[Archive] Questions on MRT/LRT

Do you guys heard the MRT's horn before? I don't know beacause when I was in a C151, the train made some freaking sounds and they were always repeating. When these noises were made, an odd noise that sounded like a horn was sounded. It was like someone blowing a trumpet or something. (It was on the NSL, I thought it was the driver who did this...but it was not.)(offtopic: it seems that when drivers meet up at stations to change drivers, they seem to chat for like 5 minutes then the get back to work. wtf?)

Can trains flip over? I mean as in, the 1st day 001 was facing EB and 002 facing WB, and the 2nd day 001 was facing WB and 002 facing EB.

There's a turnabout track after Harbourfront which stops after a length of 6 cars of the train. The trains go there and turnabout back to Harbourfront after 1 or 2 minutes. This happens during peak hour and this happens to not obstruct other trains.
so how the train turn about? -
Where are the train turnabouts can be found?

Depends on time.
Peak hour and non-peak hour period.
Trains travel at a faster speed during the peak hour period.
I've experienced it before.

Privacy also.
Some passengers don't like to be photographed. You know.. Actually can take one, no problem. You have to ask the station master for permission first, if luck is on your side, they will let you take.

they worried that the terrorist plant a timed/remote control bomb! -

Hahaha, no one at the station, left me and the TO there, but got some pax in the train la. Uncle so kind to let me in, then he taught me how to operate the train, how to knw if the signal is clear. To keep it short, play BVE, something like that ah. Hahaha.
Err, last month I think, can't remember clearly when. Sometimes, when I take the train to anywhere, I always stand at the HW, then wave the the TO. :D
