On Saturday Germany’s railway stations were frequented by more travelers than usual: a few days ago a new low-fare ticket was launched by a state initiative. Local trains and public transport can be used across the country for the ticket price of nine Euros per month.

Nakhon Ratchasima governor Wichien Chantaranothai's has received some local support for his ongoing bid to raise funds to buy and conserve 10 picturesque old railway stations along the Chira Road-Khon Kaen route, which are earmarked for demolition.
