KUALA LUMPUR, June 4- KTM Berhad (KTM) will stop eight of its Inter-City services including four from Kuala Lumpur to Butterworth and back, namely, Ekspress Sinaran Utara and Senanduang Mutiara from July 1.
Two services between Tumpat and Woodlands CIQ, in Singapore, namely, Ekpress Sinaran Timur and two services between Gemas and Woodland CIQ, namely, Tebrau Shuttle would also be stopped, KTM said in statement here today.
According to KTM, the move was taken after taking into account the need to repair and upgrade existing coaches and the development of the ongoing twin rail project, besides requests by passengers.
KTM is also restructuring six of its train services, namely two Express Senandung Langkawi services from Kuala Lumpur to Hat Yai and back, which now will also make stops at the Butterworth station.
Also the Senandung Timuran service from Woodlands CIQ to Tumpat; Senandung Sutera service from Kuala Lumpur Sentral to Woodlands CIQ and Kuala Lipis-Singapore shuttle service (both directions).
Under the restructuring, the Senandung Timuran and Senandung will be making all the stops that the Tebrau Shuttle used to make from Gemas to Woodlands CIQ while the Senandun Timuran will make the stops on the Kuala Lipis-Singapore route.
