  hi Bus and Train LoVuR ,

  I'm a reporter with Singapore Press Holdings. I hope to do a story on the train-spotting phenomenon, all the train fans here and what about MRT trains that intrigues you guys.

  Would you consider doing an email or phone interview with me? I promise that it will not take up much of your time. A phoner will probably take less than 20 mins.

  This would make a great story as it's a very interesting hobby.

  I really hope that you'll seriously consider and in your response to me, do tell me what to address you other than your handle. My name is Cheryl.

  Thank you.

  From Trainspotter.

  2) What is Singapore Trains website in SG Forums all about? What do forummers share there?
  3) How did you first start to get interested in trains? Is it from a love for model trains?
  4) Is it just MRT trains that you're interested in? What are the different types of trains?
  5) What interests you about trains?
  6) Do the train lovers like buses too? What about yourself? Which is better?
  7) Do all the train fans only meet in the forum? Do you meet offline too, like go on train rides together or just meet up socially for meals, drinks?
  8) Is there an official term for the train lovers in SG Forums in Singapore Trains? Eg Train fans, train lovers?
  9) What aspects of trains do you post and discuss about there?
  10) When did you first acquire this hobby?
  11) Do you have other friends in school who also share the same hobby? What do your friends and family who share this hobby say about your passion for trains?

  Yap that's the cover.. During the interview, the person ask abt our railway passion.. Alot of questions were asked.. It's very fun.. Exchanged locomotive photos there...

  Then during the recent accident at the Bukit Timah bridge there, the reported kept calling me, asking me opinions about it. Lol.
