Exclusive! Today I at Circle Line Bishan, the announcement said
"Attention please. Due to train faults in certain sectors, the
train service for both directions will be delayed for about 10
minutes." (Note: I intended to record it using TTOS, but the phone
only allowed me to record for a minute, which is not enough to
cover all 4 languages. Coupled with the hand's uncomfortable due to
the speaker are put at a height which I need to raise my hand, I
aborted the idea of recording the announcement and thus, the
wording might not be the exact one) And the whole Bishan station
was cramped by people during the peak hour (Approx 7:30pm)
Also, when the first train comes into Bishan (To Marymount, Was
it Set 06? where I know I got see a 0 and a 6), due to too many
people are alighting, and none passenger from Bishan managed to
board the train -- furthermore, 2 passengers side by side was
kiapped by the train and a few more passengers failed to alight at
Bishan (Their destination is Bishan by the way, whether transfer or
not is OT). So a few more minutes later, Set 25 comes in (To
Marymount again, note: No trains to Dhoby Ghaut yet) and I managed
to board in. (I suspect by then I come in, the faulty trains was
sent back to depot)
What happens is, when it turn around to Bishan, it kiapped
people again (And I heard a child cried lah, and an unhappy
passenger complained to a CSO citing the train door is closing way
too fast and that is no good along with the enquiry of the staff's
ability to open the train door becoz of waiting for about 17minutes
of train and only 2 passengers [on a door] managed to board the
train {you can imagine how the ****ing pax amount is}, to which the
staff replied as these trains are automatic and they cant do
anything to open it.)
Such incidents happen again in Serangoon Interchange as well.
None of these kiapping passenger happened in the non-Interchange
stations. Futhermore, I was at the 1st PSD (HW for both
directions)
No trains to Paya Lebar since then.
The only proof I have, is when the train going towards to
Marymount, the train is in CM mode, and I happily snap pictures in
front of a CSO who is talking / listening to a walkie talkie from
depot staff. Well, he did not even care on my action.
Pictures of the driver cabin will be uploaded soon. (No videos,
sorry -- mine is not good enough to do one.)
Do they have special annoucement when kiap. If it was NEL, there
will be a annoucement saying 'Please stand clear of doors.'
