The whole point to develop is not to get the CGA route but to
develop to expand the number of routes and trains available.
Anyway, there is no point in developing the C951 as it is an
automated train. Do wait for the official release of the CGA route.
Thank you.
I suggest one thing, if you really cannot wait, then try to
develop Joo Koon - Chinese Garden. The only tricky part is about
the train curves when approaching / departing stations as well as
crossovers in Joo Koon, Boon Lay and Lakeside. Jurong East is damn
difficult and I know that the NSL developers are trying to develop
and Clementi is already released up to Queenstown.
The other thing I agree with Veryon is that the C951 train is a
Downtown line train, which is under construction. So unless you
have / are a some worker / rail manager / LTA personnel, I doubt
you will know the track diagrams (Still possible to find on net)
and all the other details. In theory, this train can be deployed in
Circle due to the fact that both are standard gauge, and both use
3rd rail with CTBC (Instead of EWL / NSL's traditional ATC) which
is an automated train.
However, in personal capacity, I disagree with the developers
saying that because this is automated train so pointless to make
one because
1:) EWL & NSL neither are they fully manual. They are
semi-auto train such that it just needed a person to look after the
train at all times but probably in usual day & time, no peak
hour, no fault / technical glitch and bad weather as well as
construction or certain incidents like suicides and smoke coming
from "some industrial accident" somewhere, they probably just sit
there and do nothing.
2:) Even in NEL, CCL, DTL and future CTBC lines (All lines in
future will be fully automated), there are times where it happens
technical glitch or whatever that needs someone to drive manually.
Nowadays it seemed like all CTBC train are equipped with a staff
not only to prevent "joker" like me who did mount and board a train
to Bartley TBS twice and unsuccessfully trying to board test train
towards Dhoby Ghaut a few days ago in Bartley or some terrorists
but also to adjust PA system (I did have a few photos in NEL but as
my phone has lost, all is gone), and some other thing the staff has
looked which I am not sure what is it for (Sure, out of scope for
[Open]BVE, but my point is they must be prepared to CM train at
anytime, just like those Nepalese police are ready to fight and die
for Singapore at anytime). Hence, maybe the developers can still do
it but at a later stage, and I still think that it should be
done.
