Services
KTM Intercity services once served the station but have since ceased. Trains between Malaysia and Thailand (the International Express or Ekspres Antarabangsa, between Butterworth and Bangkok, and the Ekspres Langkawi, between Kuala Lumpur and Hat Yai) cross the border on the western branch of the Malay network at Padang Besar railway station. Later, DMUs from Thailand took up the entire schedule until drivers' protests against terminating the DMU services at Kota Bharu and Tumpat, which arose due to unexpected numbers of passengers and led to its disuse.
