Oran โอม @oranv.com · 09/07/2026One positive I hope to come out from this failure is a rethink on the future of the Makkasan rail factory and yards. It is one of the last large open spaces in the center of Bangkok. web.archive.org/web/20211214... 120
Oran โอม @oranv.com · 09/07/2026Meanwhile, infrastructure & development page LivingPop crayoned an alternative project. Repurpose the ARL as the eastern leg of the Red Line system, creating an east-west cross-Bangkok line. Double track and electrify the SRT East Line with local and express services. m.facebook.com/story.php?st... 220
Smudgy Shep @smudgershepherd.bsky.social · 10/07/2026That's what I've been thinking. Just consolidate the existing ARL into the Red Line. Regauge it and hand back operation to SRTET. It's just simpler. As for VTBS to VTBU I think it still needs to be grade separated. There are already so many freight trains on that line like 1 every 15 minutes or so 010

It doesn’t intend to walk away but multiple issues (transfer of property, legal & financial challenges, competing projects, economic climate) require cooperation of the public sector to resolve.prachatai.comกลุ่มซีพีแจงไม่มีเจตนายกเลิกสัญญาโครงการไฮสปีด 3 สนามบิน | ประชาไทโครงการรถไฟฟ้าความเร็วสูงเชื่อม 3 สนามบิน 011
