A travel official said on Wednesday that the Golden Line rail system will continue normal operations starting on June 10 after repairs are finished on a damaged wire road.
The repairs come in response to the March 28 accident that caused many vehicles to fall onto a street below the monorail.
Measures have been taken to maintain such accidents do not happen again, said Montri Dechasakulsom, a deputy continuous director for the Ministry of Transport.
Mr. Montri claimed that fresh heat sensors have been installed and are being run to prevent bolts from loosening due to overheating when fastened to the route’s conductor rails, as had previously occurred.
He claimed that the new heat-sensing system’s tests required at least 10 times.
Additionally, Mr. Montri serves on the state commission that regulates the function of the Blue, Yellow, and Pink ranges, for which personal users have received agreements.
The conductor road landed on cars stopped at traffic lights beneath the increased monorail track in northeast Bangkok after soft bolts caused the incident.
Authorities had to shut the line after the incident caused disruption to the metro electronic systems between the Si Udom and Kalantan stations.
The incident caused one of the wires between Hua Mak and Si Iam facilities to be damaged, forcing carriages to go on a single track between the channels. It reopened a day later.
Mr. Montri claimed that the Golden Line has been operating at a lone rate and that cards have been discounted by 20 % since the event. The rail system will resume whole services when the system resumes the regular fare.
The Golden Line operator said he will eventually confirm the date for the resumed normal operations on June 10.
Additionally, he claimed a statement from the council confirmed that security measures have been implemented at all building websites for the Pink Line’s route to Muang Thong Thani.
Two days after the March 28 event, damp- mix cement spilled off a construction site on the increased tracks of the line’s extension, damaging a car and injuring one passenger inside.
Eastern Bangkok Monorail Co. runs the Bright Line, and Northern Bangkok Monorail Co. runs the Pink Line. They are subsidiaries of BSR JV Consortium, a combined walk between three large SET- listed companies: BTS Group Holdings, with a 75 % ownership, Sino- Thai Engineering and Construction, and Ratch Group, a main power producer.
