LIVE KL - Seremban

(ed note: Earlier, I tried typing this post on my BlackBerry, but sadly, the posting Page hardly rendered properly, so I am now confined to using my BlackBerry PlayBook to type this out. Hopefully it works.)

So, right now I am on the new KTM Komuter train to Seremban, a very different train than the one I regularly use. For starters, it is just slightly half the price, and the commuter trains are newer than the Electronic Train Service set that ply the Kuala Lumpur - Ipoh and - Seremban express and limited stop routes.

Question now is: can it live up to the tag of 'modern train service' and Malayan Railways' pledge to provide better rail services?

And most importantly, how will they differentiate from the limited service high speed-ish service the ETS provides? Is it worth that extra premium?

Of course, as custom dictates, I boarded the train from the Old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station. Let's see how the commuter train fares. I doubt it'll be 15-20 minutes longer than the ETS services to Seremban station.

So, as I'm typing away on my PlayBook, finally getting the hand of mobile posting, will I be doing more live reports? Perhaps.

And as of now, roughly 20 minutes in to our journey, we have passed Serdang station, effectively putting us at 1/4 of our journey.

Will try and post more pictures for your viewing pleasure!
