Selangor nod for ECRL alignment


KUALA LUMPUR: In less than six years from now, passengers will be able to travel from the Klang Valley to Kota Baru in well below five hours on land.

This is a certainty, given that Selangor has now allowed the 170km-long Section C of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) to revert to its original alignment of passing through northern Gombak, where passengers from the Kelana Jaya LRT line can easily board ECRL passenger trains that are rated for a top speed of 160kph.
