Airport Rail Link breaks down for SECOND time in a week

The Airport Rail Link broke down for the second time in a week today, leaving passengers stranded for about an hour.

A track switch failure between Ratchaprarop and Phaya Thai stations resulted in rail operations being suspended around 3.45pm this afternoon, Khaosod English reported.

On Monday a power outage on the Airport Rail Link led to700 commuters being locked inside a train with some fainting due to a lack of oxygen. The passengers were forced to break open the emergency exits to get out before and forced to walk along the rail track to get to the next train.

Transport deputy minister Omsin Chivapruek on Tuesday vowed to investigate and find the Airport Rail Link executives responsible for the incident.
