      Drivers of 506 also like that. They use Strider as F1 car. Worse if fanbelt darn loose. Worse than MK III here. Frankly speaking, MK III not that bad. Legroom also good, though acceleration is not that good, MK III is quieter, and also better in quite a lot of things compared to Strider.

      506 Express now uses Striders as main buses. MK III and MK II as sometime cameo. Can check Express Services in sgWiki if you don’t believe me. And Posts 20 odd go ppl talking about their speedsters, so I followed up. Think this topic more about speeding.

      I just came from Changi Airport, and I saw 1987Y 027 going back to HG in speeds in excess of 70km/h.

      Seating at the last row of a bendy in the hands of a reckless driver is sure gonna be the ultimate roller coaster ride. Laughing

      I thought that Sengkang depot is considered as ground level? because i read on the Alstom website that the new Circle Line depot will be the first to be underground? I’m not so sre, however…please clarify

      it can be considered underground.. cos if you stand along Sengkang East Rd, you are actually a few storeys above it, however, along Sengkang East Ave, it is on ground level, due to the slope on the roads.

      however, from Sengkang East Rd, you can see the depot, and the parked trains. its not hidden from view, so yes.. its not underground, but rather, on ground level.

      the Kim Chuan Depot, well, if u had pass by there last year, you can see how deep the place is dug into..

      NEL's trains can be seen from ground level. I think SGWIKI will help.www.sgwiki.com/wiki/Mrts
