State Railway of Thailand Adjusts Eastern Line Schedule Due to Flooding

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has officially announced that it will modify the operations of six train services on the Eastern Line for two days, from October 1 to October 2, 2026. According to the Thailand Government Public Relations Department, this decision was made as a direct response to persistent flooding in the region, which has necessitated adjustments to ensure operational safety and reliability.

For residents and travelers planning to use the rail network in the eastern provinces during this period, these changes may result in delays or altered arrival and departure times. The SRT is managing these adjustments to accommodate the current environmental conditions while maintaining service continuity where possible.

At this time, passengers are advised to monitor official SRT communication channels for specific details regarding the affected train numbers and updated schedules. It remains to be confirmed how long these disruptions will persist beyond October 2, as the situation depends on the receding of floodwaters. Travelers with existing bookings are encouraged to contact the SRT customer service center or check the official website before heading to the station to avoid potential inconvenience.
