NCPO still considers double track railway project: Prayuth

Junta chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha said Friday night the National Council for Peace and Order was still in the process of studying the double track railway project in details.

He said the NCPO was still deciding whether it should link with other countries, especially China. Also, the width of the track and its ability to carry trains at the speed of 160 to 180 kilometres per hour would also be taken into account. The existing railway lines in the country are merely a metre wide, allowing for trains to only go at 90km per hour.
