From March 2020, KTM have changed this route to include all trains now travelling directly to Butterworth (Penang Sentral) - Previously to get to Butterworh you had to change trains at Bukit Mertajam.
If you want to travel to stations north into the states of Kedah and Perlis (all the way to the Thai border at Padang Besar), you can change trains at Bukit Mertajam to connect to the other Northern Commuter train route.
Usually, the timing between departures is just a few minutes, but at some times the wait can be quite a bit longer, so check the timetables carefully to make sure you can make the best connections.
Changing trains at Bukit Mertajam, you can take a cheap commuter train north to:
Tasek Gelugor, Sungai Petani, Gurun, Kobah, Alor Setar, Anak Bukit, Kodiang, Arau, Bukit Ketri and Padang Besar (the Malaysia / Thailand border train station).
