A newly renovated Airport Rail Link train is put on display as Deputy Transport Minister Ormsin Chivapruck presides over a ceremony to launch it yesterday. Train speeds will increase from 120 to 140 kilometres an hour to make travel faster, Mr Ormsin said. At present, there are a total of nine trains -- four Express Line and five City Line -- in service. Their operator, SRT Electrified Train Co, decided it would upgrade and convert the four Express Line trains into City Line trains to serve more passengers who rarely use the Express Line. It is drafting the terms of reference and is expected to call bidding early next year, Mr Ormsin added.
