I remember the MTR before any barriers were installed. I used to love trains as a kid (and it till affects my decision making today, i.e. train or bus, I'd probably be biased towards the train) and I remember when I was 4 or 5, I was practising writing Chinese (traditional), so my parents told me to write a letter to MTR asking for them to put platform barriers on my local MTR station. I still remember being so happy when several months later they commenced construction of barriers right at that station, so I thought my letter went through!
Ken Lee I saw that on news. Gladly, the people made the driver to stop the train because they are saying that there is a woman fallen on the train tracks
Miss the old time on this classic train. I am happy I was born in 1993 and had some memories of this old cabin. 👍 The platform seems a bit different than the time I went to take MTR. Signage might be modernised a bit in late 90s.

Jackson Hei, I think he's saying that the old announcements sounded more energetic, the pace was much faster than those we hear nowadays. Also, the old announcements provide information for interchange (e.g. the old announcement was sth like "The next station is Admiralty, please alight on the left. Passengers for Kowloon stations, please proceed to the opposite platform no.1.", while the new announcements do not provide information for interchanging location: "Next station: Admiralty. Interchange station for the Tsuen Wan Line. Doors will open on the left."). From 1992, when the pre-recorded announcements were introduced, till now, it has been the same person recording the announcements. As years past by, she got older and her voice has been getting deeping and deeping. You may compare the announcements in this video with those made 2014 onwards (Island Line Kennedy Town - Sai Ying Pun stations, Kwun Tong Line Ho Man Tin and Whampoa stations, South Island Line stations, etc.), and you'll know the difference.
Yes. the MTR in Singapore tells the location of the platform when the commuters need to change trains, for example, "crossover to platform X for train service to X". Regarding the woman's voice, I agree with you. Her voice of latest announcements is obviously lower, especially the announcement in Kwun Tong station like "do not put your belongings on the platform gate". I met her before, and I think her voice was "treated", apparently.

I’m up to tell you guys that there aren’t a single fixed trainsets by that time, the coaches can be formed randomly and swapped if MTR wants to. So stop telling things like A103/A184 since it’s totally not the formation by that time.
Yeah man , I genuinely thought they were new trains, I honestly didn't know YOU can modify trains that easily, I suppose it depends on how the outside facade/body cladding is designed on a train.

九三年出來社會工作一年都冇，記得當時放工後六至八點至會多人，上落班時間迫人好正常，但唔似現在幾乎一日二十四小時，一星期七日都係繁忙時間，連下午三四點都好似係返工時間咁，痴線
可能多左陸客，隨時隨地都咁忙
我記得好細個嘅時侯冇幕門。。。好驚個路軌
btw鐘意段片嘅廣播，到我出世既時侯已經有煲冬瓜
幕門係1998年首次引入（東涌綫、機場快綫），到2002年中逐步擴展至其他路綫。
未有幕門時的確對乘客構成一定程度生命危險，尤其排頭位，以往除咗多次乘客跳軌自盡或意外墮軌外，亦曾有乘客被人推落路軌輾斃或輾至終身殘廢！
Now I am from Hong Kong but I can't type Cantonese, my big question is why is the comments filled with Japanese comments
