How does the Chinese annonuce in Clarke Quay Station? In the end is "ke la ma tou" or "ke la ma" When I heard was "ke la ma".The "tou" is quite soft.

You know, my theory is that the mix of some over-enthusiastic announcements (center of the car...) and monotone announcements (Jurong East Interchange) was caused by some beta announcements being left intact.

Isn't the "doors closing" beta now used on the Circle Line?

Nope. I thought the CCL used a modified version of the normal doors closing?

I'm sure that in the beta, CHY stretches out the word "doors" a little more, something I've always noticed in the Circle Line announcements.

Some announcements have 2 versions, the earlier one is nicknamed the 'BETA' version, which is replaced by the current one.

BETA of PMTPG
Please mind! the platform gap! (More enthusiastic tone)

Current PMTPG
Please mind, the platform gap. (Quite a sian tone)

BETA of DRCLS
*ding dong* (pause) Doors are closing (beeps) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v--rgMsNN-0

Current DRCLS
*ding dong* Doors are closing (beeps)

BETA of JUR EWL
Jurong East Interchange! Passengers travelling towards Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio, please transfer at the middle platform!

Current JUR EWL

The current Please mind the platform gap sounds more professional than the older one.

The current Please mind the platform gap sounds more professional than the older one.

The current one sounds less vein then the beta one.

The unused platforms at Promenade were added in last minute after the Nicoll Highway collapse in 2004. The latter was supposed to be an interchange with the Downtown Line, but the change in location for the station (some 100m away at Republic Avenue) caused the interchange to be shifted to Promenade.
