Two additional ETS sets to arrive from China in April, be operational in August after completing trials: Loke

An additional two Electric Train Service (ETS) sets are expected to arrive in Malaysia in April, and be operational by August this year after completing the necessary trials, Bernama has reported.

“Two trains from China with eight sets being put together in Batu Gajah, Perak will complete the southern route of the line, following the start of the ETS service at Segamat station in Johor on March 15,” transport minister Anthony Loke said.

We don’t have to wait for all 10 sets to start operating, [and] we will use whichever set that is completed. For Gemas to Johor Baru there will be three phases – Phase 1 till Segamat, Phase 2 till Kluang, Phase 3 till JB Sentral,” Loke said, adding that the ETS will offer business class travel to offer a more premium service to passengers.
