Re: Phnom Penh: Airport trains to be ready by Khmer New Year
Question: there's a huge new airport coming in Takhmao, right?
So what happens to this system when the new one is operational?

The new one at Takhmau will only be used for spaceships flying directly to the moon ,,,, when it is finished.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Took 50 minutes from airport to train station, probably could have walked there faster. Carriage was clean and had air-con, 1 toilet, no drinks sellers so have to take your own beer. Waiting room was clean and has air-con, it's just on the other side of the Nhyam food court. Not running every 20 mins as reported in the media, but approximately every 2 hrs, schedule will change once new engines arrive and will be only a 20 minute journey apparently.

Phnom Penh airport train vexes residents
27 April 2018
The residents of Street 105K can hear the train before they see it – a low rumble, a blaring horn, an incessant whistle.
Motorists swerve out of the way, parting like a school of fish. Children scamper to the side. A railway employee, sitting on a plastic stool at the front of the train, blows furiously on a whistle, waving people out of the way with a walkie-talkie.
Residents in Por Senchey district’s Kakab commune have fought against this railroad ever since it was announced last year, some burning tyres in protest.
After halting the project temporarily, officials reopened construction. Now, two weeks after its official launch, residents say the Royal Railways train – which runs twice an hour, day and night, shuttling people between the airport and the city – is no more welcome.
“I have no words,” said one woman, a proprietor at a small mechanical shop, who declined to give her name. “We can’t seem to win over them. It runs 24 hours a day. It shakes the ground.”
As the train pulled into view, blaring its horn loudly, she glared. “We have protested since before they started this project,” she said. “Now that it’s already built, you want to interview me. Will it make a difference?”

Re: Phnom Penh: Airport trains to be ready by Khmer New Year
I love the way some locals move right next to a redundant railway line and then complain when it opens up again. What the hell do they expect?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Phnom Penh: Airport trains to be ready by Khmer New Year
They're complaining about the new line running down the middle of Street 105k. I don't think anyone envisaged that ever happening.John Bingham wrote: ↑Sat Apr 28, 2018 12:19 am I love the way some locals move right next to a redundant railway line and then complain when it opens up again.

Here are some recent pics of the actual station in the airport perimeter along Russian Bd
Plus if you're wondering how it goes from the airport to the tracks on the other side of Russian Bd
I wonder when the first accidents involving trucks or buses will be reported, it's bound to happen. There's no gate nor warning sign except the train's loud horn.

They could duplicate the DMZ in Korea and some cretins would still drive across the tracks in front of the train.
