This video features a KHI C151, 005/006, which is from UPD to serve NSL for the PM Rush Hours, from NS12 Canberra to NS14 Khatib. This video was filmed when 005/006 made its 1 day appearance on NSL, before returning back to do EWL Service the next day via the UPD Input Slots.
005/006 would first get back into UPD when it was replaced by 533/534 while doing EWL Full Day Run 124 on 20/5/2024 during the AM Rush Hours. Then, 005/006 would sleep in UPD for the remainder of the day before being deployed to run on NSL for the AM Rush Hours. Only managed to catch it for the PM Rush Hours since I went over to CGL in the morning to catch a KSFB running on that line. Looks like 005/006 has not had enough of NSL and want to run on NSL even more. But at the end of the day, it is still a non-KSF so can't complain after all.
Welcome back onto the tracks of NSL after spending almost 3 weeks on EWL. Strong Motor can be heard on car 2005 A1/B1. Also managed to ride 005/006 up to Canberra too.
Since there was a train extension tonight, there was a special schedule in place. As such, this train would return back to UPD instead of heading back into BSD like it would normally do on a weekday PM Rush Hours.

Thanks for this. I can relive my memories of when I lived there for graduate studies ❤
