Current status: Featured article


Windows OS

[edit]

Can someone provide more information about the fact that the line "runs on Microsoft's Windows operating system"? I can't find any reference to this on the web. Do the trains run Windows, or the back end system? Without providing a reference or any extra detail, it seems the contributor is just trying to imply that Microsoft is reponsible the line's delayed opening and white elephant reputation. --JackSeoul 04:27, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, I removed the line about running on Windows. Feel free to add it back, but if you do please provide a reference to support the claim. --JackSeoul 07:00, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

trimmed out unsourced edit

[edit]

This has been removed from the article as no sources were cited:

A station will be built between HarbourFront and Outram Park. Current working name is Keppel.

This is back, now as "Bukit Purmei". Are there any sources at all for this, aside from the obvious gap in the numbering scheme? Jpatokal (talk) 16:59, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
None. Needs to be removed. - oahiyeel talk 14:09, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Jpatokal (talk) 03:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've put Bukit Purmei MRT Station up for AfD. Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bukit Purmei MRT Station - oahiyeel talk 19:17, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stations with the announcement "Please do not lean against the doors"

[edit]

Only 4 out of 16 stations have the announcement "Please do not lean against the doors".

 NE7  Little India
 NE10  Potong Pasir Next station after  NE11  Woodleigh
(Opened on 20 June 2011)
 NE14  Hougang Next station after  NE15  Buangkok

New announcements on 2019

[edit]

On 2 August 2019, there was a new announcement and new VPIS programming ride from  NE12  Serangoon to  NE13  Kovan and from  NE14  Hougang to  NE13  Kovan.

On 14 September 2019, there was a new announcement ride from  NE8  Farrer Park to  NE9  Boon Keng and from  NE10  Potong Pasir to  NE9  Boon Keng.

Station coding mistake

[edit]

The station code was supposed to be  NE11  Woodleigh, not  NE10  Woodleigh. Editingcreate123 (talk) 01:36, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Currency conversions wrong

[edit]

associated tunnels were awarded for a total of S$2.8 billion (US$1.9 billion). Sixteen more contracts related to electrical and mechanical work were awarded for a total of S$1 billion (US$3.5 billion). The Singapore Dollar is worth about USD 0.75, so neither of these conversions looks correct. Tetsuo (talk) 13:12, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The conversions are done by Template:ToUSD and look correct to me. Remember these were the rates in 1997 and 1995, not today. GA-RT-22 (talk) 15:01, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

5 billion?

[edit]

Regarding this revert: [1] with edit summary "The citation for the figure is in the body of the article". I can't find any place in the article where it says the line was completed at a cost of 5 billion. Can you point this out? I can't find a completion cost anywhere. The only place 5 billion is mentioned is "It was projected to cost S$5 billion (US$3.5 billion)". GA-RT-22 (talk) 19:26, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
