This video features an Alstom Movia R151, 847/848, which is from CHD to serve CGL for the remainder of the dayunder the weekend schedule, after replacing 843/844 into CHD earlier on, from CG1 Expo to EW4 Tanah Merah.
The first time where a R151 that was deployed to the Changi Branch Line was replaced off the line by another R151 itself. Seems that the R151s are going to be the future of the Changi Branch Line, replacing off the KHIs that used to spam the line very often. In the beginning of the video, you would see 843/844 bypass Expo Platform B after being withdrawn from service at Changi Airport, with the replacement train being behind 843/844.
Note that car 12847 A4/B4 have some whiny motor (although it is not as loud as car 12830 A1/B1 whiny motor). Seems that more and more R151s are having this kind of motor eventually...
Eventually a few hours later, 847/848 got replaced by 067/068 into CHD due to some problems with the CDD & CLD when travelling towards Changi Airport.

The KHI does not really represent the future of Changi Airport well tbh (let alone the branch line) as they are really getting problematic and would not be beneficial to the tourists using this 'special' but essential line. The CGL would rather have new trains to serve the tourists instead, while some KHI can continue with their mainline service until their last breath.

There 2 KHI On CGL Today. 1 R151 only.
