THAILAND: The first of 21 three-car metro trainsets being built by East Japan Railway’s J-TREC business for Bangkok’s Purple Line was shipped from Yokohama on September 7.

The entire fleet is scheduled to arrive in Thailand by January, and revenue services on the 23 km Purple Line running from Bang Yai to Bang Sue with 16 stations are now expected to begin in August 2016.
