He said the team was gathering information to determine the feasibility of the proposed train service.
“The preliminary study has identified the route for the proposed train service which is Ipoh-Batu Gajah-Tronoh-Seri Iskandar-Kampung Acheh here,” he told reporters at a Chinese New Year open house here Friday.
In September last year, Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir requested the Transport Ministry to carry out a feasibility study on having a train service between Ipoh and Lumut to spur development, especially in the Manjung district.
He said the proposed train service could help to bring in more tourists to the Lumut-Pangkor tourism zone, as well as provide an alternative transportation of goods to and from Lumut Port.
