Back in November of this year, there has been a post on the SGTrains blog website saying that 1 C151B would be retrofitted with the latest reliability-centred capabilities as signed between SMRT and CRRC Qingdao Sifang. Most probably this train is going to China to be retrofitted with these capabilities, which are manufactured domestically in China.
hi just a qn but what does it mean by C151B modification works? is it kinda like replacement or just kinda like a checkup? If so will they repaint the C151B and (hopefully) replace STARiS 2.0 to DRMD? Thanks
Yes, both checkup and replacement of old and/or faulty compinents. Others have termed it "Mid-Life Upgrades". For the Staris 2.0 I'm not too sure, apologies about that, but personally I doubt it will be replaced to DRMD.

That explains why 703/704 was MIA
Possible. I think 703/704 is still inside TWD waiting to get fresh new parts from China.
@@tswub what about 661/662?
Same case as 703/704 if I'm not wrong.
Dude I was like: ‘wait, C151Bs are getting retired? no way!’
Then I checked rhe comments and it’s not
same, me too bro
ksf on trailers before 065 is insane
649/650 is also doing modification with 661/662 in china and this may also take a few years in china.
Welp there goes 1 of the 1 and 1/2 NSEWL sets with the old reserved seat stickers
Damn, I didn't realise that :(
And also the train head looks kinda goofy without the anti-climber lol
the other one is 510
ah the double chime fella

So once the c151b is complete and will c151C do the same?
Not sure yet. We'll wait for the official announcement from SMRT when the time comes...
Is EMU 649 also going back?
Yes! Probably later on this week or the next.
Did something wrong with 649/650
I think C830C 846 and 861 will be shipped to china for repairs
🤔
What the hell is wrong with all the China trains, lousy quality need early parts replacement?
@hotmixer2010 I guess only R151 is good lol
@@hotmixer2010 HAHAHAHA
Did you see 661 wrapped up
Nope
V8 scania. Amazing
🔥
For what?
GUESS THE C151C IS GOING TO OPERATE IN THE EAST WEST LINE
you're not the only one waiting for it :/
IT IS REFURBISHESD C651!
I wish :'(
In fact, all C651s have already been decommissioned. Don't assume that it is refurbished C651s.
Just hope it won't scrap can already, unlike refurbished SIE
Too new to scrap, would be waste of resources if that happened.
suddenly scrap then c151 on NSEWL spamming😏
661/662:
Should be in TWD still.
I believe some confused this for 661/662 before actually seeing that it was 650.
Don't know what happened to this train alr, really hope it will return one day
