Miscellaneous

It has been years since anyone even visited here. I will upload pictures of trains soon (hopefully).

Recent events:

Sat (03/10) - Normal camp, all 5 of us present. JUR finally got some PSDs. Strangely, one of 057/058's doors didnt open. 025/026 was the AST today. There was a track fault near JUR, and 049/050 and 231/232 turnd back at probably Yew Tee.

Thur (08/10) - Onboard 339/340 from ALJ to PSR. After leaving TNM, I stood up to move arnd and saw Jeremy! He was heading PSR as well, and had boarded from TNM. What a small world - 6 carriages in a train, and many stns, the probablity was just so small and yet we met. How amazing.

Nice weekend

On Friday, we went to visit BSD after meeting at CTH at about 3pm. 3/5 of us were in sch uniform :D On the walk twrds BSD, Willis and wenjie were walking especially slow :P Outside BSD, we identified a 3-carriage car (343) through its "100 Plus" ad, and it was moving! 1st time seeing this happening! I left Bishan at 5.20pm, waited for svc 53 for 10mins, then had a 1h06min bus ride home (didnt expect it to be SO long) !

Next day, we went for our usual Sat camp. Jeremy arrived 1st (at 12.45! we intended to meet at 1.30pm) and i arrived 2nd, at ~1.25pm. Willis and Kevin were late, and arrived almost simultaneously (1 train apart), and Wenjie had smth to attend, so he didnt join us. Sadly, NO new STARIS train...

New Discovery!

During my morning camp, I tried staying 1 hour 50 mins to test if the limit of all stations is 2 hours. In the end, I tapped out at 1 hour 55 minutes, and I didn't overstay! I tried to tap out of Jurong East after 1 hour and guess what, I didn't overstay!

This, therefore, proved that all stations has a limit of 2 hours.

Morning train camp on 08/09/09

Willis arrived earliest, at 7.55am on the crossover train. Wenjie arrived on the next crossover train. I arrived late by 20mins, at 8.20am due to some miscalculation of timing. EWL frequency was superb...2 mins all the way til ~9.45am! NSL on the other hand, started having occasional 6min frequencies at ~9am. In total: 52 EWL trains!!! In all my time as a train fan, I've had never reached the big "5""0" in all my spottings!

We are planning to go again on Friday, but it isn't confirmed.

No Train Rides For Now

As the title says, none for now. Will update this train forum when there is any.

3 train enthusiasts sick.

Kevin, 11-18, and myself.
I hate the sneezing + sore thorats...very irritating. To put it shortly, getting sick is not fun at all.
Sigh...can't go train camping with Willis and the other guys going. Well, i guess that next available Saturday would be 23rd August (which is a long time away!)
