According to my friend, and the recording he sent me, the next station for NEL seems to have a new addition.
eg.

<Chime> Next Station, Farrer Park. èŠ±æ‹‰å…¬å›.

IMO i think it is because they assume that majority of the Malays and Indians can understand english but many chinese cannot understand english, thus adding in the chinese announcements.

Personally I don't care abt NEL announcements or whatsoever, thus this thread doesn't appeal to me.

But other trains seemed to have only <Chime> Farrer Park Station, èŠ±æ‹‰å…¬å›, Please Mind the Gap, è¯·å°�å¿ƒç©ºéš™, <Malay of Please mind the gap>, <Tamil of Please mind the gap> which heard when it reaches the station but not the Next station part.

Also, can this be confirmed on other stations such as

<Chime> Next Station, Chinatown. ç‰›è½¦æ°´. etc

Chinatown = ì¤‘êµ ë�„ì‹œ(Chung-guk Dong Si)

Potong Pasir = í�¬í†µ íŒŒì‹œ(Po-tong Pa Si)

Why the Chinatown sounded like ä¸å›½ä¸œè¥¿ in Korean ? (China stuff)

How about: ì•”ì†Œìž�ë�™ì°¨ë¬¼ (Cow Car Water, so as to reflect the actual name ç‰›è½¦æ°´ or Kreta Ayer. PS: There are people against LTA from using Chinatown during NEL's construction. There are historic concern about it and there is a HUGE difference between Singapore's "Chinatown" with US's chinatown, given that here we are Chinese majority, and US is not.)

PS: Notice that we have only a consitutency / Community Centre named as Kreta Ayer in English / Malay but not Chinatown.

(Now Kreta Ayer constiutency for the nearby resident has merged into Kim Seng constituency as well, since 2001)

Wow, no, I am not Korean or K Drama fan.

PS: I managed to figure out the Chung guk as same sound as Zhong Guo (ä¸å›½) with some guess.

And the suggestion, ì•”ì†Œìž�ë�™ì°¨ë¬¼, erm, I do not know the pronounciation, that is why it appeared here. It is a literal translation with the help of Google Translation.

PS: The Chinatown suggestion by Fryderyk HPH sounded like "ä¸å›½éƒ½å¸‚" (Chinacity, as the Korean pronunciation is Chung guk Do Si), the meaning of Chinatown is literally translated and a side note is that whenever each translation, there seemed not possible to 100% synchronize a phrase or a name.

I took 023/024 on 11 Dec, and recorded some next station announcements. Feel free to listen to them. As for the next station announcements of Interchange stations, it goes like this: *Chime* <Next Station, Serangoon Interchange, Passengers may alight, and change to the CCL> <å®žé¾™å²—>, just like the approaching station announcement.

Oh yah, if I'm not wrong, 021/022 also has the new announcements.

Thanks for the recording. 021/022 is confirmed without new announcements.
