Thailand Train Service Back to Operation

Six southern train servcies have resumed operation on Sunday, according to the southern railway centre.

They include trains no. 255 and 177 from Thon Buri to Lang Suan, trains no. 254 and 178 from Lang Suan to Thon Buri, train no. 490 from Surat Thani to Khirirat Nikhom and train no. 489 from Khirirat Nikhom to Surat Thani.

However, the terminal station of Thonburi to Lang Suan line will be Prachuap Khiri Khan station, not Lang Suan station in Chumphon province.

In the meantime, other southern rail lines such as Bangkok - Sungai Kolok, Hat Yai – Chumphon and Hat Yai - Sungai Kolok are still closed for 10 consecutive days. Only security personnel are present at many southern railway stations.

The chairman of the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) labour union in Hat Yai, Supichet Suwannachatri, said his union would have to wait for the resolution from the SRT labour union before all the southern rail service can operate normally.

Many SRT workers have gone on strike to support anti-government protests led by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) since last week. - Bangkok Post
