KTM Komuter Northern Sector

The KTM Komuter Northern Sector (Malay: KTM Komuter Utara) is one of the five KTM Komuter services run by Malaysian rail operator Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM). The service was introduced on 11 September 2015 following the completion of the Ipoh-Padang Besar Electrification and Double-Tracking Project in December 2014, which also saw the extension of ETS services to Padang Besar from Ipoh.

Currently, the KTM Komuter Northern Sector consists of two routes, namely the Butterworth - Padang Besar route and the Ipoh - Butterworth route. The lines share tracks with KTM ETS services, though the Komuter services call at stations also not served by ETS.

The KTM Komuter Northern Section consists of two routes:

Since November 2021, the Butterworth-Padang Rengas route replaced the Bukit MertajamKamunting route. The Bukit Mertajam, Bukit Tengah and Butterworth stations are common stations between the two lines. On 16 September 2023, the ButterworthPadang Rengas route was extended southwards to Ipoh.

⇄ = cross-platform interchange

The train that are used to run on this track were the Class 83 and Class 92 while the other sets are used to operate on the Central sector.

KTM Komuter Northern Sector has 2 routes/lines, in which they have their own schedule.

The KTM Komuter Northern Service was introduced on 11 September 2015. The initial service ran between Gurun in Kedah, Butterworth in Penang and Kamunting in Perak. On 1 January 2016, a service between Butterworth and Padang Besar in Perlis was introduced. With the introduction of KTM Komuter services on this section, two KTM ETS services that ran between these stations have ceased, reducing the number of ETS services between the stations to make way for the new KTM Komuter service.
