1/1/2018 [KTM] Eastward Trainspottings 

Yeah, they have clearly stepped up in transport across Malaysia but it isn't enough. KTM Kommuter is still pretty bad and old and the trains still run pretty slow. The private companies like RapidKL seem to be doing pretty well in terms of Metro trains but KTM still has a lot of work to do.

Even though the trains are new they still run slow. They are manufactured in China I'm pretty sure.

Mr David Mackenziey tq

yea never thought Malaysia has high speed train. Luv ya from Indonesia

Honestly, there is a lot of improvement need to be done and need a great management team to supervise everything. Like ETS service , in Japanese standard, it's a semi-high speed limited express and it's more than enough running around 140-160km/h in a meter gauge track. However, running at meter gauge track is quite a challenge so that's why maintenance is a must frequently , but then KTMB in my point of view still lack of frequent maintenance.

Zaidi Jeddy New government, smua impian2 tu dh kabur sekarang,,, huhu,

Zaidi Jeddy batal dah ecrl now project double track gemas jb

@@megatgrant7877 ye gemas jb diteruskan kembali

Hsr dgn ecrl x batal cuma tangguh. New govt tekan CCCC utk kurangkan lagi kos. If CCCCx setuju kerajaan boleh open tender balik. Jepun, perancis dan korea masih lagi berminat

@@shahrulnizam8125 ecrl is mostly dead tapi at least hsr masih hidup and is expected utk beroperasi pada tahun 2027

Philip Soon The electrified double tracking started way back in 1995 around the Klang Valley. Then around 2004 that was extended to Ipoh, with new UIC54 rails. About 2008 the double track started from Ipoh to Padang Besar and from Seremban to Gemas, which was completed in 2013. Now they are upgrading the 1995 Klang Valley tracks to current UIC54 standard. Track refurbishment projects are now ongoing in the East Coast Line (Gemas - Tumpat, single line though). A new double tracking project is now just started from Gemas to Johor Bahru.

I recall travelling between Butterworth and Singapore in May 2006 and did notice improvements along some sections of the mainline. Glad to know that there's serious effort by the govt to upgrade the rail network.

BTW, love your videos. Pity that the technology was not available to record the railway scenes of the '50s through to the '80s in the same quality as yours. Good job

ROGER EVANS Thanks for the subscription :) There are no more through passenger trains from Malaysia to Thailand due to the questionable policy of KTM keeping only electrically powered passenger trains (ETS and Komuter) on electrified tracks. For the few through freight trains into Thailand, it's the same: SRT locos take over at Padang Besar.

Ok thanks. I won't go looking for KTM Toshiba's when I go to Thailand next ! Been photographing trains in Australia for 40 years and just starting to spread my wings a bit. Might be time to give Malaysia a look too

pls note that a electrified gemas-padang besar has rendered diesel hauled passenger train and night train obsolete, same thing in western europe as the extension of high speed rail are effectively killing night train

@@DanielQihuaiNg that's why Thailand need to upgrade to double track electrified so that it can telly with ETS

@@josephtan1818 No. The Nightjet overnight sleeper train is still packed with passengers between Amsterdam and Vienna.

There is no railway in Kuantan.

fauzi rahim Only klia express train services recorded 99.7% on time.

Ginger Teddy im a daily user of ktmb sg petani-butterworth. The timing is gettin better nowadays. Almost no delay at all

@@zaarbba3420 for KTM the things they need to improve is the frequency of trains. If you miss a commuter train, you need wait a long time for another.

@@TravellingKuro Yes, I think KTM needs to have at least a ETS arriving at each station every 6-10 minutes.

@@Justineexy ETS the interval between each train long i still can understand cause its long distance. For commuter services, if they can at least improve it to every 15 minute, i happy aldy, no need until 6 7 minutes

Yes it has already done in Indonesia, my friend told me from west Java to east Java. Indonesia.

@@ismailaziz5508 There's isn't a Bullet style train going from west java to east Java. The new HSR line haven't been completed, The first section will be opening soon but there's still a lot more to built before finishing it.

Zarif Haikal terima kasih bro. Kenapa Batang Kali?

s kamunting pn cun jugak daniel. huhu

Try ask Mr Google. He knows everything. Try ask him "Railway Speeder". :)

Ets: ipoh - gemas ktm intercity Ekspres rakyat timuran: gemas - tumpat Synchronizekan jadual tren ko utk pastikan waktu menunggu antara ets & ktm intercity x lama, kalo x mereput la kat stesen gemas tu ;)

Edmund Liew depends on train set. KTMB has many set lol not one. Hahaha

ni ets kan ?

9:52

that's why I took my personal F-35B instead of taking a train. Did you even watch the video?

And 1:53

Kelajuan maksimun sebenar 160km/j.tetapi di hadkan hanya 130km/j hingga ke 150km/j dalam satu2 perjalanan.sy pernah berhikmad di ktm

@@firdausatingah9538 itulah beza iklan dan realiti. Tapi lambat takpa, janji selamat sampai.

Aleya Shafi Yang indonesia punya tak dak tingkap pecah, hidung pecah... Ni ets ada yang hidung pecah, hilang.... Kalau KTM jaga elok2 mmg cantik... Tapi.... :(

Tgk la landasan dia pakai gauge apa... Tak logik kalau HSR boleh lalu landasan sempit mcm metre gauge.

Lembab pala bana kau...aku dah naik ngok
