How many train routes does KTM run?
3 of the routes in this atlas are KTM services, covering 1,358 km across 1 country (Malaysia). That is what this atlas draws, not the operator's whole network — a national railway runs thousands of local services no map of notable journeys would list.
What is the fastest KTM train?
The KTM ETS, Kuala Lumpur to Padang Besar, at up to 140 km/h. Its fastest scheduled run takes 5 h 30 min over 500 km.
Does KTM run night trains?
Not in this atlas. All 3 KTM routes listed here are daytime services.
When was KTM founded?
Wikidata records the company's inception as 1992, and files it as a state-owned enterprise. The oldest railway it runs over in this atlas opened in 1931 — the line and the company are rarely the same age, and this page dates both.
