Integration of SRT Red Line and ARL

[jpatokal]

So I'm a bit confused by the SRT Red Line plans for Bang Sue-Hualamphong/Makkasan: is the plan to connect the new line to the current ARL corridor, or build an entirely separate set of tracks duplicating Phayathai-Makkasan?

The later. All rather confusing and silly but it will be a duplicate narrow gauge line with its own stations running adjacent to the airport line. There are a couple of renders in one of the threads.

Not quite since Airpoirt Link has omitted some station out of the list which Red line commuter (Eastern line) would cover ... with intention to head into Chacheongsao to (almost) replace the existing BKK - Chacheognsao commuter, suitable for those who don't want to head into Suvannabhum

Since it will be run by SRT Electric Train Co.Ltd., the free interchange will be implement alogn with the new ticket rates to facilitate the movement.
