13177 Hypersonic April 11, 2016 Share April 11, 2016 today i am very grateful to SMRT for giving me a free 15mins sauna due to aircon breakdown in the train packed with people normally i would have to pay $200 a month to join a club to get steam bath Air-con breakdown? You can opt to take another train ma, no need to sauna de, lol. Unless the train breakdown and got stuck somewhere, then you have no choice but to sauna in the train. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olfactophilia or osmolagnia is a paraphilia for, or sexual arousal by, smells and odors emanating from the body, especially the sexual areas.[1] Etymologies: olfactophilia (Latin=olfacto, to smell, pertaining to the sense of smell, and Greek=philia, love); osmolagnia (Greek=osme, smell, and lagneia, lust). Sigmund Freud used the term osphresiolagnia in reference to pleasure caused by odors.[2] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Hypersonic April 13, 2016 Share April 13, 2016 LRT train breaks down between Segar and Fajar LRT stations -- and needs other train to push it forward An LRT (Light Rail Transit) train broke down between Segar and Fajar LRT stations yesterday evening (April 11). A Stomper alerted Stomp to the incident via WhatsApp. She said: "At about 9.50pm the old LRT single train with passengers got stuck in the middle of the track between Segar LRT Station & Fajar LRT Station. "It was stuck for about 20 minutes. "The old LRT Train could only reverse towards Segar LRT Station but was unable to move forward. "In the end, the new double-carriage LRT Train pushed the old single-carriage LRT Train forward. "Earlier in the morning at about 4am, I saw a few technicians walking on the track, taking pictures with flash. "It was the flash of the camera that drew my attention because I thought it was an ambulance opposite my block." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic April 13, 2016 Share April 13, 2016 At least they did not ask the passengers to help push the LRT train.... THAT I say will be the ultimate...

Blueray Hypersonic April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 Panel lists safeguards to avert MRT glitches A panel of electrical experts has put forward no fewer than 40 recommendations to make Singapore's rail network more resilient. Roped in four months ago, the panel of 13 experts - four of them from overseas - said these recommendations should be carried out as soon as possible to minimise power-related glitches - a major cause of rail breakdowns here. The urgent recommendations include more frequent inspections of assets and replacement of components, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said yesterday. The panel also called for new monitoring technologies, and tighter control of manufacturers and contractors at the design and building stages. For instance, the panel said that the third rail of the North-South and East-West lines should be inspected every six months until it is replaced. It said components which are critical to operations should be considered for replacement within five years of reaching the end of their lifespan. The panel also recommended certain components such as switches and circuit breakers be replaced with more reliable models. It suggested that exercises be conducted to test operational response measures, in case there is a repeat of previous power-related incidents - like the one on July 7 last year that paralysed the entire North-South and East-West lines. For future MRT lines, the panel said, measures must be in place "to ensure tighter specification and quality control on the contractors and manufacturers". It cited the Circle Line's power cables, which failed within the first several months of operation. The panel recommended the use of new technologies, such as an intelligent fault identification system to pinpoint exact fault location. It also called for "extensive usage of energy storage to ride through voltage dips". It added that online real-time thermal imaging equipment should be installed in substations to detect heat build-up in key components. In recent months, circuit breakers had caught fire at an MRT station and the Bukit Panjang LRT. The LTA said it would adopt all the urgent recommendations, adding that some were already in place in newer lines. For instance, the Downtown and Thomson-East Coast lines were designed with intelligent fault identification systems as well as devices which isolate power trips so that they do not affect an entire line. Other recommendations, such as more frequent inspections of key components and timely asset replacements, were among those listed by the 2012 Committee of Inquiry. For the longer term, the panel called for a power system design that will have a downtime of not more than five minutes, and where full recovery can be obtained within 20 minutes. http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/panel-lists-safeguards-to-avert-mrt-glitches cheaper, faster, better ... sigh ... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Hypersonic April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 Don't know how many breakdowns we still need to endure and go through by the time all these recommendations are in place and running well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 hope this panel give specific recommendations that are not published rather than the ones we are reading now. The red highlighted points are very general and in essence don't really need a panel of very expensive expert panels to tell us. How frequent is more frequent? Which specific newer and more reliable models are you talking about? Which new techology are you talking about specifically? How to have tighter control of manufacturers and contractors?

13177 Hypersonic April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 yesterday I hear new report, got 1 line ( forget wat colour to wat colour ) break a record of 100 days without distrubance (but we dun know the detail, how many mins delay is consider 1 ) but maybe, just maybe, we will see better mrt service in the future. It is NS line. They marked 100 days without any major breakdown, and they are very proud of the achievement cause NS line is the oldest line here, and yet they can achieve such result! Looks like now they term it as no major breakdown means their system is in good health condition. Even there are 100 small breakdown also doesn't matter?! ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
