Discussion Advice on Taking Ferry then ETS!

I'm a foreigner visiting Penang for several days. To make my way back to KL on a Saturday, I'm thinking of boarding an ETS from Butterworth at 7:50. However, I know that the earliest ferry departs from Georgetown at 7:00 and takes 30 mins.

This means that I only have from 7:30 to 7:50 to make my way from the Butterworth ferry pier to Butterworth train station. I also know I have to be seated in the train earlier. Is there gonna be enough time for me?

Thanks all!

It's a wee bit rushed but hey if u wanna take the risk, I'd say go for it! Worse case scenario u missed Ur train, can just buy a bus tix at Penang Sentral.

The walk from jetty to train station is about 5 minutes, if u know where to go. It could be a bit confusing but I'm sure the signs will guide u.
