farangconnection Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Does anyone know the answer. A customer e-mailed me to say he is on the train 69 to Surin next thursday. The train 69 does not go to Surin, but to Nong Kai. The 67 goes to Surin. Both though, do go to Nakon Ratchisima (korat) Is this the same train, that splits at Korat, the 69 heading North and the 67 heading East. This happes a lot in UK, but I've never heard of it happening here. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) According to this schedule train 69 is an Express which passes Surin but is not scheduled to stop there. Train 67 looks to be more like a Local and does make a stop at Surin. It would probably be best to re-verify the schedules... State Railway of Thailand 1 Rongmuang Road, Rongmuang, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330 Tel : 0-2222-0175, 0-2621-8701, 0-2220-4567 E-mail : [email protected] and then inform your customer to take the appropriate train. They depart within 15 min. of each other. Train 67 ends at Ubon Ratchathani. Train 69 goes all the way to Nong Khai.

One goes north at the junction, the other east. I was wondering is both start off as the same train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my friend I Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Train 69 does not go to Surin or Korat, Train 67 goes via Korat to Surin. They are separate trains. If u can get to a train station they should have a paper timetable that is clearer & has more detail of the route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
