Construction of the Blue Line train project from Hua Lamphong to Bang Khae and from Taopoon to Tha Phra is 97.69 percent completed and the Blue Line extensions will be open to the public in September next year for the Hua Lamphong-Tha Phra-Lak Song section and in February 2020 for the Taopoon-Tha Phra section.

 

Deputy Transport Minister Pairin Chuchotethavorn on Monday conducted an inspection of the construction at Wat Mangkorn station in China Town area.

 

The Wat Mangkorn station of the Blue Line will be decorated with Sino-Portuguese architecture in compliance with the China Town environment. Dragon pattern will be the main theme of decorations and designs for the path leading to the station, the ceiling of the station and ticket booths with lotus pattern being painted on both sides of the walkway wall.

So they say they have to do another 2.31% and to complete this it takes another 1.5 years (in reality probably more like 2.5 or 3 years)? Something seems not right

Where does the Blue Line go?

Here is a picture.

But i don't really understand the concept.

Traffic wise it would probably make sense to have trains running in a circle, and the part Lak Song - Tha Phra being handled as an own route. But then it wouldn't make sense that both are the "blue line"

So probably they plan to make the route so that the train goes the whole round and passes Tha Phra twice every round.
