KTM Simpang Ampat Train Schedule - Jadual KTM Komuter
KTM Simpang Ampat Railway Station (Stesen Keretapi Simpang Ampat) is a small railway station located in the state of Penang and is served by regular Komuter Trains (commuter) on the Ipoh - Bukit Mertajam - Butterworth Komuter Utara Route.
Long distance ETS services currently do not stop here, so if you want to travel by the new fast Electric Train Service, you will first have to take a short trip on the KTM Komuter to the nearby larger station of Parit Bunter.

Simpang Ampat ETS Trains
Currently none of the long distance Electric Train Services stop at Simpang Ampat, so you will first have to take a commuter services to the nearby station of Parit Buntar (just two stops) if heading south to places like KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur and beyond.
If heading north, it is easier and much cheaper to stick with the Komuter services but if you want to travel north by ETS train, take a KTM Komuter to Bukit Mertajam first.
