  Hi,
  
  Wondering how long does it take to travel to KL via KTM as compared to via a coach. Also any idea of the facilities onboard the KTM train and their rates? Thanks alot, as am thinking of making a trip to KL at the end of the month with my friends
  
  Thanks!

  Trust me. Its better off in a bus coach rather than a train.
  
  Coach : 3 to 4 hours.
  
  Train : 5 to 6 hours.
  
  Reason is, the train stops at certain stations.

  Partly cos the track is single track...
  
  So when it reaches some station, the trains have to give way

  Really? What coach company you use??
  
  Certain coaches policy must have mandatory stops along the highway at restpoints. But seriously, most coaches will try to arrive KL in 4 hrs.
