Training day: Members of the media check out a test run of electric trains on the missing link between the Purple Line’s Tao Poon and the Blue Line’s Bang Sue stations. According to the initial concept, the 21.5 Brown Line will connect six other lines, currently being built or prepared for construction. Of these six routes, only part of the Purple Line has been opened so far. The Brown Line is expected to run on a light rail system with relatively "light" passenger capacity when compared with the Purple Line and Blue Line subway, which connects Hua Lamphong and Bang Sue. Participants in a recent seminar on the Brown Line project opposed the expressway idea.
