The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has announced the suspension of six additional train services on the Eastern Line as floodwaters have risen above the tracks.
According to a report by Matichon Online on September 27, 2026, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has officially suspended six additional train services operating on the Eastern Line.
