Bombardier INNOVIA C801 are the first generation of trains running on the Bukit Panjang LRT.

History

The trains have been operating since the BPLRT opening in 1999. If a refurbish plans go through to enhance the lifespan of the train, it will be the first major overhaul for the Bukit Panjang LRT. The refurbished train cars will have upgraded air-conditioning and air compressors together with an improved braking system plus installing Close Circuit Televisions (CCTV) under each train car to monitor under the train cars. However, plans of replacing the train cars are not ruled out by LTA.

Defects in the C801 rolling stock

Minor defects in the C801 rolling stock were found in 2015 during a routine assessment by Bombardier.[1] The main cause for such cracks, which was no larger than 12cm, were due to "normal wear and tear" and had since been repaired.

Replacement

On 7 March 2018, the Land Transport Authority awarded the contract for renewing the Bukit Panjang LRT system to Bombardier at a cost of $344 million. [2] Under the contract, all of the 19 C801 trains would be withdrawn from service, and replaced by the new C801B trains.
