It was tout, but perhaps the train then is not the same as what we're building now. The current train planned is 160KM/h.
Anyway, I know for a fact if 1 hour ride for 310km, that means the train must be traveling at an average speed of 310KM/h. This is not up to debate, this is actual mathematics lol. I'm sure you can acknowledge this. Either you got the distance wrong, or the train speed has changed from original plan.
As far as I know, ECRL isn't using high-speed railway (bullet train).
Even here you can see the entire ECRL track (600KM) will take 4 hours - https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2022/01/...u-kl-four-hours. So I genuinely have no idea where you get the number 300km (half the track) will take only one hour. You might have remembered wrongly sorry.

nevertheless from Kuantan to Melawati with approx of 2 hours is still better then driving 2 hours
plus from my home I can actually see the ECRL pllars and tracks, hopefully the sound will be bearable

From 2017, even here it's mentioned travel time is cut to 4 hours.
Now assume the full line is 665km, divide by 4 is average speed of 160km/h.
So your 40 min from KL to Kuantan is definitely sembang kencang, only possible if the line is dedicated for passenger and fully upgraded to 300kmh which was not even in original scope and doesn't work with the main intention which is freight ops. Goods trains don't run on hsr tracks.
Anyway I fully support ECRL and believe it should not have been cut down in scope, again not for passenger travel but for supporting high density freight ops so that we can take away business from SG port

640KM with 4 hours 20 min for new line
640 is KB to Klang Port
not sure for ITT Gombak is the same distance
