The new Electric Train Service (ETS) started operating from September 2015 on the route between KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur and Butterworth in the state of Penang.
These ETS Gold and Platinum Services are limited stop trains and are now the quickest way to travel from KL to Penang Island (Pulau Pinang), with the historic city of Georgetown located just a short ferry ride away from Butterworth Railway Station (Penang Sentral).

You can pre-book your ETS tickets from any mainline train station within Peninsular Malaysia.
Tickets usually go on sale 30 to 60 days in advance, but booking periods can vary quite considerably, depending on when KTM release the tickets for sale and when they are going to make the next timetable change.
It is often easier to book your ETS tickets online, as this saves you a trip to a train station.
You can book direct from Malaysian Railways (KTMB) website.
You can also book tickets using online agents (fees apply).
