Based on the small print, this seems to be only a glorified single-day trial run -- they've announced that the ticket sale/lottery for these rides starts on Oct 1st, which presumably means you can't even get on board unless you're local and manage to swing one of these.
I am guessing that the 50THB non-express may be the more frequent/convenient service? Not very clever if you ask me.
I'm guessing the commuter train won't even run on Dec 5th.
And oh,
maskedavenger, since you asked about "abject terror", I've had a taxi blow a tire at 160 kph on the old Don Muang (Uttaraphimuk) tollway. Fortunately, the cabbie managed to bring the car under control and exit the highway gracefully, but the end result could have been much worse...
and this is one reason why I'll be patronizing the airport link whenever I can.
