The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has launched its new "SRT BANGKOK CONNEX" train service, connecting Bang Sue Grand Station (Krung Thep Aphiwat) to the historic city of Ayutthaya. The service saw a strong turnout on its opening day, with expectations to attract approximately 1,000 passengers daily. This new rail route aims to enhance the transportation network in Thailand's metropolitan area and improve accessibility to Ayutthaya, a significant historical tourist destination. Bang Sue Grand Station is strengthening its role as a hub for Thailand's railway network, and this new service is anticipated to further bolster its functions.
