Electric Train Services Seremban - KL - Ipoh

I once wrote the article of high speed electric train first in 1997. But fortunately (or unfortunately), I've got the opportunity to ride the train.

The ETS services currently using Seremban - KL Sentral - Ipoh route. The promotional fair for KL Sentral - Ipoh is RM30. Will be raised to after March 2011. The price is higher than KTMB shuttle service (RM22 and RM12 for economy seat)

The ride is comfortable. The track was very smooth after you leave Rawang. At Perak area than the train start to speed up to the maximum 146km/h.

There is also a steward like Air Asia which serve you snacks and drinks.

Overall the ride is smooth and fast. From KL to Ipoh is less than 2 hours. Malaysian will be waiting when the services is extended nationwide.
