Shah Alam to Padang Besar on ETS

ETS : KL Sentral to Padang Besar

[Haji Mazlan joined me in Butterworth Station]

Thursday 27th October 2016

Left the house at 7:30 am headed to Shah Alam Komuter Station; to take the Commuter from Shah Alam to KL Sentral Station. Arrived into KL Sentral by 8:20 am, had KFC for lunch and waited to board the Eeslectric Train Serevice (ETS) from KL Sentral to Padang Besar in Perlis. The train is scheduled to depart at 9:30 am and scheduled to arrive into Padang Besar Station in Perlis at 3:30 pm.

The ETS departed right on time and we chugged along the track on the modern electric train travelling on the average of 135 km per hour. Had to make an unscheduled stop in Kuang Station, because one of the track ahead is closed for repair. We had to wait for our turn to cross the track. After stopping for approximately an hour, we continued our journey. Haji Mazlan is supposed to join me in Butterworth Station; which is scheduled to arrived at 1:30 pm, however due to the delay, we only arrived into Butterworth Station at 2:45 pm.

Haji Mazlan joined me in Butterworth Station and we continued the train ride together to Padang Besar, Perlis. The train did some catching up by speeding and we arrived into Padang Besar Station at 4:20 pm : 50 minutes later than scheduled.
