The Johor Bahru to Wakaf Bharu train, up close.
The Ekspres Rakyat Timuran runs the whole length of the Jungle Railway in one go, from JB Sentral via Gemas and the Malaysian interior to Kelantan. Heading north, you board in the evening, spend the night on board in a berth or a seat, and leave the rainforest for the morning.
The jungle comes with breakfast
The most scenic part is the north, from Gua Musang through the Kelantan rainforest to the coastal plain. In this direction it comes at the end of the trip, after the night: check the timing below. Every train on this route covers the rainforest stretch from Gua Musang to Wakaf Bharu in daylight.
How long does the Johor Bahru to Wakaf Bharu train take?
Every train takes 15h35m. There is 1 train a day, the ERT26, leaving Johor Bahru at 19:30. It runs overnight.
Two railways in one trip
South of Gemas the train runs on the new electrified double track to JB Sentral. At Gemas it turns onto the single track East Coast Line, built between 1910 and 1931, and the pace changes completely.
