Russianroulette2004! Where ish my white C751B??
Sorry for taking so long but I think that there is something wrong with my PhotoShop as I cannot save properly and the files become corrupted later. Wonder if you can ask someone else to help you fulfil your wish.

This morning I took 053/054 (refurb) and I was in 2053 and i noticed there was those displays in the train (The one in C751B that shows the time and date) Is it just for display and are they gonna remove it soon? 2053 was the only car with those things.

Could it be for the passenger information system to be installed in 2009? A test-trial at work? -
questions here..sorry if its been posted before..
are third rails power on thru-out the night? are third rail used on maintainence vehicles?
what are the inner rails(those u find beside the main rails) what are they for? used as a spare/support during rail maintainence?
thanks in advance
cheers

1. i don't think so, because if i'm not mistaken, maintenance vehicles use diesel. 2. i believe it's for vibration reduction. they are only found on tracks on viaducts.

Third rails are switched off after the last train service has terminated. Maintanence vehicles uses diesel as fuel to move about. I'm sure they won't want to risk their workers getting electrocuted by 750V of electricity when carrying out works. =.="The inner rails are used to reduce the amount of vibration caused by the train. Just like stones on the tracks to reduce sound.

Why NE line still use the overhead cable as a mean of power supply to the train instead of third rail?

The overhead cables generate 1200V of AC power, which obviously provides more power than the third rail - 750V DC.As NEL is fully underground, it was also a good choice to use overhead cables as it does not give that "unsightly" of Singapore.

Because its provides trains the ability to travel at a faster speed, and LTA wanted to try it out.

and apparently they decided against it liao, reverting back to 3rd rails for new lines.

2) Can anyone explain to me what are the flashing lights at every station means? And also the lights on the tracks... thanks..

I not sure if it ok to post about NEL train here?
There is one NEL train quite weird sio.I mean when it reaches stations, it slows down a-bit to stop lah (of course I understand, driverless) but it like a tortise when it need to stop at the staion plus when the train doors open, the plaform screen door never open until about 2-3 sec then open. and it is also one of the weirdest NEL train that I take and if I am not wrong, I was on 70251? the train cars
