State Railway of Thailand to clarify Airport Link train purchase
The Transport Ministry on 17 September ordered the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) to provide a full report on its 4.4-billion-baht purchase of seven trains for the Airport Rail Link project after the agency was accused of procurement fraud.
Deputy Transport Minister Omsin Cheewapreuk asked SRT governor Wuthichart Kalyanamitra for the report amid claims the SRT set the specifications for the procurement to favour Chinese company Changchun Railway Vehicles Co.
