Well on 18th July I was with tilldeath at Yishun MRT and we saw the RATIS display "7 mins" for a split second. :\

A CCL train fault on 30 July 2009... the RATIS showed "4mins" after a train departed. Then when reach "1min", it stays there for 3mins before going blank. Then, an announcement is made *"Due to a train fault, train service to Bartley....." then 15 mins later, the train arrives and underran the station by a few cm. The train stayed at the station for 5 mins before departing and everything went back to normal.
My classmate told me this.
* - Should be this announcement. It might differ from the actual one.

YTD when i was onboard 023/024, it moved very slowly when it reached NVN, after that it took a while for the train to depart....
but the timing stood for every station were very slow, like 3 mins like that... the worst case when it reaches DBG, firstly the train overshot, after that the train doors cant open. it took 4 mins for this process to end... not only that, i heard the TO is banging the cab violently, all the paxs were very pissed off... in the end the station TO hav to intervene this situation... came down to the cab directly and reverse back the train, finally the doors opened... but it stood for another 2 mins, by then 2 trains passed the opp bound....
after that i alighted at city hall, everything went as usual, but this has resulted the following 2 trains at 1 min frequency...

Make this thread sticky

to tilldeath23
if a train overshot.. depend on the overall size of the train being overshot..
if happen the train overshot the entire station.. the train got to process to the next station . the CPU of the train will never reverse back because of safety protocol.
if happen the train is about half length.. the train is able to reverse using manual speed control
regarding about the door banging.. i have no idea..
ps: i am a extreme train fan, been to all depot on private trips and drove on the cab for hours before

At 2.05pm just now, i boarded 311/312 otw from yishun to tpy SB. when it reaches braddel, suddenly the train produces hisses sound and i didnt expect the train overrun.....
the train stops there and have to skip braddel becuz of that and move to tpy instead.
Then the TO said, " Due to hisses and shocked, this train had overruned, passegers going to braddel kindly alighted at tpy and change to the NB train. Sorry for the inconvenience caused."

Lightning shot a point machine at Bishan NB and broke down. Trains passing through went pass at a very slow speed at about 5-10 km/h. SMRT staff went to fix it shortly after.
The gangway between 2347 and 2348 was leaking rainwater btw.

this time round is C751b problem!!!

Today (5 Sept 09)
Due to checking/repairing of tracks at near the small tunnel of NSL (the tunnel between CCK & Bukit Gombak), all trains passing by the tracks need to be slowed down.

Last Sunday 1 route map in 3001 wasn't working.

There was a train parked beyond the track of Pasir Ris Platform A, which was 049/050 when I passed by it and saw it while on service 3. It was there since near noon, and at 5.30pm it was still there. As a result, all trains entering Platform A had to stop before entering the strn, and shift to RM mode before slowly pulling into the stn.
These are the following evidence:
From bus int.
From stn
I will be uploading a video regarding this, with 061/062 halting before entering the stn, and entering in RM mode.

A funny thing happened just now during train camp... I boarded a crossover train from NSL to EWL on 045/046 and alighted at JUR. But after about 1.5 hours it crossed over from NSL to EWL again at JUR! I saw "3046", and it really is. Cannot be 3146 right...
-
at 550pm , all SB trains at TPY came at 1 min frequency...
becuz of this, the RATIS shown didnt change
