$1.13b DTL contracts awarded

THE Land Transport Authority has awarded six contracts worth $1.13 billion for the Downtown Line.
The contracts, which will cover all three stages of the project, will include the procurement of trains and other electrical and mechanical systems.
Among the contracts is one awarded to the consortium of Bombardier Transportation GmbH / Bombardier (Singapore) for the procurement of 73 three-car electric trains at a cost of $570.7 million.
These trains will be fully automated and driverless. Such trains are being used for the North-East Line and will also be used for the upcoming Circle Line.
Another $287.5 million contract was awarded to Westinghouse Brake and Signal Holdings to provide the signalling system and platform screen doors at the stations, said LTA in a statement on Friday.
Other contracts awarded include that for the control and communications systems and also the building of lifts and escalators.

Isn't Bombardier a Canadian company? IIRC they supplied hte rolling stock for the Putra Line in KL.

Now Movia and Metropolis cars will run around DTL and CCL because of KCD?

Those are the WORST types of electric motor trains/trams I've EVER SEEN!!!
Just take a look at BPLRT and you will know...
Seems like they prefer Westinghouse for the PSD job. Not a bad choice then.

I'm wondering if 73 3-car trains are enough to supplement the entire DTL... -
Canadian railway company awarded LTA contract for Downtown Line
A :$571-million contract for trains to be used in the planned Downtown Line has been awarded to Canadian railway engineer Bombardier by the Land Transport Authority (LTA). Deliveries are due to begin in the last quarter of 2012 and will be completed in 2016, Bombardier announced on Friday. The order is the latest effort to promote public transport and ease road congestion during rush hours. Singapore wants to triple the number of daily journeys on its rail network to 4.6 million by 2020, and in January additional spending of $20 billion was announced, to double the rapid-transit network to 278 kilometres by 2020. Construction on the Downtown Line, which will connect the Central Business District and Marina Bay area with the northwestern and eastern ends of the island, began on Feb 12, the LTA said. The first stage of the project will be completed in 2013, with the second and third stages due in 2015 and 2016. The 40km-long line is designed to transport almost half a million passengers every day. Bombardier’s order, its third in the country, is for driver-less Movia metro vehicles, consisting of three-car train sets, the statement said. The vehicles are able to operate under a fully-automated mode. They have high capacity aluminium car bodies developed from a standardised platform, ensuring a high degree of reliability, safety and low life-cycle cost, the company said. The trains are designed for a maximum operational speed of 80kmh. They are sold as “environmentally friendly” through the use of the latest propulsion technology with low energy consumption. Their structure is up to 90 per cent recyclable. Last year, Bombardier won a US$590 million ($881 million) contract to supply 340 Movia rail cars from Delhi Metro Rail Corp. The company has won orders for 3,330 Movia cars from cities such as London and Shanghai, Bombardier said. Separately, Singapore Technologies Engineering said its electronics unit won $160 million worth of contracts from the LTA for the supply of communications system for projects including the Downtown Line. - BLOOMBERGArticle from Weekend TODAY Business Section

Bombardier's LRT SUCKS. In fact, all the LRT's in Singapore suck... The only trains with coolness in them are the 151, 651 and 751B's... Not even the NEL's Alstom trains are nice at all...... The new CCL's Alstom trains suck as well... They look un-cool and ugly... ): Looks like I'd rather choose to take buses then. :@ Let's just hope that those C151A's are from KHI or whoever except Bombardier or Alstom... Their looks suck...

Japan trains FTW! Too bad LTA goes for the cheapest and most "environmentally-friendly".
-
oh no.
by the time DTL starts, the bombardier movia will be quite an 'old' model already....
like the BPLRT, the LRTs were quite an.... ancient design by then..... same like previous changi airport skytrain..
few years later, changi airport also revamp their skytrain... BP residents stuck with the same skytrain... now...... and forever.... -
aiyo.. so many lines.. so luan.. i haben even get used to NEL.. n i take LRT once nia..
-
I don't mind Bombardier. Although they (then ADTranz, jointly owned by ABB and Daimler Benz, and used to be called Westinghouse (think it broke up into several companies)) had not provided LTA a really good system for BPLRT, they had however produced some really nice trains which are in use, such as the MTR A-Stock (which are also my favourite MTR stock, built 1998 as JV with CAF, with ADTranz GTO-VVVF propulsion), Berlin's H and HV U-Bahn stock.

You seem to have not taken the Sengkang/Punggol LRT system, that system is really nice and efficient, although SBST slowed down the trains significantly in some portions where there are switches as compared to when it just opened.
I do believe that the Westinghouse/Bombardier People Mover may not work in Bukit Panjang due to the nature of the track. ie the track was badly planned, there are stretches which should be straight but are weaves in and out (as compared to the roads parallel to the tracks), up and down (like South View-Keat Hong-Teck Whye, Bukit Panjang-Senja, Petir-Pending and at Segar). With so many unnecessary bends, it exerts more force on the single guiderail in the middle and making the system more prone to breakdowns. It seems that LTA's misplanning may had partly contributed to the breakdowns.

Possible, if the signalling system is the same and DTL is gonna be run by SMRT!

most probably SMRT. since when can a depot house another line run by a different company?

IIRC, KCD had provisions for facilities for 2 separate operations of lines... Can't remb where i saw it though...

did you mean c751B?how would you know how the c751a looks like anyway

C751A is NEL Train lah.

Alstom Metropolis C751A train. IMO the design looks quite nice anyway, just hope they run efficiently.I believe like what ^tamago^ say, a likelihood of them sharing the same signal systems, probably they run in a similar way like NSL + EWL.

if share same signal systems, then better than NEL liao. one series of train on one line very sian one...

that's if SMRT wins the tender for the operator of DTL lo...
