Location

Jurong East Interchange, Westbound Platform front.

Objective

To camp for train spottings.

Duration

2.30 PM onwards. Will last for about 2 hours.

Notes

Best place to refresh time at Chinese Garden or Bukit Batok, where stations are near JUR so to reduce the chances of missing trains to minimum.

Attendees

jcqh - Black sling bag, sandals

willis_chong - Grey/Orange Bag (Backpack), Broken Glasses on Left, Jeans

wenjie - black-blue sling bag, shirt and shorts and sandals

Tilldeath - jeans, black specs and sling bag

Where do you guys exactly meet? Platform level or ticketing machine level?

willis_chong SG

Platform level. WB platform front.

Interception_7 SG

if we camp for example at Jurong East,

what's the max time for us to stay just in the station itself?

It depends on the stn where you entered and where you plan to tap out at to "refresh" your timing. There are certain limits to the amt of time you take to get from 1 location to another. For me, I enter from Pasir Ris, and tap out at either Bukit Batok (preferred) or Chinese Garden. These stns are 24 stns away from PSR, so I have a time limit of 2hrs. PSR -> JUR will take abt 55mins, so i have abt 1h to camp before refreshing my time.

One guy was loitering around at the WB platform area for a long time. Was that person any of you here?
