Yewheng Twincharged April 25, 2016 Share April 25, 2016 Power traction fault again? And its the 2ND time that involves both north-south and east-west line together. How long more they want to deny that the root of the problem still not found. If root of the problem is not found, not matter what solution that come out ( thinking that might be the cause of the problem) will not solve anything one. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yewheng Twincharged April 25, 2016 Share April 25, 2016 (edited) think KBW said it will take about 4-5 years of upgrades to decouple this power thing.Ya, but then why 10yrs ago no such problem? Think about it.. The newer batch of train are a lot heavier then the older batch. It's about 1/3 of the passenger load heavier.. ( remember reading an article about the newest batch of train being heavier by about 1/3 of the passenger load) So imagine, population size increase, okay we can't control how many people go into the train. So train gets more crowded as compared to 10yrs ago.. Fine.. But we can control the weight of the train.. They can order train made of lighter material. Lighter train also more cost friendly as no need so much power to run as compared to heavier train. So combination of the 2, train weight plus increase in passenger load.. You all say leh.. So that also explains why the 2 major breakdown happens in evening time, where train are at full load.. Think that past the major peak load factor lor. That's my guessing..
