Kantang Railway Station in Trang province is among those at risk of being lost despite its heritage value. About 200 of the 443 stations nationwide are worth preserving but most of these are at risk, said the scholar, who has been campaigning to save old railways stations for the past two years. But the Fine Arts Department, as a state agency responsible for safeguarding national heritage, must do more and look into how it can preserve the doomed stations, he said. However, he said such requests should have been made before the new project was fully designed, with a special budget reserved for the old stations. However, the SRT may be able to save a few stations, he said.
