  Pic? Maybe it is a refurb C651?

   

  SMRT may say that 209/210 is the first C651 to be refurbished, but they can refurbish MIA trainsets like 201/202 first right.

  My experience today. I filmed many times on the same train with the same CSOs and they said nothing. After a few rides THEN they stop me.

  CSO 1: Are you allowed to film?
  Me: No; SBS8945Y: Yes
  SBS8945Y: Ok, no
  CSO 1: I've seen you all filming many many times already.
  CSO 1: You filming for what?
  SBS8945Y: school project, we all from same school
  Scania96: project about JEMP
  CSO 1: Got permission?
  SBS8945Y: Yea
  CSO 1: Sure ar? Ok then.

  Everyone thought it was ok, but then...

  CSO 1: You sure you have permission to film?
  SBS8945Y: Yea!
  CSO 2: What school you from?
  SBS8945Y: *School name*
  CSO 1: Since you've got permission, we'll need a letter of approval.
  Me: Huh? But they didn't give me one.
  CSO 2: You need one, which staff did you ask?
  Me: Forgot, some random staff on station platform.
  CSO 2: Don't take the risk, later Station Master come check then catch you all.
  Me: Ok then...

  Then we kept ranting about them.

  My experience for today. JEMP period

  Jurong East to Lakeside (I wanted to taking pic of the poster and sign)
  But too many SMRT people....
  Polices just left this station, they went down to the holding area.

  Take train to Lakeside, I alighted. What? Passengers are crowding all the area!
  How to film a train?  

  I went to Pioneer. For I pictured the RATIS for terminates at Lakeside. Because none of the staff there.

  Took a train to Lakeside (Just Filming - BNL-LKS)

  Again... But the announcement of CSO keep repeating...

  I board a train to Jurong East. Train almost departs. Ehh... What's so familiar of the people there?

  Ohh. Train Fans ah? Too bad. I already in the train.... I need to go CLE by the shuttle bus.

  Alighted at CNG. Waiting for spotting trains awhile. I sent a message them...
  When I boarded the train 115/116 to Jurong East. What?? 6min?? I uploaded the video.

  Tap out. I took a free shuttle bus to CLE. Aiyo... AYE ar? Still a long time 10 min above... And yet no place to seats.  (wanted to film in the bus how are the driver drives the routes to Clementi)

  CLE bus stop - People crowded the area!! CLE station too!

  CLE-DOV (for catching the RATIS) 333/334 Arriving Dover (I filming)
  After about 1min later. o.o Polices came from the escalator!

  Wow.. So dangerous and lucky....

  (Next Time I wish I don't go for JEMP shuttle train)

  btw just now i almost get killed by the driving skills of the bus captains of the MRT shuttle bus. The bus was driving very fast and drove over a X-Link hump without steeping on brakes, many went flying up and down.
