KTM Train from Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru
Schedule (Jadual) and Ticket Prices
Information on how to travel by train from Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru (KL Sentral to JB Sentral) in Malaysia.
From May 2016 and the introduction of a new KTMB Train Timetable, to travel from KL Sentral to JB Sentral by train, you will now have to take an ETS Train from KL to Gemas, then connect with a Shuttle Train from Gemas to JB.
This is due to the fact that all long distance diesel Intercity Trains have been cancelled from this date and the only long distance services running on the new dual tracks north of Gemas are the new high-speed Electric Train Services (ETS Express).
