On 9/27/2024 at 5:26 PM, Vid said: Too bad then when there's no urgency to complete the replacements. That's what you get for procrastinating. Covid measures ended more than a year liao According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Heavy_Industries_C151, it will be decommissioned by 2026. No source to verify. According to https://yourstudent-gemini.fandom.com/wiki/C151#:~:text=As of July 2024%2C out,17 were decommissioned and scrapped., 17 has been scrapped. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to LTA and our paper generals, 1st gen trains were scheduled to decommission since 2021 ... question is, why 2024 still not complete?https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/newsroom/2020/6/news-releases/LTA_to_decommission_first-generation_NSEWL_trains.html Means their original write-off period was 30yrs and since then they have been sucking profit from free hardware. OR the write-off period was shorter and they've been sucking us for longer. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, Kawasaki train which had been refurbished 3 times will continue its service until replacement train arrived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a different case, when you CAPEX there is a started write-off period in the accounts. I suppose for this scale ~20yrs may be normal but any refurbishing is expected over that period as parts become obsolete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
