  No wonder the time it reachs JUR from TRN 106 and TRN 107 is quite long.

  Last few days i was on board 037/038 from TPY SB to CTH, the TRN is 053. But jcqh reported that this train is used as crossover, maybe it has changed its TRN at MRB....

  Do you know:-
  
  "Toa Payoh" is a mix Hokkien and Malay word?

  "Toa" in Hokkien mean "big"
  "Payoh" in Malay mean "Swampland"
  
  so "Toa Payoh" means "Big Swampland"
  ______________________________________
  
  Two stations have same RED but different location.
  
  "Tanah Merah" and "Redhill", Please don't confuse!
  
  "Tanah Merah" means in malay,  "Red Land" (Tanah mean Land)
  "Redhill" means "Bukit Merah" (hill mean bukit)
  
  Fishy about this places??
  
  will give you more =)

  I think, due to space constrains, Redhill is trapezium in shape...

  OH! I KNOW!

  I think i was onboard the same train as him, on CGL! 129/130!

  Coz after i alighted, then i alr tap out and went out (zzz) and while waiting at the bus stop, then there was an announcement by the CSO at TNM that "the train at the middle platform terminates at Joo Koon". So sad la, if i was still at the platform i would've gotten more info abt what hsppened and what trains were involved, but i rmb that 227/228 stopped at the WB track while 129/130 passed it.

  The RATIS, showing that the train at the middle platform was JKN bound:

  This 227/228 have been dominating CGL for the pas 2 weeks as the king, HAD ALREADY GIVE SO MUCH PROLEMS RUNNING IT.

  1) Delay
  2) Door closing time
  3) Door shuts very slow
  4) Movement very slow
  5) No sense of urgency
  6) Also whatever u all can say

  Attn to CHD/SMRT,
  
  STOP PUTTING 227/228 ON CGL!!! I DUN WISH TO SEE IT!!!!

  21 Feb 10, 20:14

  Oh ya, I got a qn to ask you.

  Did 227/228 enter TNM at the middle platform or WB platform? And did it continue service to Joo Koon?

  Also, did you see the CGL train 129/130 heading back towards Changi Airport?
