Many many moons ago, I took the direct train from KL, the old main terminal, to Singapore, at the old Tanjong Pagar station. It was an overnight train. Back the same way later that day, and had a slight delay at TP because there was filming that day. It was quicker and less hassle, using one single regular train.
with the completion of the southern double-tracking project from Gemas to JB, it will be more convenient and faster to take the train between Singapore and not only KL but the rest of Malaysia, particularly along the west coast of the peninsula to Padang Besar. we can still take the shuttle train from Woodlands until the completion of the new RTS line to Woodlands North directly connecting with the Thomson-East Coast MRT line.
0:23 is the Woodlands KTM ticket office and railway station. Despite the simple layout but it is the same as other KTM stations - it is managed by a station master (actually 2 masters but one standby) with two clerks as well as two porters. Besides Shuttle Tebrau tickets, you can also buy ETS tickets as well as Ekspres Selatan and Ekspres Rakyat Timuran tickets at Woodlands KTM station also.

Some years ago I travelled from Singapore to Kaula Lumpur by bus and it was the worst experience for me. Most of the personnel at Malaysian immigration offices were rude and criminal minded. I had been warned about them.
So there's only one immigration for both Singapore and Malaysia in the Singapore side when going to JB Sentral? How long was the train ride from Woodland to JB Sentral? Do they have luggage storage or just the overhead rack?
Hi, yes, when heading to JB Sentral, both immigrations are in singapore side. the train ride takes about 5 minutes. They do not have racks, but you can just sit at the front row seat with larger leg space to hold your luggage.
Thank you so much for the video! Wanted to ask, are there any kopitiams around Gemas station where I can have a heavy meal? If no, then would you recommend we bring along a lunch meal onboard the train from JB since the journey starts at 8.30am?
Hi, the journey is split into 3 segments, The travel time is just 5mins onboard KTM shuttle train between Singapore and Johor Bahru, the KTM train is roughly 4 hours and 45mins from JB Sentral to Gemas, and 2 hours 30mins onboard the ETS train from Gemas to KL Sentral.

Can I buy tickets at the station if I could not buy online? Also if I want to go to Padang Besar is it the same route? It’s my first time traveling alone. Your video is very useful! Thank you
@@knxknorr Hi, for tickets you can get them at the ticket machine located at the stations if you are unable to get it online. For Padang Besar if not wrong you have to change to another train at KL. The max this ETS train from Gemas can go is till Butterworth only.

Miss the direct route of the train from Tanjong pagar to KL. Hopefully, the ETS line from JB to KL will be up soon.

Totally can’t wait for the track project to be completed.
Sorry to say... Not the rest of Malaysia but the rest of peninsula Malaysia! Sabah n Sarawak also in Malaysia!! FIY !

Hi, there is a kopitiam at the old station beside the newer station, there is also a family mart and a KFC outlet nearby as well.

Good
Is it possible to take travel trough sg-kl in just one day? I mean without sleeping overnight like in the video
Yes, it is possible to complete it in a day, but your border crossing has to be quitr early before the train leaves JB sentral.
@@thebiannualtravellers ah i see, how early are we speaking? Do you have any suggestions on the scheduling? I’m afraid i could miss the train
Actually highly recommended that you stay overnight before the train so as to eliminate any possibility of missing the train.
@@thebiannualtravellers ah okay, thankyou for the info, really appreciate it!
@@thebiannualtravellers oh one other thing, is it mandatory to print the ticket? If so can i print at the station? Or i should print in other place?
Is the sleeper train still available from jb to kl ?
If it yes . How could i get the ticket?
Tks
Hi, there is no more sleeper train from JB to KL. The current sleeper train operates from JB to Tumpat (kelantan).
Any advice if i wanna go to kl direct at night ?
@ladang otak Hi, i believe the night buses will be a better option.
Where are the customs and immigration handled?
From SG to JB, both immigration are handed on the singapore side. There is a dedicated customs hall for train after the ticket check.
@@thebiannualtravellers Thank you
Hi... both trains is it easy to find a seat and where to put the luggages?hehe
Hi, when purchasing the tickets, you can reserve the seats. For the ETS train there is a luggage rack at the front and back of every carriage.
@@thebiannualtravellers how about the train from jb to gemas ... where to put the luggage?
Hi, we don’t remember seeing any luggage rack, only overhead compartments for the train from JB to gemas.
do they have wifi?
Hi, from what we know there is no wifi onboard.
How long does it take from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur?
Hi, the journey is split into 3 segments, The travel time is just 5mins onboard KTM shuttle train between Singapore and Johor Bahru, the KTM train is roughly 4 hours and 45mins from JB Sentral to Gemas, and 2 hours 30mins onboard the ETS train from Gemas to KL Sentral.
@@thebiannualtravellers thank you so much for the reply really appreciated
How many hours is the total journey?
Started around morning 8.30am reach KL around 6.30pm, roughly 10hrs with 2hrs break at Gemas .
So total from JB to KL how many hrs?
The travel time onboard the KTM is roughly 4 hours and 45mins from JB Sentral to Gemas, and 2 hours 30mins onboard the ETS train from Gemas to KL Sentral.
@@thebiannualtravellers thank you very much!!!
Can I buy tickets at the station if I could not buy online? Also if I want to go to Padang Besar is it the same route? It’s my first time traveling alone.
Your video is very useful! Thank you
Or I have to change at Parit Buntar?😅
@@knxknorr Hi, for tickets you can get them at the ticket machine located at the stations if you are unable to get it online. For Padang Besar if not wrong you have to change to another train at KL. The max this ETS train from Gemas can go is till Butterworth only.
From Johor to KL you have to search for KTM tickets from Johor Bahru to Gemas , then ETS tickets from Gemas to KL Sentral
How much from gemas to kl gold ets train?
