  I dont know whether they are serving food. What I saw are trolleys in the train and some EZ Link machines, like you've mentioned above. I though that the trolley contains food to serve staff food for all stations ?

  The trolleys onboard these trains youre talkin about are not there to transport Food.. they are to transport the money collected at the GTM machines. they are provide fresh Ezlinkz for stations.

  I just don't understand. Why some of the NSL Trains (From Marina Bay - Jurong East) terminate at Yishun at sometimes. And why the last train to Jurong East terminates at Kranji ? Can't they finish the whole route till Jurong East ?

  Marina Bay - Yishun is the higher demand sector of NSL, therefore the SWTs of trains.
  
  There are in fact last northbound NSL train terminating at Jurong East. After this, all northbound trains terminate at Kranji as there is very low demand towards Jurong East.

  Those trains that terminates at Yishun reminds me of the 1990's where Yishun is the last station.
