Announcement on 025/026 upon departing Bedok towards Pasir
Ris:
"Next station, Tanah Merah Interchange" *pause* "This
train service terminates at Changi Airport".
I boarded another train and the same announcement came.
Could it be a clue of through train service coming back since
CGL ridership has risen?
Hmm, in many years ago, I have taken a CGL through train (With
RATIS showing 3 CGA), but what happened was inside, the
announcement was This train service terminates at Pasir
Ris. So on TNM, I did not alight, and some airport bound
pax (Carring luggages) went outside and see the RATIS ... Hmm..
CGA....so went in again. Upon train leaving TNM, the announcement
was Next Station, Simei with the train crossover
and goes below another track heading Expo...... Many hence alighted
at Expo (Upon arrival of Expo, it announces.... Simei .....
Simei.....) and board another train back to TNM. (I did
not take to CGA to hear "Tampines or "This train service terminates
at this station thing.") Worst still, by the time the train reaches
to TNM, there was another train towards PSR, and many has to go
down and cross to another side, where by then the train ran away
le..... And waited for 6 mins for another PSR train. The involved
train of wrong announcement was a C751B.
Hmm..... I believe there are quite a number of such incident, so
no through train.
Personally, I feel that no through train's reasons is partially
security reason, partially low ridership, partially wrong
announcement like the above (I have encountered only once, but I
dont take MRT so frequently like daily twice) and partially the
C751B fault (C751B quite lousy one, gearbox issue.....) that forced
SMRT to re-consider TNM - CGA shuttle train.
