Is The Train To Bangkok From Surat Running ?

[southbot]

Hi, I just visited the Thai Rail website where an article, dated October 31, states the the southern rail trains are not running.

Is this the case?

Does anybody know for sure if the train from Surat Thani to Bangkok is running?

I want to go up via the train (my favorite form of transport) on or around December 7th and would be quite disappointed if I had to give that money to evil B-Air.

anybody know?

thanks advanced!

All southern trains running as normal since yesterday. Check the SRT site for updates, http://www.railway.co.th/home/ or call them.

23/11/11 The State Railway of Thailand has also announced the resumption of normal south-bound train services.

The flooding in Bangkok's Bang Bua Thong, Bang Bamru and Taling Chan areas has caused train services to depart from Nakhon Pathom instead of the Hua Lamphong and Thon Buri stations in Bangkok. The situation in those areas had now returned to normal and the SRT had resumed normal services for all south-bound trains starting today, the statement said.

Those who have any questions can contact the SRT's call centre at 1690 around the clock.
