Security tight as southern train service resumes

Heavy security has been imposed to protect the Yala to Sungai-Kolok train service, which resumed operation Wednesday after three people were killed and 35 were injured in an insurgent attack last weekend in Narathiwat's Rue Soh district.

 

Thanongsak Pongprasert, deputy director of the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), said officials took three days to repair the carriages from the No 435 train and railway tracks damaged by a buried bomb detonated by insurgents on Sunday while the train was travelling between Rue Soh and Laloh stations.
