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.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
—Anonymous.
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
