Railways Rush to Inspect Bomb Damage, Plan Quick Repairs
An explosion damaged railway track between Maru Bo and Tan Yong Mas stations; bomb disposal teams will inspect the site before repairs begin, with service expected to resume within three hours of clearance.
State Railways of Thailand reported on August 24 that an explosion occurred at kilometer 1090/6-7 on the railway line between Maru Bo and Tan Yong Mas stations. Bomb disposal and investigative units are scheduled to inspect the site around noon to collect evidence and confirm safety. SRT has already positioned staff, labor, materials, and maintenance equipment near the blast area to begin repairs immediately after clearance. Once the investigation is complete and the area is declared safe, the Tan Yong Mas maintenance branch will require approximately three hours to repair and reinforce the damaged track section to restore safe operation. SRT will closely monitor developments and assess safety conditions before reopening the line, prioritizing passenger and staff safety throughout the process.
