Argus Tuft Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 For airport link users: Caught the ARL just now from Airport. They're using the old Express platform side instead of the usual City line platform. Just out of interest... One of the trainey members might be able to shed light on why. Track work perhaps?

straycat911 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 They dont run the express train anymore. Only the city line .. both use same track. They closed the makkassan direct to airport route long time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searat7 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's been about 2 1/2 years since the Express Train was running....I would love to know what happened to those trains. Were they converted to City Line trains or are they sitting in a rail yard rotting after having many parts removed to keep the other trains running since the SRT did not schedule routine maintenance on a timely basis.

Argus Tuft Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 I think you guys may have misunderstood my post. I'm quite aware that the Express line shut down some time back. And since that time, the platform it used to operate from at Suvanabhumi was unused. Today, instead of the City Line train leaving from the City Line platform, it was cordoned off, and a temporary path was in place to the former Express Line platform. Thus the City line train arrived to and departed from the Express platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get used on the City Line. I have been on one, about a year ago, and they are a lot more comfortable. The seating does not allow the same number of standing passengers so maybe only used in quiet times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They converted the interiors to be the same as the City Line trains a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to answer the original question, they are being used on the City Line, and have now been modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still had the toilet, but interior was bench seats either side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
