My aunt was in KL over the weekend to attend the kenduri at my Mum's place. She came here this time by train (ETS for Electric Train Service) and was impressed with how quick the journey was. So, on the return leg, my Mum decided to follow along.
So, after lunch at Restoran Rebung and a quick stop at my apartment - the first time my aunt had been there - I sent them off at KL Sentral. She took the 1611 train and at arounf 8.30 pm, I received a call from Mum that she had already arrived at Sungai Petani. That was only after 4 hours.
I was impressed. The train was understandably packed and she had to book the ticket a day before the planned journey as they tended to be sold out. I could see more and more train be added to this service in the future. It certainly was time-saving and hopefully if they could stay punctual would revolutionise the journey up and down the Peninsular.
But it would have been greater if similar services could be extended to both the East Coast and Singapore. How great would that be? ....
