when did i ever said wat description of a boy??

Which one is most direct route if i from Braddell wanted to go to Lakeside?

1) Braddell > Jurong East via Woodlands > Lakeside
2) Braddell > Jurong East via Raffles Place > Lakeside

I think number two sounds better..

I would personally take #1. It's a long journey, and I'm sure you'll want a seat. It's much easier to get one on the NSL after Yishun or so, while almost impossible to get one on the EWL until Jurong East, and by that time, what's the point? But there really isn't much difference.

lol i don't mind got seat or no seat... i mostly in the train stand by the door.. got seat or no seat, long journey or shrt journey... still i need direct...

They're both long journeys either way. Go via transfer at Raffles Place then.

I got a question:

If a train do overnight parking @ overrun, such as @ Pasir Ris, then will there be a TO in that train, and does the TO walk to tracks to return PSR or just left the train "to die"? How the train return to depot / service in next day? Will a TO go all the way to overrun and drive the train?

I got a question:

For EWL/NSL trains don't do overnight parking on overrun tracks.

smrt3099 SG

IF they park at overrun tracks, one thing you all need to think of?

Can the TO get off??

Tident SG

Brake off LOCAL - means the break is released and local refers to the carriage

Brake on Local - means the break is activated and local refers to the carriage

Thanks pals, would u mind advising what the other indicators (prob 6-8?, sorry can't recall all the "titles" on them), and the 2 meters, at the same location represent, please. Coz when i'm riding in the carriage, it's interesting to see them turn on & off.

Dragonaxe SG

I'm not sure. Only some

Power on - As long the train is operating, it will always be litted

???????? - Accelerating, not litted means "coasting"

Air-con Fault - If air-con spoil, light will lit

Brake fault - Brake need to be recharged/resetted

For EWL/NSL trains don't do overnight parking on overrun tracks.

Oh, so you mean that for EWL/NSL, only if a train is faulty, they might be sent to overrun tracks and they will return to depot on the very same day?

If it is peak hours. During off-peak hours. A DNB train will tow the faulty train back to depot.

Yea. Then after train service ends a train (could be a normal train or maintenance train) will pull it out and send it back to depot.

If not you will see

Air-con Fault - If air-con spoil, light will lit

Brake fault - Brake need to be recharged/resetted

Acceleration Current - On when train accelerates
Braking Current - On when train using motor brakes
Brake On LOCAL - On when speed limiter is on or when train using friction brakes
Brake Off LOCAL - On when speed limiter is off
Power On - On when the motors are on
Power FAULT - On when motors in for that car is faulty
Line Volt - On when train is in contact with 3rd rail

1. No, but the tracks do
2. Why is it bad? It works pretty well.

1. Then how do the trains get protected against lightning?

2. I didn't say it was bad. Do all cabins run at same power?

Using this configuration, there is additional load on the second carriage.

And so, when it rains and the tracks are "slippery", the train "slips".(Mainly happens on C151)

Call4ljw SG

What's the difference between friction brakes and motor brakes?

what is the speed limiter?

Are there any "hand brakes" for trains?

Motor brakes stop the train by reversing the motor. When the speed goes low enough it switches to friction brake.

Hand brakes? Emergency brake lorh.

1. Like a car.

2. Each car takes in power from the third rail. Low voltage control signals are sent from cab to each cars.

sean29 SG

Always wonder, we always see flashing/blinking lights at the end of the station near the train driver when he stops the train.

What does those flashing lights mean? and the front of the train has a single yellow light too, what is it for?

yellowflip999 SG

Front of the train: If that yellow light is litted up, it means that the train is operating in "CM". If it's litted up, and also blinking, it means that the train is operating in "RM", if it isn't on, it means it's just in "AM".
