Exactly !
The trains are slow, prone to delays and very bumpy. I have ocassionally taken the train over the years and have never been a happy passenger. I also would never consider the night train and I dont undertstand why so many here are willing to torture themselves with the overnight train inorder to save a night accomodation when one can get a decent 4 star hotel room in KL for as little as USD50-60.
