Fast Train KL/Ipoh

Postby naim » Tue Aug 10, 2010 11:54 am

Traveling KL/Ipoh is more convenient now. From tomorrow, 2hrs KL/Ipoh, 10x daily, should try this!

"KTM Bhd president Dr Aminuddin Adnan said it would take only two hours from Ipoh to KL at an average speed of 110kph and up to a maximum of 160kph."

Better still, we have a GG in the train for 2 hours. Arrive in Ipoh, say "hello" to our Ipoh bros, go for lunch, then sight seeing. Then have another return-journey GG :D =D> :lol:
