last SG · 2005-10-30T20:34:08+00:00

nowadays, they enter station have to stop reading. coz' recently, got ppl complain and ask 'why are they reading?? they shud look at the tracks for ppl tryin...

Manager433 SG

Wrong. There are 2 modes for the trains: auto and coded. In coded, the driver needs to power up when the train received codes from 0-80kph. He also needs to brake ( stops ) the train when arriving stations. Fyi.

sinicker SG

or maybe he at HarbourFront. CCL construction. Shocked

Manager433 SG

Mr. Green this one cannot tell u too much.

Icemoon SG

one more question.

those announcements on train, like calling 999, are auto played one issit?

Icemoon SG

ya, my question is how to get the yellow maintenance train to the spoilt train? with a few trains blocking the way.

Icemoon SG

another question.

usually after the last train, the yellow maintenance train (I think) will be seen travelling. Damn it .. this bastard makes a loud noise .. especially when it travels non stop past a station.

why leh? is it going somewhere? for what?

Mr Fugue SG

nonono, it's LIVE one. Laughing

Icemoon SG

hmm .. but the one in tamil is female voice .. are you sure the driver is female also?

sinicker SG

follow the trains in front. travel at a slower average speed. singapore is small anyway.

sinicker SG

all female wad. sex sells.

Icemoon SG

and how many of you remember the Clementi? MRT Station trains langa accident?

I think this is the only SMRT trains langa accident to date.

sinicker SG

probably to continue on with yday's morning's work at some place. or just to get to the terminating station quickly eg. Pasir Ris.

Icemoon SG

yah .. but how to get to the actual spoilt train? wun the "trains in front" block the way?

sinicker SG

let's say the train heading for Boon Lay spoils at Eunos. Trains would turn ard at Kembangan and Paya Lebar. shuttle service provided between kembangan-eunos-paya lebar. so the "trains in front" wud have turned ard to allow the spoilt train to be towed back to... tanah merah.

have i answered ur question?

Icemoon SG

Here is something I suspected for some time.

There are times when the train purposely slow down then pick up speed again. Doesn't look like it is waiting for the train in front to clear, 'cos it does not stop but only slow down.

I suspect the track at that point is faulty. 'cos the track crews detected a fault the previous night.

what do you think?

Icemoon SG

logical ans. thanks.

Icemoon SG

I saw the train whizzing past tanah merah station towards city area .. dunno go where .. boon lay? Laughing

sinicker SG

at what time? the train reaches pasir ris at 1am.. den goes westwards..

wonderamazement SG

No no...omg how do i put it..a streak of light(not sure whether i saw it flash across te carraige or not) not those indicators....flashed across other commuters also saw it...not sure if any of them are in sgforums...btw the loud clang isn't just like anyone dropping something....it somewhat like you know those half life monorial where another part connects that kinda sound in the starting part...

ps: the train was stationary at the station....

EXCO SG

That is the Automatic Train Protection (ATP) at work. The speed limit is higher the further away from the train in front, so if the train behind goes too close to the train in front, it will slow down to keep within the limit. Think of it as a moving speed limit block.
