Bangkok rail link problems

BANGKOK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (BKK), very late in opening, and then suffering political strife, has more problems.  The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is delaying the introduction of its airport rail link after it found the developer Siemens would be unable to finish the railway on time.  According to the Bangkok Post SRT planned to start services next month.  The 18 miles (28.6k) long standard gauge track to the city will reduce the journey time to around 15 minutes.  Also known as Suvarnabhumi, the airport replaced Don Muang which is now largely redundant with only Nok Air and One-Two-Go operating domestic flights. www.bangkokairportonline.com
