Tren from ipoh to kl available?
Good evening ,
I am flying from Hong Kong to KL on Wed 26 June with Airasia, eta 15:45.
I am planning to travel to Ipoh but the bus schedule doesn’t look too good.Booking a train ticket on line sounds logical but if my flight is delayed I will be in trouble. What are my chances of getting a ticket if I just turn up at the station shortly before departure time ? Many thanks in advance .
There should be still available train tickets on Wednesday because it shouldn’t be too busy on weekdays. Alternatively, you can buy a train ticket with a later time (e.g. at night), and if you are able to make it earlier on that day, you can cancel the ticket and get a 50% refund to buy an earlier ticket. Read https://www.klsentral.info/ktmb-ets-ticket-cancellation-refund/ for ETS train ticket refund policy.
