区部长拿督拉惹龙吉在亲身体验新电动火车的设备后说，新电动火车从原本的3节车厢增加至6节，每辆设有两节的女性专用车厢，共有38辆火车將於今年7月推出，目前则有11辆新火车投入服务。
“新火车车厢环境舒適，並没有出现拥挤的情况，乘客都认为新火车服务很好。”
他对於乘客希望增加火车班次的建议回应说，铁道公司將於4月杪將火车班次从每30分钟一趟提昇为每15分钟一趟，希望藉此舒缓人潮。
他说，提昇公共交通系统服务是政府对人民的承诺。

搭电动火车苦等1小时‧公眾质疑铁道公司效率
公眾投诉在谷中城电动火车站苦等一个小时才搭到火车回沙登，与铁道公司之前所说的候车时间有很大的出入。铁道公司解释说，火车延误是因为出现故障所致。（图：星洲日报）
马来亚铁道公司宣佈於3月起增加电动火车投入服务，以缩短搭客的候车时间，但仍有公眾投诉指在繁忙时段於谷中城火车站痴痴等候1小时才登上电动火车，这与铁道公司之前表示將等候火车的时间从30分钟缩短至10分钟有很大的出入。
读者投诉说，他於本月21日下午2时左右，在谷中城搭电动火车到沙登，但却等了整整1小时，才搭到火车。他对铁道公司要缩短候车时间的效率感到质疑。
铁道公司：火车故障耽误
他说，之前铁道公司曾表示会在繁忙时间增加火车班次，但结果还是等足1小时才搭到火车。
《大都会》也致电向马来亚铁道公司企业通讯部高级经理法再因查询，他说，电动火车的確在日前发生故障而导致耽误火车的行驶时间。
他说：“事件发生后，我们已经派出专人为每一辆电动火车再次作出检查，希望减少类似事件的发生。”
“我们將在繁忙时间即早上6时至9时及傍晚4时30分至7时30分增加电动火车班次。预计搭客候车时间將少过30分钟。”
