Mr. Yuthana says at the moment, no complaints from passengers are filed against SRT as the organization has given an advance notice to the public already. According to the source, Northern Land Transport Association will file a lawsuit to the SRT union since SRT has recently failed to provide cargo trains to transport crude oil from Kamphaengphet province.
