- Maxson Goh Films a showcase with @sgt2581 on SMRT Singapore's new Alstom Movia R151 Trains, as well as the comeback of a missing C151A train.
Do check out Shan's channel at @sgt2581 for more Singapore MRT related content!
And now @LandTransportGuru provides more information on the trains:
The Alstom Movia R151 Train is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train procured by Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) for the North South Line and East West Line. A total of 106 trains were ordered under Contract R151 which entered passenger service on 4 June 2023.
As the seventh generation of rolling stock for the NSEWL, these R151 trains are intended to replace the three earliest generations of rolling stock that served on Singapore’s oldest metro lines, namely the C151, C651 and C751B.
An initial tender for 66 trains was awarded to Bombardier for $827.1 million on 25 July 2018, as direct replacements for C151 trains. A further 40 additional trains were announced on 28 September 2020, at a cost of $337.8 million, as direct replacements for C651 and C751B trains. The contract would be fulfilled by Alstom, who acquired Bombardier’s rail business in January 2021, with trains subsequently adopting the Alstom name (formerly Bombardier MOVIA R151, now Alstom Movia R151).
In addition to these costs, Contract R151 includes an option to provide long-term service support to the Train Operator (SMRT Corporation) for the new train fleet, covering their design life of up to 30 years. For the initial 66 trains, this contract was valued at just under $400 million (in mixed currencies); a revised figure for all 106 trains has yet to be released.
Passenger service began on Sunday, 4 June 2023, with the deployment of R151 trains on the East West Line. Read more at: landtransportguru.net/train-r...

It was really fun doing this video with you, thank you once again for having me!
I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did!
I had a great time making this video too, rest assured it won't be our last collaboration!
Nice to see two 'popular' enthusiasts doing a summary video now
Has anyone noticed that the R151 is slightly more narrow than the older trains, especially in the centre. Dosen't make a difference though
I have managed to take the R151 on the East West Line finally at Joo Koon just a few weeks ago! I heard from another TH-camr saying that the R151 would be in debut on the NSL in 2024…quite a nice train!😄😁😆
That must be ZC productions
@@Totallyangryromania Yeah…it is…I watched his videos…

0:13 That's the New Arrival Melodies for the East West Line!
Yes, I've done a video on that as well which will be posted in the future
Somehow the thing about the r151 is how smooth it is and how the ride isn’t shaky and all unlike the current 6-1st generations
It’s like it’s just sliding
I can't wait for the R151s to be deployed on the NSL. My wife uses a wheelchair and the cars with handicapped spots have become much too crowded. In another decade or so they will have to increase the number of such spots and accompanying facilities.
Amazing video! Singapore definitely changes a lot each year :)
Thanks! Indeed change is constant
i left back in 2021 and so many things have changed for sure 😭
Well done, Maxson Goh friend.
Nice I do like the new station melodies!
Reminds me of Japan
Ayo wassup Shan. Underrated collab fr.
Love the r151 trians, hope it will dubut ASAP to nsl as I would like to ride on 1 soon.
503/504 also randomly plays JUR cross over announcements, not sure if it still happens now but when it returned it certainly still had it
Ooo wow that's got to be something to look out for
I rode on that today, there’s no announcements for that
@@RhythmRides_Official ohh maybe they removed it
i noticed that when i rode on it a while ago
Managed to ride it on East west line and hearing new train announcement also L 7:18
Mmm yes the announcements are really loud!

Wait the R151 name sounds very similar to the NTT trains in New York City (R142, R143, R160, R179, R188, R211, R262, R268).
Nice. SGT2581 videos r good also
I agree, and he speaks very well too 👍🏻
As for the C151A missing for two years, it might be the last recall trainset that was repaired to fix what was reported a couple of years back.
Ooooo I had completely forgotten about that "scandal"
C851E would be the future for NEL and CCL from this year onwards
The only outdated feature is the information panel 😂
@MrTrainContents True lol, but I kind of prefered that display especially on NEL
Wait did you mean the design speed is 90km/h or that the train can actually operate 90km/h? (Ie its design speed higher than 90)
Yea I also took the r151
3:26 good prediction lol
I noticed that this particular C151A’s coasting is a bit better than the rest
0:15 i hear the Singai naadu chime
R151 Trainset 1801/1802 - 1971/1972 (106 Trainsets) Retirement of Three Generation MRT C151, C651 and C751B Trains.
You sadly Missed the C151C on EWL 😢
Bro u might reach 50k next year
How much R151 are on debut right now?
mrt goes choo choo
Not these electric ones tho mm
Wait...which is correct, 1831/1832 or 831/832? Because apparently the set numbering seems more like those on the north east lines 🤔
depends who u follow, SMRT calls it 831/832
MAXON
Who is that
Shan correctly predicted the number of R151 in service before 2024 starts!
Total of 12.
Yes
0:13 new chime
Why the north south line dont have this mrt brand with the lcd screen
So far it only runs on the east west line
MRT Jakarta is the most modern in the world!!
Guys I saw two R151 passing by Sembawang station
On test possibly?
@@glitchFan2428 they were actually returning from Bishan depot to ulu pandan depot
They use the old MRT sound
glitchFan2428, do you know about Willischong?
7:18 !!

I see you last time at around 4+ something
Inside the R151
its good to know that possibly the C151A's wont be retired
For now
Go catch L set. It’s my current R151 rep
I'll try 😂😂😁😁😅😅
Later, R151 will catch that C151a!
Went does the C151A train will gonna be refurbished by

i dont understand
Don’t think this train will last as long as our first 3 gens 😂
Lol, if they are not refurbished since C151A are very problematic (worse than C151B or even the new R151)
Siuu
