Hi there once again, welcome back to Kitaro62 Trains Blog.
I’m posting a blog now, which is to share my experience on one of the worst MRT Service Disruption, which happens on the North-South Line (NSL).
First of all, I heard of the MRT Disruption at 5.45pm, when I’m still having dinner. However, it gotten worse since 6pm. So, I left Orchard Rd in a hurry and all the MRT Faregates were closed. Then, I walk to the bus stop along Orchard Boulevard, it seemed to be worst.
To no avail, I rushed down to Orchard Road and grab a bus to either Dhoby Ghaut or City Hall. This is because I needed to rush home.
At Orchard Rd, crowds became so tense that everybody is entering the bus through the back door! I managed to board the arriving bus. However, Orchard Rd seemed to clog up. Many commuters were frustrated (including me) to board the bus as the MRT was down. Commuters were mad and they boarded the bus through the back door.
Most commuters taking bus alighted at Dhoby Ghaut instead. However, I stayed on till City Hall, where I can take the East-West Line (EWL) train home.
At City Hall, I’ve seen train stabilised at the NSL platform as NSL was suspended at the time being. Staff announcement keep telling commuters to take the free Shuttle bus. I took a quick video at City Hall, as the NSL aside seem to be quieter.
At Outram Park, the EWL train started to be crowded as well. This is because commuters took North-East Line (NEL) from Dhoby Ghaut. No seats were catered for them. Disruption announcement were played telling everyone that there is no train service between Ang Mo Kio and Marina South Pier Stations.
Once at Jurong East, all trains were terminating at Ang Mo Kio till today, 1352h.
The reason why NSL was totally disrupted, is because the tunnel was flooded between Bishan and Braddell Stations. And also the track fire between Raffles Place and Marina Bay Stations. This caused 1 train to completely stall.
My experience is that frustrating, as I took 2h 30 mins to reach home, instead of the usual 1h. Trains and buses were
SMRT, Please maintain the system well. I don’t want major incident to happen like this again.

The current state of a Trainspotter
Hello guys, welcome back here! I'm sorry for not actively blogging as I'm that busy frequently with matters concerning me the most. I would like to thank you for supporting my YouTube channel 'Transportation in Singapore' and Facebook page 'MRT Singapore Service Information'. Your support has been encouraging to me and I'll make sure you'll get a good chance of my MRT train videos first. However, I'm in the state of depression recently that it gutted my feelings badly.
Recently, my schoolwork is getting hell a lot, because there are examinations coming up and I need to divert some focus on there. But 2 weeks ago, there are a few ex-friends of mine, laterally hurt my feelings alot. This was because they hurt my feelings by saying "my name, f*** you". I felt so bad because I just talking to another person about that matter, but it sparked my feelings and broke me down hell a lot, just like the past months of North-South Line signalling problems.
From there on, I told my trusted adultwhat's that matter and from there on, I immediately cut-off my friendship with them, because I felt that they shouldn't be trusted anymore.
I won't mind if I will relate the C151 and C751B as a human being to me, as I favour them the most and I need something in my imagination.
So, I ran to the MRT station in the rain and C751B 349/350 pick me up and send me home. I feel that that train knows what I'm up to till today. So, I managed to (rant) myself over the traction motor sound, as the C751B traction motor is the best way for me to vent off all my frustrations. I feel that the ride home is awesome to me as it is honestly, a good train to ride back and the train is being hardworking.
Then, on 19 August, I took the night train off from Choa Chu Kang. C151 039/040 decided to look for me and takes me for a ride to Bt Gombak. I see the night is falling and the sky is turning dark soon. So, I feel like (crying) in the train as if I want to relieve all my negative feelings away. After that, C751B 339/340 (349/350 buddy), came to Bt Gombak and take me home.
About a week ago, another shit came back again by the same group of ex-friends. This time they scolded me off for nothing and I don't even bother to entertain them! Who give a damn to those who don't even bother about my feelings. I feel myself, better to be 'anti-social' in school now and I would look up to the C151, C651 and C751B. This is because they have done enough shit to me!
So, I went to the same MRT station again and 349/350 picks me up again. This time, it cheered me up with its best traction motor sound and gives me a freedom to rant off all my frustrations. I feel that 349/350 really understand me well and it would come to me whenever I faced relationship problems with my friends.
Today, another shit happens! Now, they are cursing me for nothing and wants to reverse what I've done to make myself comfortable. I feel that this is completely unacceptable and I want them to learn the hard way, so they understand how I feel if they put themselves into the shoe of mine. Yes, completely unacceptable and it is freaking bad to see this and hurts my feeling as well. I feel that enough is enough. So, I've no choice, but to head down to the MRT station again and 349/350 sent it's great buddy, 319/320 to me. 319/320 takes me home so as 349/350 did.
Overall, I would like to thank 039/040, 319/320, 339/340 and 349/350 to take my negative feelings away through the traction motor sound and your great ride. Without you, I would have gone from this world already because my negative thoughts has triggered my mind.
To keep myself moving, I'll make sure every week, there would be a train videos from me, for you to watch. This is to make sure I'm still supporting my 7 years of hobby, being a trainspotter. Soon, I'll be looking forward to my Favourite course once I managed to clear all my hell work successfully. Till the next time, see you soon!
Best regards,
Kitaro Fong
