The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has received a directive from the government to broaden the Red Line electric train system to include Ayutthaya and Nakhon Pathom.

 

Surapong Piyachote, Deputy Transport Minister, on Wednesday disclosed that the existing 8.8 kilometer stretch from Rangsit to Thammasat University’s Rangsit Campus will be extended to Ayutthaya. In a similar vein, the 14.8 kilometer stretch from Taling Chan to Salaya will also be expanded to reach Nakhon Pathom.

 

The proposal for Rangsit-Thammasat University’s Rangsit Campus extension is already with the Secretariat of the Cabinet, awaiting placement on the cabinet meeting agenda.


Likewise, the Taling Chan-Salaya extension plan is set to be presented to the cabinet for review.

Good news, when it's complete I might go have a look at Ayutthaya..

 

It's totally unclear whether this refers to the historical town of Ayutthaya or to the industrial district of Bang Pa-in, which just happens to be within the province of Ayutthaya.  I strongly suspect it's the latter.

They certainly are pushing on with their skytrains. Before we know it the whole country will be accessible by them. But the big questions is are you allowed to bring balloons onto them?
