CNY : Back to IPOH by Train

YEAHHHHH .. I just got my train ticket back to IPOH for this coming CNY....
It is a another new experience..
All the time I used to drive back and always stuck at the highway......
I remember there was once that I travel back around 3am in the morning .. Kiasu huh...
But still jam .... sigh .. this year I hope everything will goes well.

So this time I will just sit back, relax & enjoy a good movie (from my notebook) .....
or maybe get a Mc Value meals and enjoy some snacks during the journey..
Should be very exciting and fun ....
Besides that iI think my wife is more excited.. this is her first experience that she is taking a local train.....
Hopes everything goes well and no DELAY........

Price
It cost me RM68 for 2 persons with return ticket.
Actually for economy class is only RM12/person.
However the ticket for economy class from KL to Ipoh already finished and I had to get the first class ticket.
It cost RM22/person

Benefit :
Save up RM42
No hassle and no need to stuck in the traffic Jam
New experience for my wife....

Negative:
Cannot bring much luggage
Have to use dad car while in IPOH
Longer lead time about 3 hours instead of 2 hours by car... (but anyway if stuck in the traffic the lead time by car will be 4 hours) so it should be advantage......
Need to follow the departure time.
Might delay

Another applause to KTM is that they are doing online ticket purchase.
I purchase my ticket online and it was simple and easy....
Check it out the KTM website:-

    Thanks for the info, have to wait for another 2 weeks to try their roast pork :( ......
    If you happen to love roast pork, try the SS2 morning market roast pork (female seller). So far it is the best roast pork that that I had tasted. Must go early ....
