Kuala Lumpur to Butterworth Destination Reviews

TB
The service, the process and also the driving comfort were excellent. Unfortunately, there is one point deduction: the windows are dirty. Sounds banal at first, but I wanted to see something of the landscape on the road and make one or the other photo for memory. Of course, this was not possible. However, if you don't care about the view, the train ride is perfect for you. Thumbs up

Train was comfortable enough...however, the aircon was on so high...we needed to use clothing as blankets. Also the space to store luggage was too limited. One last thing, the food carriage was woefully understocked. Over all though, everyone was very friendly and helpful.

I had a great train ride. I would do it again. As a tourist from Australia, I was unsure where the train ride started from not realising there was a atation called a KL. But than again, maybe I was just a silly tourist. Keep up the great work!

These speeds of travel together with relatively short stops between stations can greatly shorten the duration of your trip.

Best-Rated Companies for this Route

Unlike buses or taxis which have numerous companies offering their services, train service is usually offered by just one major company in each country. As railway service requires a large amount of infrastructure, most railway companies are government-owned and are a part of the national transport system.

One of the best advantages of travelling by train is that railway stations are often conveniently located within or very near major cities and urban areas. Immediately on arrival to their destination, travellers find themselves in close proximity to important facilities like hotels, supermarkets, and hospitals.

If you travel with a lot of bags and luggage, trains are your best option. Luggage weight limits on trains are rather flexible and allow you to carry multiple bags with you.

Special or luxury trains feature sufficient legroom which allows you to stretch your legs and relax. In comfort and space these train seats can be compared to business class airplane seats.

Similar to buses, trains can provide a variety of amenities to make your travel more comfortable and enjoyable. Modern trains have WIFI service, a snack counter and a drinking bar. Onboard toilets can be a life saver for travellers with queasy stomachs.

Lastly, unlike buses and other overland means of transport, trains are very rarely involved in accidents.
