SRT Mahachai Train runs with the doors wide open.

This is a couple of videos showing a SRT commuter train running with the doors wide open.

These trains operate with the carriage doors open on most trains this was taken between Bang Bon and Wat Sing stations. This is due to the doors being damaged at some point.

1. Taken on an SRT train between Bang Bon and Wat Sing stations during the off peak. The doors on both sides where broken.


2. Taken on an SRT train between Wong Wian Yai and Talat Phlu Stations. This train is an early peak hour train so its getting busy now. This train also has a broken door.

I wonder if the OHS morons on western railways would die of shock at this train. This goes out especially for the Australian railways and their over the top safety concerns. As you can see everyone is relaxed and happy on the SRT train.
