ETS by KTM - Kuala Lumpur to Butterworth in 4 hours


Apparently everybody's using the ETS today . Big businessmen , backpackers ....and now me .
It costs MYR 59 to get from KL to Butterworth and vice versa , which is not exactly cheap but considering how terribly delayed ( or cancelled ! Gasp ! ) flights out of Penang especially , are these days , this is your best and fastest option currently .

Frankly , I was sceptical on the promised arrival time . I mean , nothing ever goes according to time , right ? 
Not when it comes to the ETS .
They're so punctual , I think the only other service where one has to be so kancheong is the European TGV .

Once I boarded , put my luggage up , and sat down , the doors were closing already ! 
Fuyoooh , you don't play play , with this one or you will have to buy another ticket I tell you !

The new KTM Butterworth train station


Well , it took some time but now it is finally completed.
Outwardly, it looks very comfortable and promising but let's go in and take a look shall we ?
Walking in from the very spacious carpark where the patches of grass have yet to take root , shows you just how new the station is.
