Bernstein Fort Worth, Texas, U.S.A. Internet dave@thairailwayguide.net Facebook Privately published Not an official publication of the State Railway of Thailand. The State Railway of Thailand does not issue a system timetable. Travel Warning - Southern Thailand There are almost daily incidents of politically motivated violence in the far south including arson, bombings and shootings. Targets have included civilians and members of the security forces, government offices, tourist hotels, discotheques and bars, shops, marketplaces, supermarkets, schools, transport infrastructure and trains in the provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and in the Sadao district of Songkhla province. Since 2004, over 6,000 people have been killed. Security authorities can detain suspects without charge, censor the media, conduct searches and seize documents. The British Foreign Office and the United States Department of State recommend only essential travel should be made between Hat Yai Junction and Sungai Kolok. Rail travel via Padang Besar has not been subject to attacks and is considered safe.

3 New Developments 3 Test train with new Chinese air conditioned equipment on 29 July 2016 (2559). Express Train Changes The State Railway of Thailand is receiving 115 new air conditioned passenger cars (carriages) manufactured in China. The new equipment will be placed in service beginning October 2016 (2559) and will result in changes to the Special Express and Express trains. Following is a summary of the proposed changes: Northern Line: Special Express Trains 13 and 14 will be discontinued. Special Express Trains 1 and 2 schedules will be changed to operate on the schedule previously used by Trains 13 and 14. New Special Express Trains 9 and 10 will be established between Bangkok and Chiang Mai using new Chinese equipment on the schedule previously used by Trains 1 and 2. Express Trains 51 and 52 will be reequipped with the Japanese (JR West) cars formerly used on Trains 13 and 14. The schedules of Express Trains 51 and 52 and Rapid Trains 107 and 108 will be changed. Northeastern Lines: New Special Express Trains 23 and 24 between Bangkok and Ubon Ratchathani using new Chinese equipment. New Special Express Trains 25 and 26 between Bangkok and Nong Khai using new Chinese equipment. Southern Lines: New Special Express Trains 45 and 46 between Bangkok and Hat Yai Junction using new Chinese equipment. Trains 35 and 36 Special Express Trains 35 and 36 have been discontinued between Padang Besar, Malaysia, and Butterworth, Malaysia. These trains now operated between Bangkok and Padang Besar, Malaysia. MRT Purple Line Mass Transit Authority of Thailand (MRT) Purple Line opened for service on 6 August The electrified rapid transit line serves 16 stations on a 23 km. (16 mile) elevated right of way in Bang Sue, Nonthaburi and Bang Bua Thong. Bang Sue Junction Station Change Due to construction of Bang Sue Grand Central Station, Bang Sue Junction Station 1 has been demolished and all trains now use Bang Sue Junction Station 2 which formerly served only Southern trains.
