KTM out to upgrade services and create higher standards
By EDWARD R. HENRY Friday April 13, 2012
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.as...00&sec=central

KERETAPI Tanah Melayu (KTM) Berhad president Dr Aminuddin Adnan has pledged to increase the Komuter train frequency, reduce crowding, create safer coaches with auxilliary police force presence and even have an express train service for certain destinations.

“We are on a quest to create higher standards that are consistent with train stations in progressive nations. Our aim is to increase the frequency of train services from every 30 minutes to just 10. Our plans are unfolding in stages.

“Now, we have 11 sets of six-car electric trains from Shanghai, China, that are running well.

“This is part of the 38 new sets of trains for KTM Komuter, which is funded by the Government Transformation Programme’s (GTP) Urban Public Transport National Key Results Area (NKRA),” he said.

Dr Aminuddin said the NKRA initiative would improve the quality of the service.

He said KTM was also studying the possibility of introducing an express service from Port Klang to KL Sentral if there was demand. “For example, the all-women coaches received good support with 60% female.

“At the moment we are working out the time frame where by June we would be able to achieve the 10-minute target once we receive all the trains,” he said after accompanying Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin on a Komuter train ride.

Nong Chik boarded the Komuter train at the Pantai Dalam station and alighted at the Bank Negara station and walked to his office in Jalan Raja Laut.

“People using the trains are happy that the new six-car coaches from China have helped to reduce crowding.

“When all the new trains hit the track, waiting time will be reduced from half an hour to just 10 minutes and this will encourage more people to use the Komuter,” he said.

Nong Chik said the additional coaches had improved service.

“The trains will reduce overcrowding in KTM trains along the popular routes and our aim is to reduce the number of cars coming into the city, thus cutting down on carbon footprint,” he said.

*****************************************************************

Today the MRT Pink line (Kaerai - Minburi) is revealed to be a monorail instead of a heavyrail.

The new monorail system has a total distance of 34.5 km and will get 6 more stations added to the line. The line will be up for bidding this year october-december. Construction will take 4 years, and it will be in service in 2017, 2 years earlier than the initial plan. Once finished, it is expected that 300.000 people will use this line everyday.









*****************************************************************

The detailed design for the MRT Orange line (Thailand Cultural Center - Bangkapi - Minburi) is to be finished and up for bidding this year also.

Thailand High Speed Train - Counting Down to 2013

BANGKOK, 26 April 2012: The Ministry of Transport hopes to set up a supervisory committee on high-speed train development led by Prime Minister Yingluck who will act as its chairperson.

She has promised to fast track decisions a declaration that might add an element of speed to a project that has almost ground to a halt.

The ministry vows that at least one high-speed train line will open before the current government’s terms ends in about three and a half years.

Based on country’s railway developments in the past that is an optimistic time-frame, one that critics will say is almost impossible to meet.

China and Japan are both interested in the first project but details of the investment, work plan and technical assistance involved have still be negotiated. Based on past rail projects the initial negotiations before any work begins on the line could take two years to complete. Also having two countries work on the projects could complicate matters.

Transport Minister Jarupong Ruangsuwan said a supervisory committee on a high-speed train development will be formed first.

Apart from the Prime Minister as its chairperson it will involve the Ministry of Transport director general as a secretary together with representatives from the State Railway of Thailand and the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning.

There will be five sub-committees on the following subjects: Drafting the framework of the country’s requirements; technical specifications and engineering; finance and investment; Added value projects and system operational management.

As for international partners, Japan has conducted a study, while China signed a Memorandum of Understanding and plans its own study in three months.

“The PM was very impressed with the efficiency of the high speed train system of the two countries, during her recent visit. Therefore she wants the project to speed up so it can be an important link at ASEAN level adding weight to Thailand’s gateway status to southwest China, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia and Singapore.”

There are four planned high-speed train routes: Bangkok- Phitsanulok-Chiang Mai, 745 km, worth Bt229 billion; Bangkok-Nakhon Ratchasima-Nong Khai, 615 km, worth Bt201.45 billion; Bangkok-Pattaya-Rayong, 221 km, worth Bt72.27 billion (extension from the Airport Link line) and Bangkok-Hua Hin-Padang Besar, 982 km, worth Bt297.88 billion.

Deputy Transport Minister, Chatchart Sittipan, said most likely the first line would be go to the north or northeast. However, construction costs would be lower to the northeast as the route is straight and pretty flat (after a steep climb near Saraburi and Muak Lek up to the plateau and to the region’s gateway town of Nakhon Ratchashim).

He noted the terrain was tougher on the northern route that includes the country’s longest tunnel located near Lampang.
