[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.

A: No
B: Yes,2009
C: Yes,2010 Wikipedia states 2010 but I'm absolutely sure the deadline for refurbishment of C151 trains would overshoot the deadline of 2008 judging by the rate of their process now... it's 1 more year to go and they have only completed around 18 sets in 1 year... so at this rate they'd probably do another 18 only in another year.
D: Yes,2011

Hmmm.. I think he meant 2 trainsets per train so 21 x 2 = 42 trainsets in total? Bingo?

I went to Dictionary.com to search for the meaning "trainset" and this is the reply:Originally posted by Novawin™:Hmmm.. I think he meant 2 trainsets per train so 21 x 2 = 42 trainsets in total? Bingo?
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...
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?

[b]Which NEL station is below road levels?
[A] NE15
[B] NE17
[C] NE03
[D] NE16
[E] I never see leh.
B. NE17 (Punggol) is the only station in the NEL that runs below roads.

[D] 107/108
[E] I don't care about Singapore's Birthday anyway.
C. 085/086 used to possess "Happy Birthday Singapore" Advertisements before undergoing many many changes.
[/b]
I do believe that there are more than one Happy Birthday Singapore trains, unless you are not talking about the rainbow colored one. It shouldn't be that coincidental to see it nearly everytime at the same station and bearing in mind that I dint take trains frequently. -

Question 14.
All stations in the NEL are built underground, as we all know. However, all NEL stations except Punggol are built below ground level (Be it under a house, under an explosive or whatever). The unique feature of Punggol is that it was built directly beneath a road (Somewhere near the Heartlands of Punggol) and furthermore, a box station was built beneath the NEL platforms to serve as provisions for the future North Shore Line.
So imagine 3 layers of transport built directly on top of another... You can guess how strong the soil is.
Question 15.
Of the above given choices, 021/022 bore a Guardian Multi-Colour Ad. before undergoing refurbishment, 039/040 had always bore a "Courtesy In Singapore" Ad., and 107/108 underwent many changes like IKEA, but it is currently featuring a "Fairprice NTUC XTRA" Ad. Only 085/086 once had a "Happy Birthday Singapore" Ad. -
