BANGKOK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT RAILWAY LINK SUPPOSED OPENING DATE IS DURING YEAR 2009

Suvarnabhumi Airport railway link should open early next year in 2009, this is at least the information spreaded by airport officials.

Bangkok Suvarnabhumi internation airport has opened its door 2 years ago in September 2006 but it still doesn't offer any rail link for passengers to reach their downtown hotels.

Airport official now spead the information that the long-delayed Suvarnabhumi airport railway link project will be completed by the end of this year and that service will start early 2009, but noone knows if this information is reliable as even the project manager might not really know.

Speaking after leading a media tour to observe construction progress, Banjongsak Panthon, project manager and engineer, said the civil engineering portions of the airport railway link project is some 78.5 per cent complete and that the electrical and mechanical portions are about 80 per cent ready.

How stupid are these official to give that kind of information and do they really want to loose face again when evidences will show that they were wrong again?

Official also brag themselves for the progress in the construction of the station and railway system, with Tub Chang Station set to become the first to be completed in July 2008, and now already being 60% complete.

So we can't believe that the entire project will be finished by the end of the year 2008 but 31 electric locomotives which are currently being built in Germany will anyway be brought into Thailand and will have to be tested for three months before opening for service to the public, so as soon you will heard that the construction is finished the rail link will need at least three more months before grand opening.
