I love written details on travel vlogs like this; you learn more that images cannot provide but some of the information especially in the beginning is just too fast. Sure you can pause it but it does get in the way of the flow.
FYI, Taiping was the capital of Perak during British occupation in Malaya before moved to Ipoh in 1935..and also the town with many first's together with oldest railway station in Malaysia dated back to 1885
7:34 Yes. It is for the JB-Singapore RTS. In fact, the entire construction you saw in JB Sentral area was the RTS. The station, known as Bukit Chagar, will sit at this very spot above the KTMB tracks. The station will also have a separate Customs & Immigrations for those using the RTS. The viaduct at 7:53 is the tracks towards the RTS depot. The RTS is entirely elevated in JB. Only in Singapore does it enter a tunnel. The RTS will be connected to the bridge linking JB Sentral, City Square Mall, JBCC Komtar & R&F mall, as well as a future bridge to the future Coronation Square. On Singapore side, the station is known as Woodlands North Station, & will be connected to the same namesake station of the Thomson-East Coast Line. 38:20 that's Rembau station. Currently only used as a Komuter stop for the Pulau Sebang - Batu Caves line 1:06:51 that's the new Bukit Berapit twin tunnels. 1:07:07 that's the Bukit Larut tunnel.
Thank you so kindly for sharing the information.🤗 I can't wait for this project to be completed. Currently, I think the smoothest way to cross the border is by bus, but I think it will be much more convenient if the RTS, which crosses the border as frequently as a commuter train, connects with the MRT at Woodlands North. When is the RTS construction scheduled to be completed? I will definitely visit when it is and see this modern border.😎 Anyway, @nick_1551 Thank you for sharing the other detailed information. I will re-edit some of the subtitles and apply them☺️
I hope the government is smart enough not to build HSR as it is not cost effective only leading to debt like what China is experiencing now. I think ETS will serve the purpose. Sometimes when vanity gets into the head, people just want the HSR without knowing the consequences.
Emma, Good video . Thank you , wonderful travel , I watched it 3 times already in a month , also the trip back. Love the witch broom in Hue Hin , it must've collided with a train from Bangkok 😁.
I think only KLIA transit stop at TBS. Alternative route is MRT to Putrajaya & connect to KLIA train. Book in advance KLIA express for cheaper ticket price
I think the ECLR is a very attractive route between cities on the East Coast! But, Once the ECLR is completed, will the Jungle Train's East Coast line between Tumpat and Gemas be discontinued?
Di Indonesia lebih dulu ada daripada semenanjung 😂😂. Jangan meludah terkena muka sendiri. Di Asia, tahun 1864, Indonesia adalah pemilik kereta api tertua di Asia setelah India, baru itu diikuti oleh China & Japan. Bahkan kereta api listrik, Indonesia sudah ada sejak 6 April 1925. Negara pertama di Asia Tenggara😂. Kereta api pun sudah ada mulai dari Sabang, Aceh & berlanjut sampai ke Bakauheni Lampung (Sumatra), lalu bersambung lagi dari Merak Banten ujung barat Jawa sampai Banyuwangi di Ujung timur Jawa. Berlanjut lagi di pulau Madura (khusus di pulau Madura, railway sepanjang 201 km sudah non aktif), lanjut lagi di Pulau Sulawesi (jalur Trans Sulawesi). Bahkan di Papua pun di Timika ada jalur kereta api bawah tanah untuk operasional pertambangan Freeport😂😂. Indonesia adalah pemilik jalur kereta api terpanjang no 1 di Asia tenggara (total panjang railway sampai tahun 2023 adalah 8260 km). 1 pulau Jawa saja, 3000 km lebih, itupun jauh lebih panjang 2x lipat daripada jalur railway di semenanjung + Sabah yang pendek 😂😂.
Thank you for watching! There are no early morning trains from Singapore to Johor Bahru, so I'll go by bus. I'll take a train from Johor Bahru and stay overnight in Butterworth. The next day I'll go from Butterworth to Padang Besar and take an overnight train to Bangkok. This will be a total of 2 nights and 3 days.
This video could have been more informative,,you should give your comments too along the video,, how much total time it takes,,food availability etc should be clearly explained,good effort but need for more improvement,,,,,,

You wasted your time with kmtb.. Why you must take this kind of train? Too many stop.. Maybe you took city interchange which need to stop in all the way station.. The better way is took bus from Singapore to kuala Lumpur.. Took a train at kl sentral straight to padang besar.. In only 1 train with changing any train.. When reach padang, a locomotive smt will take over from padang besar
That's right. The bus network in Malaysia is very well developed! I would like to try it next time. I've heard there are luxury buses between Singapore and KL and I'm very interested.
1:27:33 It is just unbelievable : everywhere on this globe people are clad in the most primitive way. Where is the meaning in travelling, when you meet banality, primitivity and vulgarity whereever you go?
