  Wah. Just a few days ago got HHPSD problem at JRE. They must be thinking dont install HHPSD. Now people jump off the track, they changed their thinking, hoping got more HHPSD.

  Im just thinking that they should use other kinds of HHPSD. The current ones does not allow us to see the numbers on the train exterior.

  this problem will only be solved (but not necessary) when the 1/2 height PSDs are up..

  I seriously don't know. An approaching train is only around 30-10km/h lor.

  I love it when you use the word "only"..

  if u really must know, either you join Tiong Aik or SCDF & you can get to see it up close & personal..

  If it's a C751B, that will be 225.6 tons of metal and plastic, excluding passengers, moving towards you.

  EDIT: And think of the traumatised train driver.
