The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is launching a new feeder train service between Lat Krabang station on the Airport Rail Link and Phra Chom Klao train stop from January 3.
In the pilot phase, which will last three months, the train will run 22 return trips per day from Monday to Friday, with fare set at 10 baht per person, SRT public relations centre director Ekarat Sriarayanphong said on Tuesday.
The first train will leave Lat Krabang station at 7.10am while the last train will arrive at Phra Chom Klao at 8pm.
