^tamago^ SG SMRT has begun retrofitting first generation trains. 001 had the honour of doing its test run today on the NSL (002's 3 cabs have not been touched yet) with Train Run Number (TRN) "001". Seats on every cab will now have the three colours, red, green and blue. The outer two seats will be the original colours, followed by their darker variants for the middle 3 seats. The interior flooring has been re-done and colour scheme changed to white, with tri-poles and 7-seat arrangement for better doorway flow, but more significantly, the exterior of the train is now as-per 3rd generation trains i.e. black colour with thicker red lining.

^tamago^ SG just to add on, the darker variants, orange is actually using brown. wait for my video upload later. here's a preview (old seats pic on black train): note the missing tri-poles, and note the grey handles on top and the box covering the no smoking and no food labels, a trademark of 001/002 and 003/004.
^tamago^ SG yes, but it would be after the video is up. then i will do the snapshots. cos i won't be home that early.
sinicker SG ahhh.. okay goodbye people. i moving to my aunt’s place while my hse undergo renovations. den i go NS on 11 apr. so i wont be online for a long long time…
^tamago^ SG dun worry. it won’t be in service too soon, and we don’t know if other 1G trains will be retrofitted or not.
eX.A.K.R. SG Otherwise, where did you think all the money A$$-M-MATI had been "stealing" from you went to? And that's probably only 1% of all they have taken.
stooper SG Are there still 9 seats between doors? Or have the seats made bigger so only 7 can fit like the 3rd gen trains?
^tamago^ SG i reviewed the video again, 2 seats were removed near the doors on all rows, making it 7 seats. the interior, including doors, as been standardised to bright white as per 3G KHI trains. the colour of the seats is not exactly following a pattern, later u see the video u will noe wat i'm talking about.
muziq bus SG Whats wrong with you idiots?! Still not happy with the fare hike?? SBST did the same what! When buses or trains ugly, you all complain (UDs and MK2s) When buses or trains retrofitted, you all complain..
