Unlike ETS trains (they do not operate on this route), there is no need to book in advance so all you do is just go to BM train station, buy your tickets from the ticket counter then take the next northbound train heading to Padang Besar.
Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis so if you can, avoid the busy rush hours in the early morning and late afternoon and travel at off-peak times when the trains are not so full.
KTM Arau ke Terminal Feri Langkawi (Kuala Perlis Jeti)
If you are travelling to Langkawi Island from BM, you can take a taxi from the railway station in Arau straight to the jetty at Kuala Perlis (around 19km away).
Another cheaper but much longer way to get to the jetty is to take a bus from just outside the train station to Kangar Bus Terminal (Bukit Lagi).
From Kangar you then have to take another bus to Kuala Perlis Bus Terminal, then it is a short walk to the ferry terminal.
