Kobah ETS Trains

From February 2017 and the introduction of the new KTMB train schedule, there are now no longer any fast Electric Train Services (ETS) stopping at Kobah Station.

The best option if you want to travel on the ETS services is to firstly take a Komuter to either Sungai Petani in the south or Alor Setar to the north.

All ETS Trains stop at these stations, so you can travel to places like KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh or down to Gemas, where you can change trains and take an Intercity service to JB Sentral in Johor Bahru and Singapore.
