The line was originally planned as a bypass route passing through Ang Thong Province and crossing the Chao Phraya River to connect with the Northern and Northeastern Lines at Ban Phachi Junction, but construction was halted before it reached that point. [2]
Only one train runs daily on this route. It departs Bangkok at 4:40 p.m. and arrives in Suphan Buri at 7:40 p.m. The return trip leaves Suphan Buri at 4:40 a.m. and reaches Bangkok at 8:10 a.m. [3]
