IMMEDIATE RELEASE
This video features an Alstom Movia R151, 801/802, which is from TWD to serve EWL for the PM Rush Hours, from EW28 Pioneer to EW26 Lakeside.
After 801/802 was last seen conducting its final stages of testing by doing mainline EWL during the daytime on 5/5/2024, and another night test on 18/5/2024, 801/802 would make its debut on the East-West Line as the last TWD PM slot for the weekend!
Honestly was expecting 801/802 to debut next week since the pattern was 1 month before a new R151 debut, but it took less than 3 weeks to debut in Revenue Service!
801/802 is also the 21st R151 to debut in Revenue Service on NSEWL! And 801/802 is the successor of 001/002, which has retired a long time ago.
Just so happened that 801/802 debuted on EWL, while 839/840 debuted on NSL on the same day. Initially supposed to run as Run 322, but then would see a swap with 545/546 to Run 304 and would be returning back into UPD tonight instead. 1st day of service and it is already going into UPD...
