. KTMB ETS Chief Operating Officer Azizullah Kinayatullah who welcomed us onboard said that rail travel is one of the safest modes of transportation. “ETS offers safety features such as closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras for passenger safety and the train is programmed to slow down to a stop when it detects zero activity from the driver. This ensures no untoward accidents should anything happen to the driver.” Road warriors would appreciate the convenience of having a WiFi connection* while tapping away industriously on their laptops. The ride was so smooth and relatively bump-free that I could read my book without feeling any motion-sickness. There are overhead luggage compartments for the convenience of passengers and window shades for those who dislike having the sun shining directly onto them. It can get rather chilly in the coaches with the powerful air-conditioning, so bring a sweater or shawl along if you are afraid of the cold. Friendly and helpful stewards and stewardesses dressed in cheerful yellow tees are on hand should you require assistance
I couldn’t help but feel how similar this was to taking a flight minus the bumpy air pockets and being asked to switch off your hand phone and electronic devices. 2 hours and 15 minutes later, our train pulled up at the quaint Ipoh railway station and we disembarked feeling #######ed and stress-free. If we had driven from Kuala Lumpur, we would have been frazzled by the traffic jams, tolls and potentially reckless drivers on the road. ETS departs from Kuala Lumpur Railway station to Ipoh 8 times a day (from 6.02am), and from Seremban 2 times a day (from 9.59am). The train departs from Ipoh from 4am. Tickets are priced at a promotional rate of RM30 one way.
