State Railway of Thailand Adjusts Northern Line Services Due to Flooding
The State Railway of Thailand has modified Northern Line operations following flooding at the Hua Ngiu station area, resulting in service suspensions and bus transfers.
The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) announced on September 26, 2026, that it has adjusted its Northern Line train services due to flooding that has submerged the tracks near Hua Ngiu station.
Impact on Travel
To manage the disruption, the SRT is implementing a bus transfer system for passengers traveling through the affected sections. Additionally, the railway has suspended nine long-distance train services originating from their starting points, effective immediately. These measures are intended to ensure passenger safety and operational continuity while the tracks remain impassable.
What This Means for You
If you are planning to travel by train to or from Northern Thailand, expect significant delays and potential changes to your itinerary. Passengers are advised to check their travel status directly with the SRT before heading to the station, as the situation remains fluid.
Status of Operations
While the SRT is actively managing the situation, the duration of these service adjustments has not been specified. Travelers should monitor official announcements from the Thailand Government Public Relations Department or the SRT for updates regarding when normal operations might resume. It remains to be confirmed how long the floodwaters will persist and when the tracks will be cleared for safe passage.
