  1. Nope. Both sides need manual tuning. That's why a train may seem to have 2 diff TRN if both sides have diff numbers.

  2. If TRN is 210, most probably the train was TRN 10 (2 in front for DNB, or due to accidental tuning) or 21.

  Does this also applies to the newer led style as well (Such as C651 and C751B)?

   

  BTW, does C751A and C830 got their TRN as well?

  CCL is just 1 set of permanently coupled 3-car EMU, unlike EWL, NSL and NEL where it's 2 sets of permanently coupled 3-car EMU

  I believe everybody knows that SMRT train have the first and last cabins as trailers.

  And, according to wiki,  a trailer is an unpowered vehicle.

  Is that true? so i take it that the second cabin "pushing" the first cabin?

  What about during braking? it seems that it each cabin has its own set of brakes?

  The middle car should be the trailer.

  For CCL, they always use the last carriage (Back) 

  Once it departs from its terminus, its change from car 1 to car 3 or whichever. The back carriage always power the train.

  Both the first and last car power the train at any given time when the train moves. The middle car serves as a trailer.

  EWL, NSL and NEL:
  T-M-M-M-M-T

  CCL and DTL:
  M-T-M

  where M = Motor Car and T = Trailer Car.

  All 4 motor cars in the EMU work together, as the name suggests, Electric Multiple Unit. All cars have their own brakes.

  Lol idk lol. I love the C830s side windows lol. Can be more accurate by C751As since they have the sign at the side. The over run limit is about 2 doors

  my guess:

  Sentosa-SNT (derive from Sentosa)
  Waterfront-WTF(derive from Waterfront)
  Imbiah-IMB(derive from Imbiah)
  Beach-BCH(derive from Beach)

  Nice abbreviation for Waterfront.

  There are no station codes for the Sentosa Express.

  Guys, in this thread there are many stupid questions and wrong answers from them. Please don't reply unless you are 100% sure of your answer, and you have solid proof. Don't speculate and give that as an "answer".

  He just probably mean if there is one, it would be WFT instead of WTF (Which has a commonly known bad word in it)
