TRANSIT Says:
We are very happy to celebrate the 125th anniversary of train service in these lands – and we encourage public transport users to take advantage of these deals and take another memorable train trip.
We only wish that the 125 years anniversary will be marked with great celebration in Malaysia – at the very least, 1 June 2010 should be declared as KTM Day in honour of those 125 years of operations.
We know that KTMB has got problems – no company in existence can claim that they are problem free – but for one day at least, let’s set aside the problems and focus on the history & tradition of KTM.
Perhaps on 2 June 2010, the gloves will come off once again.

There is yet no any announcement made on the launch of the upcoming ETS service which is suppose to start in last April.

We have heard that the plan is now for “July”
We do not know when in “July” and will advise everyone as soon as we are updated by KTMB.
