Hi Pratiksha, Yes, travelling by train from Penang to Kuala Lumpur is absolutely possible and offers a scenic and comfortable journey. Here's what you need to know: Travel time: While there are no direct trains from Penang Island itself, you can take a short ferry ride from Georgetown to Butterworth (around 15 minutes) and then board a train to Kuala Lumpur. The train journey itself takes approximately 4 to 4.5 hours. Train companies: Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) is the national railway operator in Malaysia and offers several daily trains between Butterworth and Kuala Lumpur. Booking tickets: You can book your train tickets online through the KTM website (https://www.ktmb.com.my/) or at the Butterworth railway station. To reach Kuala Lumpur by 10 am, you'll need to target trains arriving at KL Sentral station by around 9:15 am. This means looking for departures from Butterworth no later than 4:30 am or 5 am, depending on the specific train schedule and travel time.
