KTM to start new Ipoh-Singapore train service

By LISA GOH

KUALA LUMPUR: Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) will start a new line between Singapore and Ipoh from Oct 1, using its double tracking route.

KTMB Strategic Business Unit’s Intercity Services general manager Sarbini Tijan said this route, which runs through Kuala Lumpur, would only operate on weekends initially.

"We will start with the weekends, with a day and a night trip from Singapore to Ipoh, and vice versa.

"So, in total, there will be four trips a day. It should be running daily by next year," he said at a joint press conference by KTMB and the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta).

However, he added that there would be daily service during peak periods such as Hari Raya Puasa.

Sarbini also said the service would start with diesel trains, but "electric trains are on the way".

The fare for Singapore-Ipoh has not yet been confirmed. The fare for KL-Ipoh is RM18 for second class, and RM10 for economy class.

He said this service was an addition to the existing KL-Penang route via Ipoh which runs two trips a night - one northbound, and one southbound.

"But those are only night trains, except for weekends, when we run day trains," he said.
