All train coaches on these Malaysian train services are air-conditioned.
If you want to book your train tickets in advance for any of these services, you can book your tickets at any KTM Intercity Railway Station within Malaysia, or the best option is to book them online as this is much more convenient.
We recommend you book your tickets as far in advance as possible, as these services that travel between Kuala Lumpur and JB Sentral are a popular way of travelling between the two cities and often very full, so the earlier you book the better.
If all the trains are full on the day you want to travel. you could always take a Kl - Kluang bus / coach.
