  I open this topic because the only place to ask on trains in this trains forum is restricted to MRT/LRT only.
  
  So if there is any other questions on other Singapore Trains, please post here.
  
  This includes KTM trains.
  
  Thank you.
  
  So I start with this question:
  
  Is there any possibility for more frequent SG---JB shuttles if using 4 ASCs and a loco? And any possibility to have more shuttles on weekends?

  In terms of Travelling time and price.. Most ppl would opt for Bus... and.. Pls bear in mind that theres only 1 track... so.. not possible to have too much shuttle..

  Another set of queries:
  
  1) I do not know if the trains/coaches used in SG-JB shuttle (the 65/6 were taken from the SG-Gua Musang mail train?
  
  2) Well, after running the shuttle, would the arrangement be this: the loco head back to SG, the coach left in JB sidings empty? (And thence in the next day morning a loco from SG to pick those coaches back)
  
  3) Is the arrangement of operation of the SG-JB shuttle be this:
  
  Gua Musang--->mail train--->SG--->shuttle train--->JB--->JB sidings--->JB--->shuttle train--->SG--->mail train--->Gua Musang--->repeat the whole chain of arrangement?
  
  And 4) usually what are the latest consist (i.e.the loco and coaches) of the SG-JB shuttle train?
  
  And 5) why not extend the current SG-Gemas (the Ekonomi Siang/mail) train into KL?

  I see...what about if they re-introduce the railcars again on the SG-JB sector? (I do not know if this helps?)
