Free shuttles to link Hua Lamphong to new terminal

Recommended Posts

From Coconuts Bangkok

Free shuttles linking Bangkok’s downtown rail terminal to the capital’s new main station will commence Thursday.

To ease the transition of rail services from the Bangkok Railway Station to the Krung Thep Apiwat Grand Station – located about 10 kilometers away – regular buses will shuttle travelers between them. 

Thursday is when nearly half of the trains operating out of the former station (aka Hua Lamphong and actually a terminal) will move to the new national “terminal” (actually a station) in Bangkok’s Bang Sue district.

Blue NGV buses will travel between the two stations every half hour between 4:30am and 11pm. 

So, where to find the bus? As of 5pm on Tuesday, a BMTA rep said that they hadn’t figured that out yet.

The service will be run jointly by the bus operator Bangkok Mass Transit Authority and the state railway.

The Thaiger repots that opening of Bangkok‘s new central train station Bangkok Aphiwat Central Station did not go so smoothly yesterday with the first service to Chiang Mai departing three hours later than scheduled and many more delayed services. BBC Thai and CH7 report that services were delayed to await the arrival of Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob, who was rather late to an opening ceremony he presided over, according to netizens.
