If you read it properly, there is no direct jb KL service. A transfer is required at Gemas. That's where you get the electric train.

1. It's GEMAS.
2. The same kereta api you take from JB has to depart Gemas at 4:15am for the trip back to JB.

HOLY JESUS

so when i alight 3am at gemas

then i will be left stranded until 7 am the kereta api come ?

That is a transfer in Gemas for all passengers for your train heading north.

Not an ideal time to go to KL by rail overnight. The day train has shorter transfer. The transfer is an interim arrangement in the period that the track from Gemas to JB is being electrified for the Electric Train Service, which will be able to serve JB in 2020 or so.

Share a friend’s experience. Train ride suppose to be 12 hours from Taiping to Woodlands. End up for both times, close to 18 hours as train broke down a number of times along the way.

He must have taken a minimum of 3 trains- Taiping-Gemas by electric train, Gemas-JB by the usual diesel type and finally the Tebrau Shuttle for JB-Woodlands. Perhaps about 10 hours on the trains, excluding time waiting for transfer. Not worth the time unless you love travelling by train.

Electric train only to gemas. No electric train after gemas to jb as of that time.

I see on the ktm site that there are many choices of trains for 17th November. For each train there are many seats. I suggest that you check the ktm site daily until you see the 24th available.
