Was aboard CCL set 06 towards Marymount at abt 8pm today when I saw the scrolling text above displaying the below message after it departs a station:
Sch. Message. 5pm-12am, Priority 4
The scrolling text only displays this once then it is back to normal. It repeats itself everytime it departs a station.. What does the above mean anyways? :S

Weird message, must be some type of code that tells the VPIS what to do.

I check with willis, and no body have reported it on service. Set 01 and 02 also batch 1, but it also never came out on service. -

As a train fan, I would like to say that, if you know that you are gonna to hit the time limit soon, then you should try to tailgate and exit, and they will just charge you for Entry without exit, where the admin fee is $0.70. Obviously it is not legal to do this intentionally somehow, but it can happen on old faregates (EWL / NSL). NEL, CCL and LRTs? Forget it, it is more risky.

Please don't tailgate, you are gonna cause a lot of problems for the person behind you. Once someone tailgate in front of me, I paid for the person in front. Then it showed error for me. Then i went to the station office, THEY DEDUCTED MY FARE AGAIN. Then in the end, i paid 2 times =P

When I tailgate, I try to either:
1: Nobody is behind me
2: Try to have the least possible people behind me on crowded stations
This is because I dont want anybody to pull my collar / bag etc, it is so embrassing.

I think tailgate is not advisable thing to do.You will maybe lucky few few times to escape from paying but once caught,you will be in deep trouble!

Ytd onboard 123/124 from BDL as TRN 211, only 4 lights per car were on then. The rest were off, so its gonna be a very dark experience inside the tunnel. Aircon werent on too. No wonder its damm hot. Then until MRB, the TO realises he 4got to check then train, then decided to switch it on back..
It was an exclusive experience and STARIS is surprisingly on with no failures
-
Set 22 Beyond Paya Lebar Middle Platform in RM....i explain what happen again...meanwhile see my youtube for the entire video.
-
Today on BPLRT 114/110 was dam shiok. The train was on svc B when it just flew pass Phoenix station without even applying any brakes. All the pax was like WTF (was one of them)! others outside was like staring at the train fly pass. thanks to that, if not i would have been quite late for school.

There was once I alighted from WDL stn. And this little girl holded her mummy's hand and said: " Mummy, Mummy, Where are the white trains? Why I keep seeing black trains all around??"
I was quite shocked and I feel that C651s should run regularly, its useless putting them on CGL as it die die attrack the tourists and not the residents

At abt 1pm, SBS7485P smsed me that Train broke down somewhere along NSL which delayed the SB travelling.. I was at YCK when i received this sms. That I took a bus down to AMK to see the situation, I saw an overcrowding situation for ppl trying to leave AMK, causing the faregates to be packed like crazy..
Then I transfer alot of buses to BSH to see the situation.. Along the way, there are more ppl trying to wait for a cab but the queue was overcrowded as well.. Some ppl even jaywalked to Interchange and pedestrian crossing to int was not allowed then..
Then I reached bsh, i saw 349/350 waiting behind bsh SB.. Then it departed very slow, I tap in to bsh and decided to cancel off my ride when i was inside the stn as train stopped too long.. After leaving BSH for some time, I saw this sight and situation
075/076 WAS PULLING 033/034 AFTER LEAVING BSH NB AND EVEN GOING TOWARDS THE NORTH EVEN MORE.
Thus, it looks like a 12 car train to me

There are, just probably you didnt see them.
As for the little girl, she probably didnt know about the refurbishment.

They should've brought 033/034 to BSD. Wonder why they wanted to go further north..
