QUOTE(huaweie5830 @ Dec 12 2016, 11:57 PM) Dear Darren boy, u either make sacrifices take early one day unpaidleave , or u can take the night train, most properly u can reach Butterworth in the afternoon , as if u can buy the tix I missed the good old days , direct sleep berth night train , frm jb to kl , reach around 7am, but all gone like wind , no more since the fuking ets come out , now take flight every alternate weeks and cost x3 or x4 compared to last time Ask yourself. Are you really saving by doing this? Maybe you're over the top and actually only take a flight to kl once every 6 months.

But yes, I agree that every option have its pros and cons. But I don't like buying ticket from Larkin. Got cheated before. Bought ticket last time and when go there, they tell me no bus or something. Have to wait another few hours to get another bus and some more not to the destination I want. Will forever be a bad experience for me - Larkin.

 Syukur, 15 years time HSR only need to do immigration clearance once at point of departure, not bad  (But what I dun get is ... does it mean the KL - SG service doesn't stop at any station / town along the line?)

QUOTE(huaweie5830 @ Dec 13 2016, 06:29 PM) Thanks. But the train schedule is it reliable? I think sure got delays...so you can't buy your ticket cun-cun get-off-one-and-get-on-the-other. Sure in the end 14-15 hours to reach BW.

Even u take bus or flight oso same, not a single transport I took in malaysia can guarantee u 100% on time
