Jurong East Interchange Station - in 1991.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- This film shows trains at Jurong East Interchange Station which is on the Singapore MRT - Mass Rapid Transport - network.
At the time of filming it was served by East West line through trains (which use the outher two tracks) and trains on the short Branch Line service (which used the centre track plus two platform faces). The Branch Line was very short, consisting of just four stations.
Changes since this film was made include the Branch Line being incorporated in to the North South Line, and to improve safety by making it less likely that passengers fall on to the tracks, the platform edges have been retrofitted with half-height platform screen doors.
Dateline: March 1991

Never expect a UA-cam channel focusing on transport in London could feature my country's MRT system from an era long gone! Thanks for uploading this; this brings back memories as well as refreshing my memories on how our MRT system used to be run. I still remember those door chimes they used to use - that unfortunately got replaced with a overcomplicated announcement and buzzer, though sometimes they still use the chime, which I very much prefer.
No barriers, the smell of the tracks... memories!
Those school kids should be in their late 30's now
And the school kids of those days weren't fixated on their 'smart' phones.They were actually conversating.
My generation has really gone into reverse evolution.
The creator of this video is probably in his 50s or 60s now. He did at one point recall filming 1938 stock trains on London's Bakerloo Line as a schoolkid in the 1970s and 80s
No 40s
I’m born in the 92 getting closer and closer to my 30s
@@wongyang5460 That means at the time this video was uploaded, you were only 19 years old. Damn, time flies so freaking fast...
This anounc brings a lot of memories
The announcements are so much clearer than they are today. You can barely hear them anymore over the babble of the commuters. The faces are actually looking around, and not looking down at tiny screens!
Didn't know there were announcements in more than 1 language back then also
@@lzh4950 That was always the case.
@@sbh0892 The 1st time I can rmb taking the MRT (ard 2000) I remember the announcements were monolingual
@@lzh4950 Was it an SMRT service?
@@sbh0892 Yup SBS Transit begun operating MRT services only in 2003 onwards (& their announcements were bi-lingual)
Thank You So Much for uploading this video. I miss this a lot.
Wow. The MRT announcement used to have four languages. Awesome!
how many languages does it use today?
We can now find it in DTL and NEL. NSEWL and CCL uses only English.
good old juanita melson. also now jurong east has special announcement from EWL
@@CitytransportInfoplus 3. Now they talk in Malay Chinese and English. They used to have Tamil
@@sutrblx5546 they still have Tamil tho
WTF 1991.Im not even born and yet the scenery of this video looks like it was quite recent ago.
I was 2 years old at the time
Me neither. I was born in 1998
The past was not crowded at all WOW!!😱
ah but please remember that I made a point of avoiding the rush hours! Knowing what rush hours are like in London I realised that its not possible to see the train when it is stuffed to the gills like the proverbial tin of sardines.Some of my filming was late in the evening - even after 10pm.Simon
+CraftHunterGaming - Elevators and Trains (Ong)
there were no elevators until 2000-2006
only the staff-only elevators (evans) were there.
***** ah yes. But I don't know current status of the Evans elevator in Jurong East station.
1990s: Evans Leichester
2000-2006: Toshiba
2011: Otis Gen2
2014/15: Refurbishment of Toshiba - Red to Green fixtures.
***** where?
***** ok
thanks for uploading this,if not i will never see the old stations/trains look like :P
+I Know U Wanted
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I Know U Wanted ik i miss the times when there aint platform screen doors
@@WASIURPA Same, they may prevent suicide on rails but they're just ugly, and besides anyone can hop off a typical 11 storey hdb
@@Triadii it's because one school girl got her legs crushed from an oncoming train
@@Triadii hmmm, would you want safety or would you want looks
I was borned in 1994. And yes i have ride the old c151 before. It's cool tbh! I really like the old c151. I'm gonna miss you old c151.
youre 30 and have a english of a 60 lol its born
So empty. Unlike now the trains are alwaays crowded
fadzable not really. This was offpeak. Peak hour still pretty ceowded and worse, we didnt have those barriers. Anyone can fall onto the tracks when it got real crowded!
I miss the old red and white livery of SMRT
FlameKiller find the C651
Icki Cheetah24 Simple, C651 have green display for train number and they have a blue-green tint for windows
FlameKiller oh
The White Colour Train Livery Has Been Running For 3 Decedes And A Year Now Since 1987,It Is The Largest Train Colour Livery To Be Running In Singapore Including The Unrefurbished C151 Trains.
I still see them sometimes
i was 17....sweet 17. those were the days
Woodlands extension was opened in the mid 90s. If i recall, it should be in 1996, who was opened by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. Train were really not so crowded more than 20 years ago. Haiz
Thanks. Although I’m not a 90s kid, I still enjoy it.
Unfortunately it's going to be scrapped
It's reminder me of the past
@ All those who have questions about the rolling stock: Read this and stop commenting about it once and for all.
In this video, only unrefurbished C151s are seen. C651s only came in 1994 a few years after this video was filmed.
The four official language interchange announcement are back after more than 10 years!
Now the announcements are only in English. Having announcements at all must have been so cool back then. Now it’s so mainstream we expect it.
making announcements in four languages was possibly seen as 'too much', because to fit them all in they have to start a long way from the station.
On the SBS lines(none of which existed at the time) some are in all 4 and others only English. The transfer info would be shortened as the branch line is now part of the NS.
@@CitytransportInfoplusatleast it makes tourist feel easier for them. Especially if the tourists are from india china and malaysia.
their langauge isnt east as english is so common and one of the easiest languages. its not indian its tamil. each sq m of india has its own language. it feels much comfotable to me to have english annocunements because im not the boomers who like their language and think english is hard.
@Silverhedgehog1000
As well as C751A, C830 and the upcoming C951 that serves the North-east Line, Circle Line and the future Downtown Line, respectively.
C951 alr debut at 2013
why now the interchange station didn't have four language
Brian Ngan they probably were like nah just put one would do
Oh look I found my comment here that was plotted 9 months ago
Brian Ngan idk
But now Botanic Gardens the station name is said in four languages for the DTL
@timothythamen They were refurbished. The black colour is actually a sticker and not paint. Since all C151s are refurbished, C651 is currently the only NSL-EWL train with a white body.
Since 2017 Onwards,C651 Is No Longer The Only White Generation Trains To Be In Operation,C151B/C151C And CR151 Trains Will Have Full In White To Be In Operation.
@eXAKR Hi there, I am a citizen of planet earth who just happens to live in London. I also have films from Canada, Australia, America and Europe. Not just London!
Simon
Do u have New York Metro vids?
I use this MRT interchange to travel from Clementi to woodlands. Ngl,it still looks the same after more than 31years.
@jodan977 At that time only C151s were around. C651s first came out in 1994 (if I'm not wrong)
@citytransportinfo These trains have been refurbished and the station codes have been changed.The announcement voice has changed.Jurong east station code is EW24 and NS1
I was Born in 1994,and I really Miss The Old MRT sounds...
in 94 I was 5 yrs old
22 years later.
That was long before i was born...
@artbbrain Yes, thanks.
@videopost987 Not necessarily. For example, "Next station, Clementi." is announced in English only. When the train is approaching an interchange, "Passengers who are continuing their journey towards...........please crossover to platform...on the right/left." is announced in English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil.
@citytransportinfo
yes C651 is a type of train in Singapore there are four types C151,C651,C751B and the brand new C151A just went into commercial service
yes woodland extention was open in 1996. i was 20yrs old in 1996.
u are 20 in 1996 which mean's u were born in 1976 rite
and 48. almost boomer age
@giggslimws Neither did I. The Branch Line consists of Jurong East, Bukit Batok, Bukit Gombak and Choa Chu Kang. These 4 stations have been merged with the North South Line.
@citytransportinfo
You are right that time you record it there was only one type C151 then in 1994 C651 arrived to Singapore from siemens (looked similar to C151) then when it came to 2000 C751B was delivered to singapore from Kawasaki and Nippon sharyo and now Kawasaki built a new type of train for the Singapore subway the C151A
damn we can see jurong east with no platform A (from 2011) and jurong east is quite empty even though its an interchange station in the past.
i think it was mentioned in a comment by the person who uploaded this video that he recorded the video during non -peak hour
lol even non-peak hour now is like as crowded as peak hour
@@-Dhan0_6- not really ,peak hours even more haha 😂
@videopost987 Yes but the transfer details are announced in four languages while the next station announcement is announced in English.
@citytransportinfo it's really bad now. like during non-rush hours the people on the train would be double of this, but not as bad as japan or china though.
NOW JURONG EAST NUMBER CODE WAS EW24 AND NS1.THE NORTHERN TERMINAL OF THE NORTH SOUTH LINE
1991? That was way before I was born! (Born in 1992 btw)
1yr is waay before? im born after 2010 oldie
Got new platform at Jurong East interchange you know???
@justinpeng1998
Are they really that busy 'off peak'? I avoided the rush hours when filming the trains in Singapore.
@joeyfjj At least 4 more films from Singapore to come... :-)
This train sounds as the same as Tokyo Metro 03 & 05 series armature chopper control
It's sad to see the first generation being scrapped
not even one train carriage being retained for a museum?
@@CitytransportInfoplus idk about that one but I hope they preserve them.
0:09 announcement bell sounds nice
notice.. the old monorail announcement and old MRT announcement (english) was th same person!
@FunkyMark4211 middle aged more like... its only 20 years since I filmed this.
@andrewlohrox dunno why yr msg was flagged as spam - seemed sensible to me!
anyway, Jurong West, sorry no. Other Singapore in 1990's?
Yes, at least 4 more :-) Another MRT film and the first (of two) from Sentosa coming within a few hours. Do you remember the old monorail??? Simon
@xbluezx23 gets like this in London on some of the Underground lines.
@jtzq333 sorry, I dont remember... long time ago!
Anyway, what's the frequency for the trains on east west line at that time?
all are C651
ah, the good old days...
I was 2 yrs old in 1991
Cool.
@kelvinickable that is some DAMN short pants o-o
@timothythamen Yes. C651s only came in 1994.
@jodan977 Those are unrefurb C151s. C651s only came in 1994.
Now there’s platform A and B which it didn’t have before
yes, and platform edge gates / doors too!
Wait did it already have ABCD but it changed to CDEF and added AB or was it always CDEF
They used numbers back then. Before the signage change in 2001. (Eg. Platform A used to be Platform 1, platform b used to platform 2 etc..)
2:10 OLD YUHUA SECONDARY SCHOOL UNIFORM!
2:10
@AdielRusyaidi And the C751As on the NEL...
Do you have a video that has C651 in the 90s
there were probably no c651s or c751bs at that time
Nope.Between 1987 And 1994,Only Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151 Trains Were Operating.Siemens C651 Was Introduced In 1994 While Kawasaki Heavy Industries C751B Was Introduced In 2000.
And now we have 6 different train models serving these two lines. The uploader is a Londoner, so if he were to visit again 27 years on, he'd be stunned - fleet standardisation is a very big thing in London, where each of the 11 lines are served by only one train model (they may soon have 8 lines being served by only 2 train models)
@mdzulkar9 In those days many school boys wore their uniform with really really short pants, it was somewhat like a trend then.
2:32 Door Closing Sounds Like C151A Batch 2.
I love MRT 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Note how the students were acting back then compared to today's students.
The announcement also sounded better,in my opinion.
Why do I have to live my teenage years through such a(pardon me)shitty era(the late 2010s),I would've been living the life if I was born in the mid-late 80s
Our culture has changed - people think differently, some for the better and some for the worse.
But please don't feel bad about living now and not then, as the coming years will see new technologies that will astound you - and everyone else.
thonk about the pros and advantage , think about what you might complain als if u were living at those times , who knows 😂
u might also be hoping to be born at the current generation u r currently living at 😂
Now more of these trains long after refurbishment are to be headed for scrapyard.
So, I'm guessing only Jurong East had Juanita melson annnouncements back then?
it was cool... Four languages, but now, mrt no more four languages... alamak!
nice memories:)
Jurong East [D]
@Silverhedgehog1000 Is a "C651" a type of train?
This was my only visit to Singapore with a camcorder, and I think that at that time there was only the one type of train.
Simon
Yes C651 has the same livery as the train that u saw which is the unrefurbished C151 but both are gonna retire by 2022
RIP ms. melson
who is ms melson
@@Goodbye2007 the old announcer
Platform A
Next station NS2 Bukit Batok
@FunkyMark4211 20 years later...
I was born in 2004,and I didn't get a chance to take the Branch Line
Changed to North South Line.
Me Too.And I Only Started Recording Videos Since December 2017.
It merged on 10 Feb 1996
@augpeh you mean clementi?
no woodlands extension
Thats the unrefurbished C151 train without the SMRT sign at the face
2:20 A rude and naught student kicking the MRT door should have gone to jail...
He should be apprehended and scolded, but jailed? Lol no!
jail seems a bit extreme, he didn't do it that hard
He did not I looked closer
Ahhhh...back when people arent idiots and know what it means to stand behind the yellow lines.
It should be next station
“Never call a Woman fat son, Body shaming is bad”
“Okay dad, you’re fat”
Why there are Soooo any fuhua primary school students
Screen doors not required in the 90s. Singaporeans were more well behaved back then.
@jtzq333 6 minutes. last time still dont have c751B,c151A n c651
ding dong.. ding dong.. ding dong...
No announcement At 2:29?
Announcements are only introduced in 1994 slowly. I remember door closing was around Late-1990s
Why does the train look like a Siemens C651
It's before refurbishment.
Oh its even before the C651 debut
Before Siemens c651 is on Plane
Can I help with it's contrast to 2013?
Can I help with its contrast to 2017 as well?
You can ask Annabel Lim or some other people who have knowledge.
Timothy Altrinch I have the same knowledge. so It doesn't matter
So many C151
UNREFURBISHED C151 [1987]
Today The Branch Line Is now the North South line
Thanks, yes, and it has another platform here - plus all platforms have platform edge doors!
I born this year
Probably from chinese garden station
Nvm
Before Bukit Panjang LRT
this was filmed before BPLRT opened
@FunkyMark4211 ......
very simple and not so nice compared to now
