Arrive Early
Arrive at the station at least 30 minutes before departure.

Luggage

Our trains offer features tailored for disabled passengers, like wider doors, wheelchair areas, and accessible toilets. Surau facilities are also onboard ETS and DMU trains.

Entertainment
You can carry a book, download movies or music, or keep a travel journal. On certain ETS Business Class trains, you can enjoy onboard entertainment, and some trains are equipped with power sockets.

Go for Window Seats
Opt for window seats whenever possible for stunning views of landscapes, especially on routes like Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh or the Jungle Railway from Gemas to Tumpat. Enjoy the spectacular vistas of dense rainforests and rural landscapes.

Connectivity
Plan your onward travel from the train station. Main stations like KL Sentral are well-connected with local transport options such as buses, taxis, and ride-sharing services. 

Station Staff
Don’t hesitate to ask the station staff for assistance. They can help with directions, ticket issues, and other inquiries.
