Dependant on different time of day, OTP siding will be utilised to 'reverse' or 'turn around' trains in a scheduled time-table....During lunch hour on weekdays, the Lunchtime Express service trains will use it (and Aljunied station cross-over) to reverse trains on the East-West line to achieve shorter shuttle train service frequencies or 'headway'...

It is also used in the evening, for a scheduled in-bound service to supplement the evening peak hour service.
Launching of trains from OTP siding is carried out when an empty train is 'inserted' into the regular service.It increases the train service availability.*quoted from a Staff
There's another one in Woodlands and Yishun.

IIRC,
Yew Tee has crossovers.. To reverse the train during the Jurong East - Yew Tee shuttle service..

Is there really scissors for HBF? If so, how come trains use the run off area to turn around instead of using the scissors like the other terminals?
-
got scissors type, just that they lazy to do that.. that time when vivo city just opened... ppl can board trains at any platform, cross-over b4 the station
-
noticed the middle track just beyong bartley today... why must the TOs chase passengers out before trains do a turnaround? scared hanky panky?
oh and i think they installed a buffer on the tracks a little after marymount... anyone noticed? i think its one la saw red light in the middle of the track as tunnel lights were off cannot see clearly
-
1. Ytd while riding on nsl twrds Bishan, i noticed a gap in the tunnel btwn toa payoh and braddell, and i saw a train passing by heading SB. Was the gap there all along?
2. I've noticed that among all the C651s, only 237/238 has the new stickers. Maybe it's because it may be the last train to undergo refurbishment? What do you guys think? Has anyone seen 201/202 within these days?
-
1. Its the Toh Payoh crossover.
It is used to u-turn the trains back when the NSL was frm TAP - YCK

Don't know if this is asked before...but there's 19pages here too long to read all...
Anyone knows if there will be a NE2 on North East Line?
-
When there are developments going around the area...
In my view, Singapore has planned ahead when they plan to make a certain route.. Hahaha, for instance, if development is going high between Yew Tee and Kranji, who knows, they might start to build a second station, that was built with trains still running on it..

Dunno where to post, shall post here...
Excellent train frequency in may, pictures shall prove..
Train Bunching
Excellent frequency for circle line
No prize for guessing whether they did really happen or not..
