airasia if u depart woodlands at 7.30am and take cab to senai and take airasia, u can reach around 12.30pm.Originally posted by SpecOps87:Hmm...what bout flying there? Lets say by SQ or M'sian Airlines? How long will it take to reach Sunway Lagoon including transfers?
7.30am woodlands
8am johor bahru (depends on morning traffic)
8.45am reach senai airport for check-in
9.25am fly off
10.15am land at KLIA LCC-T
12.00pm KL Sentral
12.15pm take KTM Kommuter to Subang Jaya
12.45pm take shuttle bus in
quite far la, cos sunway is not in kl city itself, but at subang jaya, west of it.
SQ/MAS is very ex. cost u a bomb.
but once u complete the 45-minute journey, hop on to KLIA Ekspres at the basement and u'll be at KL Sentral half an hour later.
if im not wrong, this sin-kul shuttle service no need to check-in one. buy ticket and go. -
Does the coach go all the way to Sunway Lagoon direct? Or do I have to like go to the bus depot and get a cab down?
-
I've taken KTM trains a number of times. Well like wat some forummers mentioned partly is due to single track. Another reason is waiting for the other line's train coaches to pass over them. Anyway they usually stop very long at major stations like Gemas which is an interchange station

u can check at jb larkin but dun think so. maybe at kl puduraya bus station (where u alight) got more chances.Originally posted by SpecOps87:Does the coach go all the way to Sunway Lagoon direct? Or do I have to like go to the bus depot and get a cab down?
some city buses also go there from pudu. enquire while ure there.
tat is cos sunway is in the suburbs. -
Hmmm...ok,which is more worth while to go to which is fun? Comparing Sunway Lagoon and Berjaya Times Square
Budget is about SGD$600-SGD$700 for 2.Includes transport to and fro, hotel accomodation and theme park tickets. -
hard to say.
depends on whether u like thrill or u like shopping.
anyway berjaya times sq amusement park is not big at all. quite a waste of time imo. good there xi xi rook rook can liao.
just go sunway and slack there la.
if u dun mind the half an hour trip, u can visit kl city while u stay at sunway. -
Oh well, for me I like thrill, but am going with a mixed group of guys and gurls so yeah. Think a balanced one would be good.Originally posted by ^tamago^:hard to say.

kl got more stuff but no thrill, u can eat, shop, walk walk...... take a cab go to the suburb malls like damansara, or visit putrajaya....Originally posted by SpecOps87:Oh well, for me I like thrill, but am going with a mixed group of guys and gurls so yeah. Think a balanced one would be good.

1. Wait for signal to proceed.
2. As the junction of East coast (starts from Gemas to Tumpat) and West Coast (SG - KL - BW - PB - HatYai - BKK) lines, maybe to pick up the mail train passengers, or give sufficient time to drop off passengers taking mail train. -

If you have a choice, don't take the stupid KTM trains.
They are NORMALLY late. Being punctual is a miracle. Late departure for 1 hour is common. Then they stop at many stations, occasionally will breakdown.
In short, KTM is a badly run and managed company. I don't think anybody manages it, really. They just let the trains run according to 20-year old schedule and rules, and hope nothing serious happens.
I am speaking from personal experience. I was a regular train traveller myself. I always took the night train (10.30pm) from Singapore to KL Sentral, because I thought eventhough the journey takes 10 hours (scheduled to reach at 6.30am but actually will reach at 8.30am most likely), I can sleep on the train, so not so bad. Then at one point I got really fed up with the constant 1-hour delay in departure, and decided that I will now I will only take bus unless no choice.
And recently, there was a derailing incident. Luckily no one was severely injured, eventhough help arrived a FEW hours after the accident.
I tell you, it's a fvcked up service run by fvcked up people. -
If I go by the Night train, how much roughly? Will it be paid in SGD or RM? Also, where can I do the bookin?Thanks!Originally posted by jeremylmh:Me always travel by KTM ...

I reckon you should take Transnasional coach. They should have daytime services.
Love their MAN 18.310s. Better than Jap ones. -
