Now, orange is used again, for the Circle Line.

I remember that too. I guess this booklet was printed before the change went into effect.
Anyway, here are 2 more pictures of the fares and travel times when the MRT first started running.
-
just to add on, the Choa Chu Kang Line (B1-B3) had only 3 trains serving it (off-peak). needless to say, they were hardly full (at least, the times when i took it)
-
btw.. just a few years back before the refurbishment excercise of the 1st-gen trains, anyone remembered a 4-carriage train? not for passenger service of course.. Always saw them transporting some small machines to Marina Bay Station.. the trains turns around at AMK from the Bishan Depot..
then, whenever passing by on CTE, can always spot this particular 4-carriage train... -
The 4-car trains are money trains. :D Oh yea, 3 trains serving the Branch Line (B) is already enough. You see the CGL, 3 trains (during peak) at a freq of around 4 min is enough.

Last time the announcement was 'ting tong.. ting tong.. ting tong' without the 'doors are closing' and the 'toot toot toot toot toot'
The C151 were not delivered with automatic voice announcements, and had to rely on the bell for almost a century. The bell is still available for use, particularly you can hear them at peak busy stations as secondary warning.

Some announcements were in four languages, broadcast at one go.

I remember tat EW lines has 2 terminated points over at the east, one is Pasir Ris (current) and Changi Airport (discontinued) and at that time I think the middle platform wasnt use or there is an addional to it. correct me if I am wrong... and that time no need to alight at tanah merah mrt to change train and i've to see well which train terminates at changi airport which train terminates at pasir ris. I think this was around 2002-2004?
