(My Final Ride on 317/318) SMRT C751B (317/318) Clementi to Jurong East

Filming Date: 5 September 2024
TRN: 150
Me enjoying 1318 A4's robotic motor one final time...
5 September 2024 was 317/318's 2nd last day running. On 6 September, this train ended off with T162 and on 7 September, it did a transfer from Changi Depot to Tuas Depot for retirement.
It is really disturbing that the youngest pre-KSF train, the 3rd generation C751B train is having such an extremely alarming purge and extinction rate. The efforts that the Rolling Stock Department and LTA put decommissioning them are worryingly high... with many C751Bs using transfers from other depots to Tuas Depot to decommission. Let's all cherish our last 2 C751Bs, 337/338 and 341/342 before they all get wiped out forever...
The truth is, our C751Bs have really bad suspension and are hard to maintain and can't run on the rails so well despite being the most loved by train enthusiasts for its awesome motor, air-conditioning smell and its environment (to me, a C751B feels like a high class train to take..)
What I will truly miss about 317/318 was the BOOMING robotic motor on 1318 A4. It was also the final C751B with robotic motor..
Farewell 317/318! We will truly miss you!!! 🫡😭❤️

RIP to this 2000 Millennium train :"(

at this point c651 might outlive c751b which makes no sense, like c751b is newer but retire first? c651 is old and never refurbished other than failed program. c651 is good but why outlive c751b? please keep c751b for longer. i know c151 is older but there is a lot of c151 and also they refurbished.

[@TheSpeedyTrainspotter]

Yeah it's not fair at all for the C751bs
