The R151 has started it's Soft-Launch on CGL on 15 June 2024. 823/824 was the set to do it! Our time has finally come where we are able to step onto the R151 train on the CGL. This train only ran 2 full trips. Glad to hear good feedback from tourists on board that it was a really pleasant ride and the quality was fantastic. The air-conditioning was cold and it feels amazing onboard. It has updated announcements such as the "Please use the lift" in 4 languages. Overall, it was a successful run on CGL and there was no issues found. However, during its withdrawal at TNM, it overshoot the platform by just a bit, but it was just a minor issue and they train re-alligned shortly after. This train was running on an Extra Slot, T101 (somehow). Hopefully, more R151s will enter CGL in the future, mixing with the existing C151 trains!
