Laos-Thailand trial train run starts today


(KPL) The Lao National Railway Authority and the State Railway of Thailand will start a trial train run between Nongkhai train station, Thailand, and Vientiane’s Thanaleng train station until 15 July (except weekend).
The Public Works and Transport Office said yesterday the trial was in preparation for the rail transport between Laos and Thailand.
During the trial period, a locomotive with three bogies will run twice a day including Nongkhai-Thanaleng (9:10-9:25) and Thanaleng-Nongkhai (10:05-10:20), and Nongkhai-Thanaleng (16:20-16:35) and Thanaleng-Nongkhai (17:05-17:20).
The construction of the railway from the First Mekong Friendship Bridge to Thanaleng has been completed by the Lao National Railway Authority and the State Railway of Thailand to develop the transport between the two neighbours.
