The thump thump sound coming from the wheels then the train is moving.

So, lemme ask you also, what do they do when they found that it has a flat wheel?
Profiling!
Pardon me for my noobness, but what is the purpose of having a train run number?

i quote my reply for u to see:in the blueprint in 1990s north east line was supposed to branch out to Seletar from hougang. then after punggol station it was also shown to extend to pulau ubin
but if MRT go to pulau ubin then will pollute the place like hell, so i think the plan was scrapped
jurong LRT was mentioned some time back that the plan has also been shelved because 'unless there is going to be a new township in the future that is going to be very heavily built up, it is unlikely that the LRT system will be expanded'. this is quoted from a straits times article abt plans for the then Bukit Timah line, eastern region line (now part of the downtown line)
i think if u want extension after joo koon is unlikely bcos already got the jurong industrial services to serve the area. or if u want to go malaysia via 2nd link i think wait long long. MRT after pasir ris also not likely, pasir ris already the east end of Singapore, where else u want the MRT to go, Changi Village? actually the north shore line when its built (if it is built) may go to Changi Village, but then again north shore line is a long time later, so u have to wait
Most of your point is correct but now there is a Tuas Extension (EW30 to EW33) and a depot after EW33 and a Tuas South Extension (Branch out from EW30) plan.
Yes, it will not extend to JB.

To add on: Tuas Extension will actually extend down south the reclaimed land, only a short branch to near Tuas Checkpoint and the bus terminal.
And a depot near Tuas Checkpoint.

Easier to identify the train, e.g. for it to return to whichever depot or run a particular section of either line.
For example, TRN 201-206 run EWL LTE, where 201-203 returns to CGD while 204-206 returns to UPD after the LTE.
Another example - TRN 101-107 does morning crossover from NSL to EWL via JUR.
Originally posted by willis_chong:It is possible, provided that there aren't any trains between Harbourfront and Outram Park. Theres a crossover towards Harbourfront right after Outram Park.
Erm, yes, since there was a special service between HBF and OTP. Just to make a side note, maybe in Sengkang has no scissors, but one similar in Punggol / Pasir Ris / Boon Lay etc on MOST of the terminus (HBF is not).
And I thought the Outram Park one was the Punggol bound train switched to Harbourfront side one? (TW in Platform B switch to HW of Platform A)

Woah. Anw, the CCL PayaLebar entrance you could tresspass without being noticed? I thought that the entrance is usually barricated or entrance shutters closed and having some foreign workers guarding the entrances?
Use some tacts to do it. Unfortunately, it has since been patched up that unless extreme measures are made, it is almost impossible to enter the station. (I still give 1% hope due to its complexity)
But relax, I have found another way to get in, but at other station (Tried, and ran away, without taking a test train as I saw Station Manager there and uncofirmed if there was a test train there.)
Maybe some one can clarify types of crossover, like what does scissors mean etc......
is 321/322 controlled by cgd?anyway, it was on nsl on tursday.

321/322 is indeed from CGD.
then 041/042 is ex upd, 055/056 is it from upd?
Originally posted by Yongjunzer:then 041/042 is ex upd, 055/056 is it from upd?
041/042 is currently from cgd, 055/056 is from upd
How come there is no service from Pasir Ris to Marina Bay or Ang Mo Kio during evening peak hours?
Does anyone here have an idea what happened to the 7 trains that crossover from NSL to EWL after they reached Pasir Ris. (Is it a DNB or Joo Koon bound train?)
NEL new annoucement "Please do not loitter onboard our premises. Thank you."

Heard it before. Only played when many people loiter around.
I heard it at Farrer Park many times. Must be station master pressing it many times.

This is played often in Farrer Park, Little India for the "bangalas" and possibly Chinatown (Or this does not exist in Chinatown?) .
There is a signboard of "No Loitering" exclusively in Farrer Park & Little India.......
Everytime in OTP the arriving train (1min) played: "Attention please, please give to alighting passengers before boarding, thank you" But other underground station do not have.
At little India station exit A/C , the annoucement to hold on the handrails always play and play and play. Never stop.
By the way I have a question.
Based on videos taken by some forumers here and my personal experience (Not recorded) where I heard a train did say "Next Station, Ang Mo Kio" when the train was a NSL that was located at Jurong East at that time where the driver say "Bukit Batok" etc, I wonder how these announcements works.
Is it like there is a touch screen on the computer to press a button under Announcement menu or message are automatically pre-programmed etc.....
How about when the doors closing. There should be a sound <Chime> "Doors are closing." <Chime> then the doors are closed. This is not the case of DNBs where most likely it is a <Chime> or not a sound at all (Apart of the fricition sound made by the door) and the doors are closed. PS: The chimes are different. So how these announcements are made.

1) The announcement all are transmitted using the ATAS system, found in the train. The messages are transmitted via the tracks to the ATAS system, or the Automatic Trainbourne Announcement System.. It includes the Next station, If you see any suspicious... Going to Johor Bahru..
The system will pick up the codes that are transmitted from the tracks and thus, you will hear the Next station, Choa Chu Kang Interchange...
Before ATAS was introduce... TOs manually announce the next station names..
2) The other chime that you heard, right after the Ding Dong, Doors are Closing.. ting tong.. ting tong... then the doors will be closed, is called the Dwell time... That chime is the original factory fitted door chime..
Train officers will extend the train "dwell time", by manually putting on the original "ding-dong" chimes onto the P.A. system, to allow more passengers (ignorant of the door-closing chime) ...who still rush into the trains.
