  Did SMRT buy more C651 or C751B?

  I thought LTA purchases the trains, not SMRT? /fp

  Oh. They (LTA/SMRT - I'm Confused!) bought more C751B, according to yellowflip999.

  If most of the SMRT trains have STARIS, then why does SBST doesn't want to install STARIS on the C751A?

  Another Q : Does 125/126 only serve the EWL?

  Allow me to number the questions:

  1. STARIS is a system by SMRT. Since the C751As are under SBST, it's their choice whether they want to use SMRT's STARIS on their line. Maybe SBST feels that their VPIS provides enough info.

  2. Nope. Trains on the NSL, EWL and CGL are interchangable.

  1. STARIS is SmrT Active Route Information System right? Then why don't SBSTARIS - SBST Active Route Information System?

  2. Oh. But I see 125/126 only on EWL. 1 time CGL.

  2. All trains on the 3 lines are interchangeable. It also depends what time you see the trains.

  Maybe at 5pm you see it on the East-West Line, but at 9pm it could be on the North-South Line, and maybe at 12pm on the CGL.

  It's a commercial decision, companies do not need to provide a reason for their decisions.

  But within a day do all 3 lines is very rare, despite it was recorded in the history before.

  It could be as such:

  NSL to EWL crossover, terminates at CHD. Evening deployed to CGL as TRN 142. All 3 lines cleared.

  If a train overruns a station(the last station) by 4 doors, does it reverse back or it just...?

  When The STARiS is Turn Off/reset, if The VFD Shows 1.2 means the STARiS is Version 1.2.

  If the VFD shows 1.1c den the STARiS Version is 1.1c  

  STARiS V1.2 has the updated scrolling text of the new No Eating & drinking announcement

   Sometimes however the VFD shows a "@" sign instead

  It's actually a flat spot on the train wheel. when trains have flatb wheels, they produce a dum-dum-dum sound.

  Oh. The sound is it like train crossover like that?
