ETS Padang Besar to Alor Setar Train Schedule (Jadual)
If you want to travel on the ETS Train from Padang Besar to Alor Setar in Kedah, there are a number of Electric Train Services every day.
This short trip by the new Electric Train Service takes around 35 - 40 minutes.
Please Note: You can now also travel from Pdg. Besar to Alor Setar by the much cheaper KTM Komuter Trains that operate regular services every one or two hours apart, travelling between the Thai border and Butterworth in Penang.
The difference is:
ETS Trains stop at fewer stations and you are allocated a seat.
Komuter trains stop at every station and seats are on a first come first served basis, so you may have to stand if the trains are really busy.
This is usually not a problem most of the time and we would recommend you use the Komuter Trains on this short route.
