The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is suspending the controversial change of nameplate for Bang Sue Grand Station while a probe is pending. That's a welcome development, but it's not enough.
Given the public outrage over what is seen to be an overly expensive project, a probe into the 33-million-baht contract, which involves the installation of 48 three-metre-tall Thai letters, 62 English characters and two SRT logos, was inevitable. Initially, the project was supposed to begin on Jan 3.
