Rail crossing upgrades

[STEVE G]

I just happened to be crossing the tracks at the main crossing in the centre of town early yesterday evening and I looked up the tracks to the north and there were people wandering about all over the lines, there even seemed to be a food stall opperating there. Normally I go out later when it's dark so have never noticed the trackside living that seems to go on there.

I wouldn't take any rural train here if my life depended upon it.....and in reality my life probably depends upon not taking one!

Although I agree with all the comments about the non-safety of the train network here, despite all that, statistically it's still the safest form of travel in Thailand (not including air travel). That says a lot about other forms of transport....... Only in Thailand!

I have a morbid fear of level crossings, even in the UK, so you can imagine what I'm like here.

Whenever I cross the lines in daylight hours, I'm checking back and forth and there are always people wandering up and down. At dusk, most of them are carrying torches.

You've seen this, presumably :
