From Pulau Sebang / Tampin, you can use these trains to travel to:
Batang Melaka, Gemas (the current end of the line for ETS trains), Segamat, Labis, Bekok, Paloh, Chamek, Kluang, Renggam, Layang-Layang, Kulai, Kempas Baru and Johor Bahru JB Sentral Railway Station.
From JB you can then connect to a Shuttle train to Woodlands Station in Singapore.
Tickets for Komuter trains are only available for sale on the day of travel, so you just turn up and buy your tickets for the next departure (no seat reservation available - seats are on a first come, first served basis)..
If you are planning to use the ETS or Shuttle / Intercity Trains you will need to buy your tickets in advance as these services can often be full and you need to reserve a seat.
If you just turn up at Tampin expecting to get a ticket, you will often be disappointed.
Tickets for these trains are usually available a couple of months in advance, but booking periods vary quite a lot throughout the year, depending on when KTM release the tickets for sale and when they are going to make the next timetable change.
You can buy your advance train tickets from any mainline KTMB railway station ticketing office or online via the KTMB website, or you can use an online agent.
