Kamunting Station used to be the last stop on the new Butterworth to Kamunting Komuter line, but this service has now been extended and now these commuter trains travel on a couple of stops further south to Taiping and Padang Rengas, but now all but a few trains terminates in Bukit Mertajam rather than Butterworth..
There are now many services a day on the Padang Rengas to Bukit Mertajam route.

Bagan Serai, Parit Buntar, Nibong Tebal, Simpang Ampat and Bukit Mertajam (with a few trains a day continuing on to Bukit Tengah and Butterworth) - to the north.

If you want to travel further north to places like Alor Setar and Arau (for the ferries to Langkawi island), Sungai Petani or up to the Thailand border, you can either choose to take an ETS train from Parit Buntar, or a much cheaper option is to take one Komuter Train to Bukit Mertajam and change there for another Komuter which goes all the way to the Thai border.
