hihi, i dunno anyone can confirm this message,

but, i have an eye witnesses that says a 2G (C651) train (White colour train) is inside the Bishan Deport, with diver seat gone, almost like 1G (c151) refurbished to 1R (C151 refurbished) situation.

Well, will C651 possbily be on the list to be refurbished?

for me, as I'm residing at Simei & to avoid the boarding crowd on EB at CTH, I would normally board a train at CTH to RFP then go up a level & board the train there instead..

likewise if I were to go to Woodlands for example, I would normally alight at RFP, go up a level & board the train from there instead but if I were to "joyride", I'll alight at RFP, cross over to board the train to MRB then from there to Woodlands..

reason... its getting very hard and difficult to board the Nb trains as still got thousand left stood at NB platform and unable to get in....and its horrendous.. trains ad therefore in delayed in departing out the station.... for me if i want to board the NB, i will go to SB which is below and after the train terminate at marina bay... and will move northwards... lack of trains on nsl btw...

oh...the 4 car train as a result of the major accident at Clementi..

Anyway, the train you got on was 301/302, a C751B train... The 3 prefix was the Train Car Number.
