Luung Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Great!.. Just as I was considering putting myself & my bike on the train down to Bangkok!? WTF!!! Quote Link to comment
rxpharm Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Actually this is good news, after having over 13 derailments in less than a month - they had to do something. Now the key is whether the repairs will do any good. Can you imagine the headlines, if the current pet project of Pheu Thai, the high speed train goes ahead? Massive derailment of high speed train kills 300+ people and causes over 100 million baht in damages. Quote Link to comment
