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:
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
