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:
“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)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
