Kamunting KTM Komuter Trains
Kamunting Station used to be the last stop on the Butterworth to Kamunting Komuter line, but this service has been extended a few times and now these commuter trains travel much further south to Taiping, Padang Rengas, Kuala Kangsar, Sungai Siput and Ipoh.
There are now many services a day on the Ipoh to Bukit Mertajam / Butterworth Penang route.
You can use these train to travel from Kamunting to:
Bagan Serai, Parit Buntar, Nibong Tebal, Simpang Ampat and Bukit Mertajam, Bukit Tengah and Butterworth - to the north.
Taiping, Padang Rengas, Kuala Kangsar, Sungai Siput and Ipoh - to the south.
You can also travel further north by these cheap Komuter train services if you change trains at Bukit Mertajam and join the Butterworth - Padang Besar Komuter route (taking you all the way to the border with Thailand).

If you want to travel north to places like Alor Setar and Arau (for the ferries to Langkawi island), Sungai Petani or up to the Thailand border, you can either choose to take an ETS train from Parit Buntar, or a much cheaper option is to take one Komuter Train to Bukit Mertajam and change there for another Komuter which goes all the way to the Thai border.
Kamunting ETS Trains (Electric Train Services)
Now the ETS services on the Kuala Lumpur to Padang Besar / Butterworth routes are no longer stopping at Kamunting, you will have to take a KTM Komuter Train to the nearest main station to catch one of these fast trains.
If you want to travel to the north by ETS, go to Parit Buntar (where all Gold ETS services and Platinum ETS services stop)
If you want to travel to the south (KL Sentral, Gemas..)
Take a Komuter to Taiping or Ipoh where both Gold and Platinum ETS Services stop.
You can travel by ETS as far south as Gemas, where you will currently have to change trains to take one of the Shuttle services further south to Johor Bahru (JB Sentral Station).
From Johor Bahru you can then change trains to take the short five minute journey over the causeway to Singapore Woodlands Station.
All ETS Trains heading south stop at popular destinations such as Kuala Kangsar, Ipoh, Batu Gajah, Kampar, Tapah Road, Tanjung Malim and Kuala Lumpur KL Sentral.
A few services then continue from KL Sentral on to Seremban, Tampin and Gemas.
To the north (Arau, Alor Setar, Padang Besar etc) you can choose to go by ETS or Komuter Train.
