Chapter 18 - TRAIN JOURNEY FROM KL TO PENANG

Chapter 18 - Train Journey from KL to Penang
We took a KTM train from KL Sentral to Butterworth and then a short ferry ride to the island of Penang. We checked in at the Shangri La Golden Sands resort, enjoyed a walk on the white sands of Bateau Ferengi, and watched the sunset.

Welcome to penang

Considering Malaysia's railways are metre gauge, 160kph is very good. Much higher speeds might bring stability issues. My experience of Switzerland's metre guage railways is much more modest speeds but they are negotiating mountainous territory

i like your vlog. You should try riding Whoosh in indonesia, the first high speed train in southeast asia with a speed of 350/KMH. There are still many more trains in indonesia that you can make your youtube video. greetings from indonesia, Keep spirit and keep healty😊

[@Michaels-Meanderings]

I hope to make it to Indonesia soon :)

By next near, ETS will expand its route from existing Thailand border - KL - Gemas towards Singapore border (Johor Bahru Sentral). Unfortunately, LRT shuttle trains project just in begins (Johor bahru sentral - Woodlands Singapore) & it will start operating in 2026. Anyway, welcome to Malaysia. Wishing you having great travel experiences 🙏🏻❤️

Malaysia's train has a max 160km per hour. So semi high speed train.

[@Michaels-Meanderings]

Thanks you for the info :)

Sir, this is not HSR. Cruising speed of 140 km/h on a metre gauge. (max is 160 km/h). Malaysia don't have HSR yet. And you use the Ruby lounge for Business Class passengers while waiting for train. Guess you have not done your homework

[@BungarayaBunga-fk5xy]

We hope KTMB to increase Average Operating Speed of ETS from 84kph to 100kph.
And we also hope KTMB to provide more daily ETS Frequency KL Sentral - Butterworth, KL Sentral - Padang Besar, and KL Sentral - Gemas Station.

[@Michaels-Meanderings]

I will look fiortward to the improved service next time I visit Maylasia

This isnt high speed train take note the gauges are still shared with older diesel mosly cargo locomotives..the proposed high speed train which is mybe viable for malaysia was the once high speed rail btwn kl and singapore..we dont do vanity projects here like indonesia all must be assesed wt proven viability study
