This particular Wild Malaysia Journey occured during my off day, thus, a bold plan was made: to catch the train at Kuala Lipis, race it to Kuala Krau or Mentakab, then back to Kuala Lumpur.
The plan went successfully at Kuala Lipis; I overtook the train shortly after Kerambit, and so got greedy, and tried to catch it at Mela, which I failed spectacularly; the train passed Mela just when I was about to get into position.
Then I continued the race to Kuala Krau, but I lost too: when I got to the station I saw only the green tail.
I had no choice but to catch it at Triang because trying to intercept it at Mentakab would be too late. Lucky for me the train didn't proceed to Kemayan for crossing with the Shuttle.
0:00 Eastern & Oriental Express 30 at Kuala Lipis
7:59 Triang - crossing with Shuttle 36
14:02 Kuala Lumpur Old Station
20:22 Eastern & Oriental Express 31
