Yes Battambang is along the Poipet (Thai Border) line. Never tried the bamboo trains but from what I understand it was a very limited area where it was operating. It's still slow. And not completely safe; multiple cases of some dude sleeping on the tracks and the train went over them also there was a derailing. But I guess compared to the crazy regional highway traffic it still is safer. Also a great way to see the countryside.
