The Airport Rail Link disruption began on the evening of yesterday, July 29, after a power failure affected services between Lat Krabang and Ban Thap Chang stations on trains travelling from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Phaya Thai Station.
The Airport Rail Link operator announced on its official Facebook page at 5.17pm that the outage had disrupted the power supply, forcing trains to operate at 15-minute intervals instead of the usual frequency.
The problem continued into the morning of July 30, with free shuttle buses operating every 30 minutes between Makkasan Station and Suvarnabhumi Airport Station.
At about 9.30am, the Airport Rail Link operator announced that normal train services had resumed.
Commuters advised others travelling on the Airport Rail Link, particularly those heading to Suvarnabhumi Airport, to allow additional travel time and monitor updates on the operator’s official Facebook page.
