My wife and girls took the "sleeper train" on Sunday afternoon. Depature was at 4:30 PM. Unfortunately delayed 8 hours when it hit a truck on the railway crossing between Lamphun and Lampang.

bloody hel_l. i'm sure there used to be more trains departing in the evening from CM though? could that be down to reduced tourist rates?

Looking at the timetable you provided. there are sleepers departing at 16:30 and 17:50 and a diesel rail car at 21:00. The same number of trains as before, but at slightly earlier times - I believe.

yeah that seems to be about the sum total of it. 9pm it is.
