I'm in KL now for my one week holiday. Yesterday, I decided to take the KTM train instead of the express bus. I wouldn't say it's better to take the train than the express bus because it is not but it's certainly vastly improved from the last and only train ride that I took from Ipoh to Penang back in 1990. That was 20 years ago!
THAT experience totally turned me off train rides in Malaysia! The train that I took is still powered by diesel and I am so looking forward to the electric train that will tentatively be launched in April. I don't think the travel time will be reduced by too much. My train ride took 2 hours 50 minutes, by the way, but an electric train will surely will smoother and less noisy.
What I do not like about riding on the train is the many stops it has to make. The express bus doesn't stop at all unless a passenger requests the driver to. Even with the electric train, it will still need to stop quite a few times and that just slows down the ride.
Anyway, will write more later!
