If that's the case, all trains will not call at RFP? cool! Very Happy

Airbus330Captain SG

Hmmm ,thats the first time they are doing an exercise right?

The_Bus_Guide SG

Nope. An exercise was done at Braddell Station before. Trains did not stop at the station for the duration of the excercise. Some underground stations double-up as SCDF shelters, hence an excercise is needed once in a while for the SCDF MRT Shelter Companies.

Marina Bay service can have a frequency of 1 hour Mr. Green . I expect TIBS buses to be used for this service.

If that's the case, keep a lookout of the buses used if you're in the area there and then Smile

SBS9818A SG

Ya, exercise for the ants and the dust and the bugs ah? Mr. Green

The_Bus_Guide SG

For Woodleigh, not only must they do an exersice but they must also exorcise the place. Who knows what lurks there?

SBS9818A SG

It should be safe in the day. Mr. Green

SBS9818A SG

As I prediced the Marina South service is using a solitary TIB 435L. Other services are using Habits.

Pls lah, don’t say that Woodleigh station has hantus! In fact within 8 years HDB flats would be built on the Cemetary and the Creatorium. Who knows we might be staying there in the future?

xin1jun2 SG

maybe ghosts.... Confused

off_service SG

Eh.. Hantu = ghost

Superbus SG

With Woodleigh NEL Station opening, I expect readers to contribute their ghost stories to TSGS Part 13(?) about hauntings of the station. By then, people would have forgotten that Bishan & Novena was once the most haunted MRT stations in Singapore.

Cheers and warm regards

SBS9818A SG

Yes, very soon people will forget my hometown was once a cemetery. Mr. Green
