As reported in the local news, the bus was full of workers on their way to the temple to make merit. Apparently there was even a DJ onboard so maybe the reason why the crossing's loud, audible warning wasn't heard by the bus driver or anyone else onboard. Mrs NL reckons that being a tamboon bus, it probably would have been full-on party central onboard.

 

The crossing there has three tracks, two for non-stop, each-way traffic on the main line and a third one on the north side which extends from Bangkok to Chachoengsao and looks like maybe it was the original single-track line and the one normally used for freight trains? It also looks like this 'goods line' may be being rebuilt about 4 km east of the accident site so maybe why the freight strain was on the mainline? The next set of points where trains can be redirected across all three tracks is about 4 km west of the accident site.

 

The bus had already crossed the single track and was hit by the freight train on the main line. I would have thought that a level crossing that wide, maybe 25 m across and on a quite busy track would have had barriers. Maybe it will in the future.

 

The video clip does appear to show the amber flashing lights may not have been operating but the low resolution and filtering of the video may account for that. However, witnesses have been reported as saying the loud audible warning is working and was ringing at the time.

 

With regard to the train 'not stopping', it did stop but the driver, knowing the length of his consist would have made sure his last car was clear of the accident site.

 

RIP

 

 

WHY are there passengers on the train IF IT WAS a freight train ???

... yes, sounds good but very slow process, been there & done that back home in the 1990s.

It's expensive to upgrade these crossings, so is later maintenance, the only safe way is to go above or below, just like with a real highway a.k.a. Autobahn, now we talking about really effin' expensive ...

 

First of all - again from experience - the sheer number of crossings will need to be cut and the remaining ones sized up and made safer technically ...

 

Btw., I suppose the trains have to slow down at this spot as well as lots of others anyway, by schedule, due to 'low safety standard' at these crossings ... underpasses sound good, yes, but aside of costs might be flooded half the time in these here lands ... 

 

ARE there any signs at the sides of the tracks to tell train drivers to SLOW DOWN ??

bet that there ARE NONE.......!!

At 70 years of age and walking long distances with the aid of a walking stick, be damned if I'm going to walk up 3+ flights of stairs when it would be so simple to walk onto a tram. Bit of a difference between photo1 and photo 2

so still use the baht taxis.........

What's wrong with fewer choices? The last time I got a Resident Certificate from Jomtien Immigration there was only 2 options: Drivers licence or Other. You just wrote why you needed the RC next to Other. 

selling a vehicle one needs C of R.....I know as i have done it in June this year !!!!!

As I said before   "Bangkok on Sea"  

will there be lifts so people with disabilities  can use it ?  in fact just dragging a suit case up and down the sky train stairs is a bit of a hassle.

 

The baht bus system works well enough  its cheap and very convenient, no stairs to navigate  if you have luggage or shopping

they can even take you direct to your door for a bigger fee of course.

The rip off come from the "Taxi Meter"   who refuse to use the meter..why have they been allowed to get away with that for so long ?

and will there be escalators to the platforms....NO STEPS ???
