In my lifetime.  And the fact that Bill Heinecke and Minor Group are planning to invest says something.  Bill doesn't just jump into things without deep analysis.  He and his team must be having some interesting conversations with people in the government.  However . . .  The Ministry of Transport is involved.  The Ministry of Tourism and Sports is involved.  The Tourism Authority of Thailand is involved.  The SRT will have to be involved.  Got enough people involved?  Will there be enough tea money to pass around to everyone. Finally, there's mention of new rolling stock but there's no discussion about any improvements or upgrades to the rail beds.  Or improved safety at rail crossings.  That should be top of mind in Thailand after the recent tragedy in Bangkok. By the way, what ever happened to the Eastern &amp; Oriental Express that went from Thailand, into Malaysia and on to Singapore?  It's still running in Malaysia and Singapore but not in Thailand.  I wonder why.  (Actually I don't wonder, but it's just a theory on my part.) Anyway, good luck everyone.]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jun 2026 02:30:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Are you approaching 80?  Do you still drive a car?
