The railway link between PP and Poipet is ready. The 386 km stretch has not been functional during the last 45 years due to damages in war areas.
But it is repaired now and the first train traveled from Poipet to PP last Wednesday, July 4, 2018.
It will be a major connection between the two countries Cambodia and Thailand, saving costs and time for freight transport. Of course also passengers can benefit from the new connection.
Don't think of fast modern train travel. The average speed is 40 km/h, which makes it a 10-hour ride.
Operation of the line will be decided this week, as both countries will talk about reconstruction and expansion of railway stations, specifically the border stations.
