Hopewell Project Links

April 16, 2001 -> www.bangkok-21.de - a study considering the future feasibility of the Hopewell Project
The State Railway of Thailand (SRT - controls the land on which the Hopewell project was to be built) has posted their explanation of the breakdown of the project. There is also an interesting list of other SRT projects.
Hopewell & Siemens - at one time the last "official" page on the project - it has since been removed, but there is still lots of info on other Siemens projects
Thais Revisit a Troubled Mass-Transit Project - the article quoted above Note: the IHT site is slow and often times out
The New Guangzhou Beltway - another problematic Hopewell project from 1996 - the problems seem similar to what happened to Hopewell in Bangkok
Financing the "Mega" Projects - where the money came from for Bangkok's three major mass-transportation projects
Metro Planet: Bangkok - an overview of Bangkok mass transit projects with a useful map
Railway Technology.com - Bangkok Public Transit - a good overview of what's being done in town
Bangkok Post Archives - Search for the latest articles on the Hopewell Project. Note: you will have to click on the magnifying glass on the first page, and then on the magnifying glass on the next page (even though it does not seem like a link).
Railway Technology Web Pages - The website of Piers Connor, who did design work on the BTS Skytrain. Want to know how a commuter train service is planned? How air-brakes on trains work? Need links to other railway technical sites? You'll find it all here.
