This video features a KHI C151, 087/088, which is from UPD to serve NSL for the AM Rush Hours, from NS21 Newton to NS24 Dhoby Ghaut.
087/088 would first return back into UPD when it was selected from TWD to do EWL PM Peak Run 358 on 14/5/2024. Run 358 is scheduled to return the train back into UPD late at night. Unlike the last couple of attempts that 087/088 did into UPD, 087/088 would actually enter NSL on this attempt.
And even better, it was placed on a slot which enables the train to return back into BSD for the first time in 2 and a 1/2 years. The last time that 087/088 went into BSD was on 24/1/2022 when it was deployed as Run 434 (BSD Bound) for the PM Rush Hours.
The last 2 times that 087/088 ran on NSL, it only did for 1 day and return back into UPD after running the whole day on NSL before returning back to EWL the next day. Let's hope that 087/088 would get to stay on NSL even longer this round - more than 1 day on NSL (spoiler, it did!)
Welcome back onto the tracks of NSL after spending almost 3 months on EWL. Strong Motor can be heard on car 2088 A4/B4. Since 087F was leading, strong acceleration can be heard.
Note that the Tunnel Lights were activated.
