Whoa! Nice trains! I hope next time when I'm in the car waiting for the train to pass, I won't hear "ZZZHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" but silent. Because it's electric right?
*
Yes, the sound should be similar to KTM Komuter trains.

More expensive than current train ticket for sure.

will ticket price be increaSED a bit?
as if it happens soon, it will much a desired transportation mode among people due to it being a cheaper option than taking a bus
*
For sure, ETS ticket price should be more expensive than existing ones, as it is faster and electric, so in a way, this is considered to be premium service...

Want cheaper service, take diesel train then.

I wonder, is it the same train with KLIA Ekspress?

For me, KLIA Ekspress currently the best... Smooth and silence...  tongue.gif
*
Nope, KLIA Ekspres train is from Germany and this one used by KTMB, from South Korea...

It will have canteens for sure, then power points, and toilets.

I doubt, this train is EMU, whereas the older trains are consist of locomotives + coaches that are easily changed.

No such question as being conned.

New Zealand bought electric trains from Mitsui (Japan), but the trains are manufactured by Hyundai in Korea.

Hyundai Rotem wasn't mentioned in the article. Some of the Komuter trains are also korean models (Hyundai or Samsung or something)
*
Class 83 EMU came from Hyundai

Tambah Aminuddin, ETS mempunyai reka bentuk dalaman yang menarik, dilengkapi pendingin hawa, televisyen LCD, ciri mesra pengguna kurang upaya dan ciri keselamatan Automatic Train Protection System.

"Untuk memastikan pemandu sentiasa peka dalam pemanduan, pemandu ETS dikehendaki menekan satu butang setiap 30 saat bagi menunjukkan mereka sedang memberikan sepenuh konsentrasi. Sekiranya mereka tidak menekan butang itu, tren akan bergerak perlahan dan berhenti," kata Aminuddin sambil memberitahu ETS berkapasiti 350 penumpang.

In Japan, the train drivers have to point the signal whenever they see go and say something.

In our case, train drivers need to press the button every 30 seconds to confirm or stay alert.

Well, at least the new electric train sounds good. Not pressing the button, the train will slow down.

1 hour 55 minutes from KL to Ipoh, meaning you may not need to drive or take bus.

No mention of that.

But logically, impossible not to have stops along the way, because to Ipoh alone, you may need extra passengers, don't you think so? biggrin.gif

Tanjung Malim, a big station.

The first EMU model came from Austria if not mistaken, the boxy model with 2 small doors  doh.gif  but sturdy and fast

Class 81 = Austria

Class 82 = South Africa

Class 83 = South Korea

Actually, in my opinion, the class 81 is more suitable for long distance rather than short distance.
