Rail repairs may take two years


Long way to go: There is still a lot of repair work in store for the badly damaged KTMB East Coast Line railway track before it can resume service.

KUALA LUMPUR: It may be two more years before people can ride the interstate train from Kuala Lumpur to Tumpat in Kelantan.

The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) said the track was damaged by the massive floods that hit the country last year and would take a year to repair.
