If more dangerous incidents occur, such as when a Yellow Line monorail train’s wheel fell down and struck savagely on Tuesday, the Transport Ministry warned on Wednesday that it would punish concessionaires by adding them to its blacklist.
On Tuesday night between Thipphawan and Si Thepha channels, a guidebook vehicle bounced off one of the trains and fell onto the street below. On Tuesday evening, the technician blamed bad ball bearings for the accident.
An initial search revealed the fallen vehicle had been on the right side of the train, according to Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit, who spoke to the internet on Wednesday.
Even though the train had just been purchased, a preservation log indicated that it was constantly checked. Alstom, the company, is now attempting to determine what caused the accident, he said.
The Golden Line rail system’s protection is guaranteed by the Transport Ministry, which will take all necessary steps to avoid any recurrence of incidents.
Before all carriages were put back into company on Wednesday, according to Deputy Transport Minister Surapong Piyachote, the Golden Line operator, Eastern Bangkok Monorail Co., was instructed to conduct thorough safety assessments on every train.
It is still unclear whether the ball joints or steam caused the wheel to fall off. There needs to be a complete investigation. I assume the issue even affects various wheels, so it needs to be looked into, Mr. Surapong said.
Golden Line train wheels had only been in use for about 60, 000 hours, according to the lieutenant transport secretary, who estimated their expected lifespan to be around 300,000 hours.
Before they were put up into service on Wednesday, he gave the order for transportation officials to work with Eastern Bangkok Rail to thoroughly inspect the health of each Golden Line train. Due to this, companies were reduced to every 30 minutes as opposed to the usual 5 to 10 minutes.
The Transport Ministry had ensure utmost assistance safety because today’s company distances are long, according to Mr. Surapong on Wednesday.
On Wednesday evening, Mr. Suriya called EBM members to explain safety precautions.
Between northeast Bangkok and Samut Prakan is the Golden Line gondola.
The carriages were produced in China by CRRC Nanjing Puzhen and Bombardier, two companies based in Canada.
On Tuesday, a vehicle on Thepharak Road in the Samut Prakan state was struck by the Golden Line monorail’s wheel, which travels from Lat Phrao station to Samrong station. Ruamkatanyu Foundation image
