You know how to inform the staff?

Go to the Station's Passenger Service Counter and ask for permission from the staff.

I just took pics and vids of 003/004 before its ad removal. What's "significant" is that at that time, there were 2 CSOs on the platform, they saw me and i thought i will get into serious trouble, but instead, they smiled and say "Go ahead, anyway, this train and another one(007/008) will have their advertisements removed in some time".
Btw, coming this june hols, i will also sign up as Friends of SMRT.

They are not the only friendly CSOs. i encountered several on CCL, NSL and EWL and they will always say "go ahead, as long as you do not film what we are doing in the train cab."

They only said "another train" not 007/008.
Originally posted by yellowflip999:They only said "another train" not 007/008.
But the original post by other forumers did mention of 007 / 008. Well, so it has 2 possibilities
1: CSO said that word 007 / 008
2: That was his speculation, given that the Sony Bravia Ad was already there for quite some time liao.
So can ask permission? LOL, i was caught at Boon Lay by a staff, kept whistling when i wanna videocam train departing.
I see that the staffs in the West are rather strict, but if i wan random recording, must approach all the control offices of the srtations? That is troublesome. What i think is that when there is no CSO patrolling , record fast and get into a train. Thats wad i suggest for train enthus as i recorded a Do not Board train bypass without getting caught this morning, but yest, i was so "suay" for peak hr recording.

I doubt they said "007/008", they only said "another train", and the leos added the (007/008) for reference only.
In all, unless there is really a need to film, do not film trains.

Orchard MRT station targeted by terrorists
JAKARTA: A senior Indonesian police investigator revealed yesterday that Singapore was a potential target for extremist groups in Indonesia and they had singled out the Orchard MRT station.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, he told The Straits Times that the Orchard station had been circled on a map of the MRT network found in the home of a terror suspect killed last week.
'Singapore obviously is a target. They planned to enter Singapore through Malaysia,' said the official, who has been involved in several high-profile counter-terrorism raids in Indonesia.
Dear train enthusiasts, train fans, and the general public,
PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD ANY TRAIN MEDIA UNLESS YOU HAVE PRIOR PERMISSION TO DO SO BY SMRT AND SBS TRANSIT STAFF. This is due to the suspected planned terrorist attack at Orchard Station. Any video uploads without knowledge of staff may cause suspicion in you helping the terrorists.
Thank you.
