Travel on the ETS Kuala Kangsar to Ipoh train service is much quicker than travel by bus, but the train is more expensive.
The duration of the journey by train is around half an hour (to cover the roughly 40 km distance between Kuala Kangsar to Ipoh).
Please note: You can now also travel on a much cheaper and more regular KTM Komuter Utara (northern commuter train) between Kuala Kangsar and Ipoh.

Please note: as KTM now uses a Flexi Fare system, ticket prices will vary from those shown above depending on when you are travelling and how far in advance you book your tickets.
As with all travel by ETS train within Malaysia, it is always best to book your seats in advance.
Chances are you could buy tickets on the day of travel, however, there are going to be many days when all ETS trains will be operating full (especially at weekends and holidays).
So, we advise you to book at least a day or two in advance if you want to travel by train.
To book advance tickets you can visit any ETS train station ticketing counter.
