Flashermac Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 No need to. The express train just goes first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Bangkok Skytrain on track for December So what's the estimate of the date when it actually is up & running and something we'd all trust to get us there on time? They said December....didn't say which year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 SD - you must have driven past it as much as I do - I haven't seen any passing zones - unless they are using the oncoming track - in which case would you trust Thailand to get that right?

Mekong Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 CTO, Correct, the express trains leave once an hour on the hour, they leave 10 mins gap after the "normal" train then the express goes non stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 So if the epress trains leave on the hour - and you arrive at say 9.30, it's best and quicker to get the "normal" train! I wonder how many people will wait for the express? Only worth getting if you know when it leaves and you get there before it leaves. TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Compare that to KL and Hong Kong - The express trains have the track to themselves. Airport to KL in 21 minutes (70km's?) Hong Kong similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Do you remember the old Nasa Spacedrome discoteque? It was torn down to make way for this station. Cheers, SD what a shame, i have good memories, especially on Christmas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Maybe they'll have disco in the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 With coyote dancers??? :hubba: :hubba: as TIT, maybe the "express train" will take longer than a good old cab, it may be faster than the cab? But in both cases I feel it will be full of tourists, backpackers and the like to be really interesting for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
