EHICLE MODERNIZATION ON STATE RAILWAY OF THAILAND
The financial performance of State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has been
deteriorating for several years resulting in mounting long term debts. SRT has been trying
to persuade the government to restructure the railway and put it on a more sound financial
footing. One of the problems to be solved by State Railway of Thailand is to improve
passenger service through modernizing its wagon fleet.
About 480 passenger coaches are being painted in a new livery. They are also being
repainted inside, and fitted with new seats and toilets. 103 third-class coaches will be
equipped with air-conditioning, and some of the coaches will also be upgraded. State
Railway of Thailand (SRT) would like to acquire new trains, but as it does not have the
capital, it is investigating leasing.
