Train between Cambodia and Thailand starts

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Train between Cambodia and Thailand starts

Post by phuketrichard »

for now only goods but ......
Royal Railway Plc, a division of the Royal Group of Cambodia, has successfully initiated its first rail link operations from Thailand. The operation, which involved the transportation of commercial goods to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, marks a significant milestone in regional trade and logistics.

The successful establishment and operation of this rail link signify potential for future operations. Royal Railway officials have hinted at possible extensions of the rail link to Laos and Vietnam. Additionally, the company is considering offering passenger services in the future, further expanding its portfolio and reach.

It's a start but, trust me, freight services were imminent about 6 years ago and there is still not a real agreement or process in place for this. I do sort of feel sorry for the Aussie guy in charge.

Would be nice I enjoyed the reunification railway :} My Dad was a rail planner for british rail and due to staff discounts and family cards I could travel widely and very cheaply.

I do like a good train https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North%E2% ... th_railway
