There's a photo in MW about a new train set of aerotrain doing a test run in KUL. I guess we are going to

1) shake our heads in disbelief that MAB actually delivered something on time

LOL!

The new train set is identical in look with the old train set. Or it could be the old train set getting a new coat of paint, I am not sure.

Hope it's true! I'm tired of the bus, and tired of going down escalator after escalator with a trolley bag...

Aerotrains at KLIA to resume ops on Mar 23

The Aerotrains connecting the main terminal and satellite buildings at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) will be fully operational on March 23.

The construction of the new spurline connecting the Operation Maintenance and Services Facility (OMSF), the crossover switch between the existing tracks and the delivery of the new three-car Aerotrains, will be completed as scheduled on March 15.

Malaysia Airports said in a statement today that the Aerotrains are currently operating on a dry run basis.

As an additional precautionary measure before the Aerotrains are made available for public use, Malaysia Airports has decided to extend the dry runs until March 22, to ensure and enhance the safety of operations.

It said the Aerotrains could be made available earlier to the public prior to March 23, should the dry runs prove to be satisfactory. - Bernama

If it's only delayed by a week, they've actually done surprisingly well

I saw the trains running while sending off my friend last night. Test runs?

Sometimes don't we Malaysian wish that we were Japanese instead?

Umm under the current circumstances - no

[SliverKris]

I meant with regards to punctuality.

No test run for me
