  i find the sound of C151, C751B and C751A nicer than the C651 sound. i dunno why, when i listen to C651 sound pulling off and stopping it just doesnt feel comfortable.

  last time there were no "doors closing" announcement, but the chime coming from the train itself. i know how the chime from C151 and C651 sound like but never heard C751B sound it before, nor the NEL train. i even prefer the C151 chime to the C651 one. again, it doesnt sound comfortable to me.

  doubt they will change..

  the C151s they oso didn't change, the "strip" for the C151s & C751Bs are similar if I'm not wrong..

  Probably would never happen, but hoping that they would modulate the propulsion system to Keikyu standards.

  i'm residing at the 10th floor so its just the nice level for spottings..

  
  Mine is ninth floor.

  I live near Khatib. However, to see trains, I must pop my head out.

  On a final note, NSL is pampered with lots of C651 on weekends. It seems like 1 in every 3 trains is C651.

  dun forget they are interchangeable..

  so now its NSL for example then later it would be the EWL turn to get the C651s..

  Harhar. The black strip is actually functions like sandpaper to provide roughness. Whereas the C151 and C751B's have nothing other then metal.

  No. The sound is rough.
