  I think C651s shld be starting refurbishment end 2009 or early 2010, since there would be STARIS by 2011, probably the STARIS installation would be part of the C651s' refurbishment.

  203/204 broke down on northbound at AMK station at around 8.20pm today. So all trains heading towards JE or Yishun had to be diverted to the middle platform for people to alight / board.

  Always happen on nsl. Usually breakdowns don't happen on ewl.

  1 of the main reason is NSL have more Xover tracks (like the tracks right before terminal stations) and have middle tracks than EWL..

  didnt know the train which broke down at amk is a C651

  so from what i've read it seems to be true that C651 really break down more often...

  and yes, was going to say imagine it break down at bishan -___-
