Question 13
Provision has been made to how many MRT stations on North East Line for interchanging with future MRT Line?

[D] 4

Reason: Provision has made to HarbourFront MRT station for interchanging with Circle Line; Punggol MRT station for interchanging with North Shore Line (the North Shore Line station box is just below Punggol NEL station).

[A] Promenade
[B] Bugis
[C] Nicoll Highway
[D] Stadium

Reason: Originally Bukit Timah Line is meant to be separated from Eastern Region Line when the southern terminus of BTL is at Nicoll Highway but because of Nicoll Highway Collapse, the southern terminus of BTL has been shifted to Promenade merging with ERL forming new DTL line. LTA has confirmed that Nicoll Highway MRT station will not have any interchange with future MRT lines so this station will be only the one for CCL due to the remaining debris inside the collapse area that make it difficult for future construction of tunneling and station box.

Oceane SG

I went to Dictionary.com to search for the meaning "trainset" and this is the reply:

Similarly, the term trainset refers to a group of rolling stock that is permanently or semi-permanently coupled together to form a unified set of equipment (the term is most often applied to passenger train configurations).

http://www.reference.com/search?r=13&q=Trainset

I also went to search for C751B in Wikipedia:

21 trainsets of 6 cars each were purchased

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Heavy_Industries_%26_Nippon_Sharyo_C751B_cars

Furthermore, taken from his own post...

Q2.
View picture here(Too big):

http://srv0106-10.oak1.imeem.com/g/05135e0eb61e1c2ed620aac439b65329.jpg

What trainset is this?
A: 001/002
B: 059/060
C: 085/086
D: 111/112

By the meaning "trainset" as stated above it means a singular term, i.e. the number "1", so isn't it obvious he also stated that 6 cars that were coupled together means ONE trainset? Laughing

Think very clear liao la... there are only 21 trainsets of C751Bs consisting of 6 cars per trainset.
