in BSD, track 45 to 52 are the parking area beside CTE, you will need to take bus 857 from Boon Keng MRT to see it from there, otherwise by private car or taxi to see it.. Usually there will be one or 2 trains not operating during peak hours just to occupy there..
A mass parking track beside Bishan St 13 HDB flats and the KCP sch, are meant for 2 trains to be placed at one track alone.. It soan from whatever digit until track 41
Track 45 to 53 you mean. On weekends there would be 6 trains parked there =P

In an e-mail reply from SMRT Corp, it read that:
1) 215/226 is termed as "cross-coupled" rather than "miscoupled"
2) When C651s are refurbed, the white exterior wil be kept.
3) STARIS will be closely monitored in C151s.Source:
...Thank you for your feedback.
Thank you for highlighting on the cleanliness of the Siemens trains. In future, we would greatly appreciate if you could give us the train number of the trains you would like to feedback.
We have taken note of your suggestion to keep the white livery during the refurbishment of the Siemens trains.
With regard to your feedback on the coupling of EMU 215 - 226, the term we called it is cross-coupling instead of miscoupled. Cross-coupling is necessary for us to meet with the high demand for trains to be in service in the mainline and also to upkeep our maintenance programme to give the commuters a pleasant journey. Please be assured that cross-coupling will not affect the train performance and most importantly its safety.
As for the Staris, please be assured that our maintenance department will monitor the condition closely to ensure that they are working.
We appreciate your valuable feedback and observations in this regard.
Yours sincerely...

No wonder that's what happened to C651 215/226 and 216/225. btw, did you ask them about where is 216/225?

Did you know...
- RATIS will not show advertisements before 6 AM, and from 12 AM onwards?
- During train extensions, the last train will not be recognised by RATIS. It just simply shows the train as a normal train despite it being the last train. Announcements will still play however.

cheat people one. you know, you see the unrefurb train entering, then after that you see a train being 'bombed', you see a curve, proving its after MRB, and the TRN, showing its a C651.

Well, regular commuters won't see a difference since both are white trains. I bet even if a C751B was used in the later part it'd be of no difference to them too.

No lor, it looked like going down to CGA or sort. (The terrorist take a train on CGA, alighted @ expo, by right the train should go to TNM, but somehow, the train bombed on the opposite direction --- lol, now shuttle train, he waited so long for about 15mins??)

for CGA tunnel entrance, the train goes straight for a distance then turns to the right instead of immmidiately turning left.
