State Railway of Thailand Suspends 17 Services Due to Flooding
The State Railway of Thailand has suspended 17 train services on Northern and Eastern lines following track flooding near Hua Ngio station.
On September 26, 2026, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) announced the suspension of 17 train services across its Northern and Eastern lines. The disruption follows flooding that submerged tracks by approximately 15 centimeters near the Hua Ngio station area (specifically between Nong Pho and Noen Makok stations). As a safety precaution, the SRT closed this section of the track starting at 10:50 AM.
For travelers and residents, this disruption necessitates significant changes to travel plans. The SRT has implemented a transfer system for affected passengers. For instance, passengers on Rapid Train 111 (Krung Thep Aphiwat–Den Chai) are being transferred by road between Ban Takhli and Nakhon Sawan stations to continue their journey. Similar arrangements are in place for the return service, Rapid Train 112.
These adjustments are intended to ensure passenger safety while the tracks remain impassable. Travelers currently holding tickets for these routes are advised to contact the SRT directly or check official updates for the latest information on service restoration. It remains to be confirmed how long the water levels will persist and when normal operations will resume on the affected sections. Passengers should anticipate potential delays and check for further announcements regarding the remaining affected train services.
