1a) Most trains entering Bukit Gombakfrom cck during heavy rains will stop first before entering the station. Why?
1b) After stopping, there will be a red light lighted from the 1st cabin.. It is located between the parted windows and on the top of the emergency exit door why? and what does it means? it will than make its entry.
2) Can anyone explain to me what are the flashing lights at every station means? And also the lights on the tracks... thanks..
it is probably due to lightning...
for qn 2, flashing yellow lights mean there is a warning/cautionary message for the driver to take note of. in this case, it will be "raining". -

1a. If the Operations Control Centre instruct them to stop, they have to follow orders. There are a thousand and one reasons why a train stops. Likely due to slippery tracks.1b. CM (Coded Manual) - Train switches to manual mode and Train Operator has to guide the train into the station himself. The computers will then not be in charge of running the train.
2. Flashing lights at the FRONT of the platform indicate that the Train Operator needs to look at the notice board for instructions from Operations Control Centre. Usually they include things like i. raining; ii. Race Day; iii. Track works.

Thanks!!! Quite interesting lahh seyyy...
maybe this is a crap question.. How fast can a mrt stop from full speed(80km/h is it??) to zero?.. And what is the distance?
-
1 question... does anyone have photos of the SMRT trains to be serving in the Circle Line?
-
These are from 9V-SKA, they aren't owned by me!

many years back, SMRT also removed all the seats of some cars in a particular train, replacing them with cushions aka bum rests.. anyone can shed more light on this? esp why was this scheme failed.. and it was re-born again?

C651. Last set to have it before being changed back: 237/238.Scheme fail because passengers KPKB about not enough seats due to their "fragile legs".

All NEL trains does that. The computers are programmed this way to ensure that the train can slow to a smooth stop. Then the computers need to check if everything is ok before they then can open the door. It's unlike EWL and NSL where the TO can just catch a glimpse if everthing is ok before opening the door. Somemore already a routine, so EWL/NSL doors open quicker. -
now smrt has 10 c151 trains like the c651, entire row without chairs! somemore no cushions sia, juz a metal bar!

Yes... They are the last ten refurbist's. Mainly 055/056, 059/060, 067/068, 109/110, 117/118 and should be 039/040, 069/070, 071/072, 073/074, 075/076.. It's a sad thing they decided to do that...
-
I wished they would like change the current train announcements on the EW and the NS so taht they would also annouce in mandrin, like in hongkong mtr, all announcements in canto, chinese and english! sg should learn (:
"Next station, Pasir Ris terminus, xia yi zhan, ba xi li zhong dian zhan."

Won't you find it a bit long like that? Then at PSR still have the 'This train service terminates at this station. All passengers please alight. Thank you for travelling with S - M - R - T"

Hmm got a question to ask..
Regarding about driving manual mode. At the headwall, I usually see the notice, Raining. And there's one time I saw a notice saying Crane Working Ahead. So I would like to ask you guys if there are any more than those two above?

Tree pruning, race days at Kranji (at the two preceding stations, as said by Oceane), CCTV not working (hand written), Bishan track gauge (Notice at AMK)

Does Payalebar station (CircleLine), really have 3 tracks running through it like tanah merah station? That means that it would have 3 platforms?

The inner rails are used to reduce the amount of vibration caused by the train. Just like stones on the tracks to reduce sound.
The inner rails are called guard rails. They are to "catch" the wheels of the train to prevent it from falling from the viaduct when it derails. Hence, it is only found on viaducts.

Why do some trains terminate at Yishun though this is not the terminal station

So that the trains that terminate @ Yishun can go back downtown to pick up more people to fetch them home. -
