[SMRT] 36 Years of NSEWL - All 7 Generations of MRT Trains at EW10 Kallang

Filmed on 6th November 2023

Today on the 7th of November, we celebrate 36 years since the first sector of our MRT rail network in Singapore opened, back in 1987. Back then, there was only one rolling stock, which was the Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151, and only 5 MRT stations, Toa Payoh, Braddell, Bishan, Ang Mo Kio and Yio Chu Kang.

Fast forward 36 years, there are now 7 different trains running on NSEWL for passenger service, it really shows how much our network has expanded and the number of trains we have.

In chronological order;
Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151, Siemens Aktiengesellschaft C651, Kawasaki Heavy Industries & Nippon Sharyo C751B, Kawasaki Heavy Industries & CSR Qingdao Sifang C151A, Kawasaki Heavy Industries & CRRC Qingdao Sifang C151B, Kawasaki Heavy Industries & CRRC Qingdao Sifang C151C and Alstom Movia & CRRC Changchun R151.

SGT2581 Announcement: With LTA announcing the retirement of the First, Second and Third Generation Trains in Singapore, (Kawasaki Heavy Industries Contract 151, Siemens Aktiengesellschaft C651 and Kawasaki Nippon Sharyo C751B), both of us will be filming more of these trains on both NSL and EWL, to commemorate the great service that these trains have provided.
