Southern Railway Line Resumes Operations Following Bombing Repairs
The State Railway of Thailand has reopened the southern rail section between Marubo and Tanyongmas stations after completing repairs to tracks damaged by an explosion.
On August 24, 2026, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) announced the resumption of normal train services on the southern line between Marubo and Tanyongmas stations. This follows the completion of urgent repairs to the track section at kilometer marker 1090/6-7, which had been damaged by an explosion.
According to the SRT, the reopening took place at 6:30 PM on the same day. The restoration process began only after security forces and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams cleared the site and confirmed it was safe for personnel to enter. Railway engineers then worked to restore the track structure to meet standard safety requirements for rail operations. The SRT conducted thorough inspections of the route and safety protocols before authorizing the return of train traffic, prioritizing the well-being of passengers and staff.
For travelers and residents in the area, this restoration means that rail connectivity has been restored to its regular schedule. Passengers are encouraged to monitor the official SRT status portal at https://ttsview.railway.co.th/v3/ or contact the 1690 customer service center for the latest updates on travel plans. While the tracks are now operational, travelers should remain aware of potential schedule adjustments as the network stabilizes. Further details regarding the investigation into the cause of the explosion or potential security measures remain under the purview of local authorities.
