[my friend I]

I saw some of the new trains have arrived.

I guess at Makkasan u can transfer to a commuter train coming from Chachoengsao to continue to Hualamphong.

Trial running at Siemens Vienna, not the prettiest of trains, at least it has a Thai smile

I thought they were going to extend the Skytrain to the airport.? Is this train going to interface with the BTS? They will need to add some new rolling stock to the BTS if they do.

[Big A]

What exactly are the stations between the airport and Makkasan?

I live out Hua Mark way, and it may be closer than the BTS at Ekkamai or the subway at Ratchada to get into town.
