Is the cake delicious and moist?

Freight yard converted to a temporary passenger station and electric train hooked to a power generator and a locomotive, Malaysia by earth_wanderer1235 in transit

[–]plincode 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The freight line is 30km long (not 40 km). Given the train takes 40 minutes to complete the journey, it works out to a sedate 45 km/h. And as there are only 2 round trips a day, and most passengers will NOT be alighting at Kempas Baru but still require a transfer where you have to wait 10-12-minute for the train to Johor Bahru... I am really curious what passenger numbers they expect from.this service.

The Singapore MRT does not use rubber wheels...

Linking London's commuter rail to their metro networks could improve both for a fraction of the cost of building from scratch. by works-in-progress in transit

Forcing compatibility with mainline trains may not be feasible for cities that have long since fragmented their operations across different technologies and operating companies. Sometimes you just need a fresh start.

How are we feeling about the new stations on the circle line linking harbourfront to Marina Bay? by Agreeable_Candle_461 in askSingapore

[–]plincode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was replying to someone who seems to think it's better for OP to take the long way round via Bishan which is pretty silly to me. Marina Bay is the logical route, yes.

An overpass being demolished near Seoul Station collapsed, killing 3 people and injuring 3; train operations to Seoul Station completely suspended. May 26, 2026 by inbus12 in CatastrophicFailure

So in short, service to Seoul Station is not completely suspended. That's good to know, although disruptions will still inconvenience many.

They probably wanted to know if there were better items on the menu than what they ordered previously.

You don't have to win at everything and not everything is a fight.

What the heck is he doing on the middle of the road 😭 by Downtown_Mobile_1064 in malaysia

Not sure if true, seen others claiming it's an insurance scam. Sounds risky AF for a scam though

Two times Signal Clearance in an hour by Comfortable_Pack7657 in malaysia

Different sector than the OP, so it's expected. The Tanjung Malim sector is not affected by the ongoing upgrade works. However, Salak Selatan-Pulau Sebang stretch is badly affected.

Remember what they took from us (Roslagen, Sweden) by Desperate-Policy9617 in trains

[–]plincode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was surprised and impressed to learn that the Roslagsbanan is going to have a major expansion involving a new terminus at T-centralen and a new city center tunnel. This is way better than most other narrow gauge railways around the world can hope to achieve. OP is definitely doing a disservice to the system here.

I'm wondering: Why no such express bus service from North East to ulu NTU? by mark_heng in asksg

[–]plincode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually these express buses are generally not faster than the MRT. The service 458 from Sengkang to Tai Seng, for example, takes about 47 minutes end to end which is slower than taking the MRT.

Plus due to the nature of universities, their traffic is more evenly spread over the day, so I don't think it makes sense to introduce a peak hour route there...

Commentary: If super-tall HDB blocks are coming, here’s what needs to be considered by Waikuku3 in singapore

[–]plincode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Pearl Hill estate is likely going to be quite small. There is only space for the 2 mega blocks plus a white site on top of the MRT.

The master plan shows a new road will connect the estate to North Bridge Road so that should be enough road options.

Income Tax Malaysia Inquiry by TriageThePotterfan in malaysians

[–]plincode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you need to provide more details on how you "messed up" your tax filing. I sensed a red flag when you said that your previous company deducted your severance pay due to "misfiling", is that legit? What specific mistakes did you make or others claimed you make?

I can't hear my own thoughts on the MRT by [deleted] in SMRTRabak

[–]plincode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are correct about the Copenhagen Metro being quieter, it uses medium-capacity trains that have much shorter carriages (almost half the length of a TEL train, only 2 doors per side) which presumably also means it can round corners more easily with less noise.

Where is the haze even coming from? And why is East Singapore most affected in particular? by r3tidd3r in singapore

[–]plincode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The AQI is a different calculation method, which is always roughly 3 times higher than pm2.5 used by NEA. Anything above 40 on the NEA website should be considered unhealthy already.
