The Bombardier MOVIA C951 is a type of train built by Bombardier Transportation for use on the Downtown Line, Singapore, which is presently being built.
73 trainsets consisting of 3 cars each were purchased at a cost of approximately S$689.7 million for passenger service.[1] Bombardier beat Alstom, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Hyundai Rotem in the tendering process as the lowest cost offered.[2]
Fleet
Operation
The C951 trains are fully automated, without attendant, running on a system similar to that used on the C751A and C830.
Features
Design
The C951 trains may include several features that were not seen in existing trains.[3]
New features include:
- an ergonomic seat profile;
- red reserved seats, which allows for clearer separation between normal and reserved seats;
- perch seats, replacing the two-seaters at the ends of the car;
- hand grips utilising joints instead of straps, providing commuters a steadier grip;
The train will also retain existing features like having two rows of poles and hand grips, and vertical poles which split into three at the center.
Dynamic Route Map Display (DRMD)
The Dynamic Route Map Display (DRMD), a rail travel information system, is newly introduced and developed for the C951 trains.
Platform Gap Width Reduction (PGWR)
The train doors have a frangible gap made of rubber that protrudes out. The platform-train gap will then be reduced, preventing passenger accidents due to the platform gap.
Others
The train will have regenerative braking which is usable over a larger range of speeds. This will generate electricity when the train slows, feeding it back to the rail network.
Trainset numbers
Individual cars are given a five-digit serial number by the rail operator, SBS Transit. The car numbers of the trains range from 9001x to 9073x, where x depends on the carriage type.
- The first digit is always a 9.
- The next three digits is the train identification number. A full length train of 3 cars will have the same identification number. For example, train 9003 would consist of 3 cars with serial number 90031, 90032, 90033 respectively.
- The last digit depends upon whether the car is the first, second or third car from the end of the train, where the first car has a 1, the second has a 2, the third has a 3.
