Dave,

You call your publication a timetable. I would call it 'A Complete Guide to Travelling by Train in Thailand'. You must have spent many hours putting it all together. I certainly have not seen so much information in one place before.

Thanks again for your effort and I hope it is widely available. I wonder if the SRT could put a link on their website.

Cheers,
Charles.

Wow! If those seats could be the new standard-seatings on all 1. and 2.cl carriages....

Just for Second Class Aircon Seat - First Class Always Sleepers with the special compartments - 2 passengers each compartment

2nd class Seat without aircondition is in so bad conditions that it is no reason to spend money on them. SRT should insted rebuild( or invest in brand new ) coaches with only air-condition and the new leather seats. They should be renamed as 1.class, and then it is possible for SRT to rename the existing 3rd class to 2nd class.

Sure, No wonder, SRT engineers in Makkasan are working to convert Second class Non aircon seat/sleeper carriages into Second class aircon seat/aircon carriages due to the demands from the passengers ...

Sadly, Third Class Aircon carriage is not so welcomed by passengers ... I have a hard time to sleep in Third Class Aircon carriage used in Nakhon Srithammaraj Express 85/86 though ....
