The KTM Padang Rengas Railway Station (Stesen Keretapi Padang Rengas) lies on the KTMB Malaysia North - South Line in the state of Perak and offers regular Komuter Train Services northbound to Bukit Mertajam and Butterworth Penang.
There are also a few ETS long distance services that stop here.
Panang Rengas Train Station is the last stop on the new Komuter Utara Service from Bukit Mertajam (BM) in Penang State.
These regular trains run up and down to BM, where you can change onto the Butterworth to Padang Besar Komuter Services to travel further north all the way to the Malaysia - Thailand border at Padang Besar.
These services used to run to Butterworth Penang, but now most terminate at Bukit Mertajam, so if you want to travel from Padang Rengas to Butterworth by train, you will have to change at BM (apart from just a few services).
