BANGKOK, Mar 25, 2011 - (ACN Newswire) - Marcus Evans will be presenting the Modern Railways Conference to be held in Bangkok, Thailand on the 23 25 May 2011. It will be a one-stop platform to discuss the future of rail infrastructure, including planning, expansion, execution, project funding, day-to-day operations, round-the-clock maintenance, station management, civil & construction works, power & electrification, track modernisation, cutting-edge technologies of signalling, rolling stocks and other pertinent case studies in modern railways.
The three days agenda includes a choice of three streams over two days. The streams are Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) I & II, Light Rail Transit (LRT) I & II and Mainline I & II.
Staying on top of rapid developments in High Speed Rail, 'Modern Railways' conference features an exclusive High Speed Rail Day on the third day - 25th May 2011 to examine the challenges & solutions, cost & benefits, while assessing the viable funding models & technological requirements to make High Speed Rail a reality.
The world railway industry has enjoyed a period of strong growth, partly thanks to rising demand for new infrastructure from emerging markets but also due to broader global economic growth. Factors such as high fuel costs for road and air transport, coupled with the more environmentally-friendly nature of rail transport have prompted a change in consumer travel habits.
