Test run successful
On January 17, 2009, both the traction substation and the 25 kV overhead con-tact line for approx. 80 % of the line were switched on successfully within just a single day. One day later, on January 18, 2009, the Siemens trains that had been delivered a year before completed their fi rst test runs. These test runs were car-ried out over a distance of 25 km, from the Depot to Suvarnabhumi Station directly at the airport. After starting at a slow speed and then gradually accelerating in stages, the train was able to reach its maximum speed of 160 km/h on one section of the line on the very same day.
Completion
The Airport Rail Link is scheduled for com-pletion end of 2009.
Express Line and City Line
Most of the line is elevated, with just under one kilometer underground. On the 25.7 kilometer route, the Suvarnabhumi Airport Express connects the Suvarnab-humi airport to the city without any stops in between.
The Suvarnabhumi Airport City Line, which runs on the same tracks, is 28.5 kilometers long and extends further into the inner city. It has six scheduled stops and ends at Phaya Thai Station, where passengers can transfer to the Bangkok Skytrain.
