Electric Train Service to be in operation in a few months
GEORGE TOWN: It is good news for commuters for when the Korean-made Electric Train Service (ETS) is in operation in another few months they can reach their destinations faster.

It was reported the train can travel 160kmph and will take about 2 hours to complete a trip between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh.

The Electrified Double Tracking Project (Ipoh-Padang Besar) train spanning 329km linking Ipoh in Perak to Padang Besar in Perlis increases the accessibility of major cities.

The RM12 billion project will also provide an easier access to the northern states.

The project is carried out by contractor MMC-Gamuda Joint Venture Sdn Bhd.
