SRT denies rumors of southern rail tracks closure to prevent protester joining PDRC

[smutcakes]

one would have thought they would be more discreet, lop a few carriages off the train length and say booked out. mostly trains south are book out in advance very frequently so just cutting a few carriages would go unnoticed

Doesn't work, because the southern railway staff are southern people and the last time, they just let everyone till the train was complete full.....for free.

By the way they block the cars coming from the south. Friend called, they are stuck in Chumphon in a who know how long traffic jam.

Why lie?

Demonstrators should know that by now. TRT and all the TRT offspring parties, always pulled the same crap, to keep demonstrators from reaching Bangkok. That and roadblocks, long searches and hours of back up traffic, spikes on the Southern Highways, etc. If I was Khun Suthep and his advisers, I would have asked the demonstrators to be there a few days early. They had enough warning and time to get there. Why wait for the last minute?

Oh well, there will be enough support from Bangkok, to make this happen, until the others finally arrive.

Yep, cuz there wasn't a similar effort to prevent red shirts coming to BKK in 2010... definitely road blocks and searches anyway. The spikes thing was low if it was the govt, I agree.

Yep, definitely roadblocks, red-shirts searching through cars, blocking troop movements, accompanying troop trains to make sure they really passed Bangkok towards down South, etc., etc.

Yep, that all came later. We're talking about the relative actions of the governments in charge. Road blocks were set up in March 2010 by police and military and red shirt vehicles were randomly stopped and searched.

Yep, from end of February 201 when a court ruled to confiscate 42 billion of blocked Thaksin S. assets. When the 'bring a bottle, we'll fill them here' crowd was upset with the way a 'poor' chap was treated and just dropping grenades on non-red-shirts was seen as insufficient.
