[CGL Debut] SMRT ALS R151 Set 153/154 [Batch 2] Full Round Trip On The Changi Airport Branch Line

Date Filmed: 29 August 2026 As More Of The Final Few R151 Trains Were Set To Finish The Testing Phase, The New Trains Were Near The Full Completion Of Full Passenger Service. Actually At First, The New 106 R151 Trains Would Fully Be In Service By End Of 2026 But Since There Is Already 1 More R151 Trainsets To Yet The Debut, It Seems Like All 106 Would Finish Hopefully In September Or October Because I Have No Idea Yet As I Can't Guess The Date For The Trainsets Debut. Before The Trains Were In Service Back In June 2023, There Was Only About 3 R151 In Service In June 2023 and Then More Of The R151 Number Have Increased To Every 1 Since The New R151 Trains Would Roll Out 2 Trains In One Month Each. Although I Didn't Keep Seeing This Because Last Time I Could Not Get Much Train Spotting But I Finally Now Could See The Trainsets Properly Since I Can Become Train Enthusiast For My Favourite Hobby. With 105 New R151 Trains Were Being Operated In Passenger Service, R151 Set 165/166 Is The Only Trainset To Be Left For Debut. It Is Unknown When The R151 Set 165/166 Would Hence Debut Since It Is Going To Be The End Of August 2026 Already and I Would Really Think That The R151 Set 165/166 Would Debut In September 2026 But Not Sure Which Date Of September 2026 Because I Can't Really Choose Or Set It. The Reason Was Because Back In 2024, The New R151 Trains Were Have To Speed Up The Debut Process Due To The Train Derailment Ever On 25 September 2024 Which Lead To All The C151 Trains To Be Grounded. So, There Were 30 R151 Trains In Service At That Time Which Before In September 2024, About Only 20 R151 Trains Were In Service Since August 2024 If I Could Go Back To Time Since That Time There Were Different Rolling MRT Stocks Running. While Ever The R151 Batch 2 Trainsets Have Always Have Issues Like Playing The Door Obstruction Announcement, The Obstruction Announcement Has Been Not Played Which I Felt That The Doors Could Open & Close Smooth Without Any Banging Sound. Back In 2018, The LTA Have Ordered 66 Trains To Replace The C151 Trains But In 2020, The LTA Have Ordered Additional 40 Trains To Replace The 19 C651 & 21 C751B Trains To Have 106 New Trains. Previously 3 Years Ago Back In 2023, The Very First R151 Trainset Which Was Set 825/826 Was In Passenger Service Which R151 Set 823/824 Has First Does It's Daytime Testing But Then At That Time, There Was Some Issues For The 823/824 Set Which Cause That Set To Rest At The Depot. During That Time Of The Debut, I Did Not Take It Because That Time I Was Outside Singapore For Holiday Trip For 2 Weeks. When The R151 Trains Operated On The Changi Airport Branch Line, The First R151 Set 823/824 Was Spotted Operating In July 2023 But After Some Time, The New R151 Other Sets Have Begin Running On The Changi Airport Branch Line Since June 2024 Which Set 829/830 & 831/832 Were The First Actual 2 Of Them To Debut. Hoping That More New R151 Sets Would Run More On Changi Airport Branch Line Since In Future, It Would Be TEL In The Mid-2030s. This Was Because The Thomson-East Coast Line Wanted To Replace Changi Airport, Expo & Tanah Merah To Have City Direct MRT Services So That It Would Be Easier For Commuters To Travel To The Changi Airport Or From Or To The City. Soon, The Green Line Changi Airport Branch Line Would Be Ceased In Few Years Time After Starting Since 2001 & 2002 To Changi Airport Along The Extension Period. Featuring In This Video Was One Of The Newest Ever R151 Trainsets, Which Was R151 Set 153/154 That Made On The Changi Airport Branch Line Debut. This Set Was Enter Service Since 8 July 2026 and On That Debut Run On The CGL, It Was Running As Train Run Number 102 As The Full Day & Late Night Slot Period Train. Once It Ends, It Would Return To East Coast Integrated Depot For Resting. The Train Ride Is Amazing As I Like The Strong Aircon, LED Lighting Are Very Bright, Working LCD DRMD Screens & CLD Display, Working Announcements, Clean Interior Of Train and Comfortable Seats [With Perch Ones] and Ride For This New CRRC Changchun Train. I Will Want To Ride This Train Again As It Is Very Amazing!
