State Railway given one month to finish Airport Rail Link plan
October 24th, 2007The state railway has been given one more month to complete its plan for the operation of the Bangkok Airport Rail Link so it can begin running on schedule. Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongcha-um said the railway linking Suvarnabhumi airport and Makkasan in the inner city was due to open late next year.
However, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) still did not have a concrete plan for its operation or for establishing the entity to run the system.
Setting up the operating body and training staff to run the service would all take time, and there was not much time remaining, he said.
