The Buri Ram Provincial Court on Thursday ordered the State Railway of Thailand to pay compensation amounting to 14 million baht to relatives of eight schoolchildren and a driver killed in an accident involving a train and a school bus in January this year.

The accident took place on Jan 14 when the train hit the bus at a railway crossing in a municipality of Lam Plai Mat district of Buri Ram province.  Eight schoolchidren of Bamrung Witthaya and Thanthong Witthaya schools and the bus driver were killed and many other people injured.

The SRT was found guilty of recklessness not placing barriers and an official at the crossing where traffic was usually busy, causing deaths and injuries.

It seems unjust to me...........Are Thais not capable of crossing an 'unguarded' railway line.....The trains along there are not travelling at 100 mph!!!!!I think the max speed on the SRT is 100kmph due to the narrow guage.
