Thailand’s Longest Train Tunnel Closed for Cleaning:

Thailand’s longest train tunnel, the Pha Sadet tunnel in Saraburi province, has been temporarily closed due to passenger complaints about thick dust. The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has mandated a 14-day clean-up by the contractor. The tunnel, part of a new double-track railway to northeast Thailand, spans 5.4 kilometres and has just opened. Dust, blown back inside by strong winds after initial cleaning, caused discomfort for passengers. During the closure, trains will revert to the older route, increasing travel time. The SRT plans to reopen the tunnel on August 12, ensuring it is thoroughly cleaned and safe for passengers.
