snoop1130 35788 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Under heavy criticism for what is being seen as a waste of taxpayers’ money, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has decided to postpone its plan to replace Bang Sue Grand Station’s name plate and the redesign of the SRT logo. An informed source said that the SRT has notified the management of Uniq Engineering and Construction (UNIQ) in writing of the postponement of the plan until further notice. Uniq was awarded a 33-million baht contract to change the nameplate to Krung Thep Aphiwat Train Terminal, a name which was presented by His Majesty the King last September. Installation work was scheduled to start on January 3rd.

From a different angle, do they have permission from the head honcho to put all of this on hold/change the name etc? Serious question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question. A question you are good in asking. When the head honcho says jump they jump. I think the main issue is why was this mot fine when the station was being built and why not name it then with the new name....afterthought perhaps. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question. It is the head honcho who has probably stopped it, as it doesnt exactly boost popularity does it? Stopped just as this thread will probably soon be stopped...555.
