jackdd Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
