Tim Garbutt, East Kent MP candidate 2019 said:
"I am delighted the new Thailand-Cambodian railway has been opened by both Prime Ministers.
After 40 years since the destruction of the Khmer Rouge it is one more possible to travel from Bangkok to Phnom Penh.
As a further part of my MP manifesto it's time for the link between Phnom Penh and HCMC to be built connecting ASEAN's main cities and capitals.
Along with Kwai rail upgrades to Yangon, which would be ideal for Hitachi here in East Kent too with its Eurostar and Channel Tunnel and HS1 hispeed rail expertise.
With the first UK Strategic Rail Group gaining the Cairo Metro contract it would be a Great British success, as the inventor of hte railway to deliver on ASEAN and India connectivity.
Thailand as Chair of ASEAN this year and Vietnam next year would also be best-placed to deliver on the HCMC link and through to Hanoi and China. And galvanising the delayed Singapore rail.
Along with 1M UK tourists to Thailand I am looking forward to travelling on the new improved railway."
