Malaysia: 12/12/25 Electric Trains Finally Reach Johor Bahru
As of 12th December 2025 the much-delayed KTM Electric Train Service (ETS) has been extended to/from Johor Bahru (JB Sentral), initially with only two trains in each direction, so direct travel between Johor & Kuala Lumpur is now possible.
And with effect from 01/01/26 the service improves to five trains per day with one being extended all the way to/from Padang Besar (Malaysia / Thailand border).
