Train service to South partly resumes today

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The State Railways of Thailand today partly resumed train services to the flood-stricken southern provinces after the damaged rail section in Bang Saphan district of Prachuap Khiri Khan was completely repaired.

 

However all south-bound trains from Bangkok could only run to Thung Song railway station in Nakhon Si Thammarat after all were stranded at Hua Hin and Prachuap Khiri Khan stations following the damage of the track by flashflood in Bang Saphan district early this week.

 

The SRT said the damaged section of the rail line between Bang Saphan Yai and Chamuang was restored back to normal last night, and south-bound train service has resumed partly.

 

Departure trips from Bangkok are:

 

1. Train No 43 (Bangkok- Surat Thani).
2. Train No 261 (Bangkok-Hua Hin.
3. Train No 171 (Bangkok-Sungai Kolok)
4. Train No 255 (Thonburi-Lang Suan).

Maybe it's leaning like that because it's going round a curve ......  

Thailand has a ways to go to restore a decent train system.

Quick Somchai, hide the Sellotape!

Nothing a few pebbles can fix.. Sod the stability of the track after the torrents washed away most of the soil beneath it. :>
