I can confirm that the C651 were not put in service due to critical safety issues due to bad cracking in the framework from the refurbishment, as well as faulty speed panels, it wasn't disability compliant, the trains would regularly break down during testing disrupting services, the new brake design didn't work well, which would have caused the trains to overshoot platforms and derail, the train motors would overheat which could of cause a serious fire and doors were not compatible with the new safety control systems, meaning that doors could open by simply leaning on them whilst the train was moving & there was also poor visibility from the upgraded driver's cab.. At a Board meeting, it was decided they would never enter service, nor would the rest of the fleet be refurbished because of the high cost of fixing them, and it would instead be cheaper to order more of the Alstom Movia R151, which were already planned to replace the C151 by the early 2020s. The R151 are now replacing both the C151 & the C651.

Farewell to the refurbished C651 trains, they had the same exterior livery as the C151B but it didn't enter service since the end of the project. Rest in peace , the Refurbished C651s (2015 to 2021).

​@electro_sykes True, also the C751B would not be refurbished as well and now 7 of them left in service after 24 years. Kind of sad the older trains have to say goodbye early but, this is life we have to carry on and the new R151 trains will carry their legacy forward

RIP there goes all the refurbished C651 :'( Refurbishment programme had been revoked in Sept 2018 due to faults detected during testing. RIP Siemens C651 the second gen trains on NSEWL (1995-2020/21) despite the cancelled refurbishment. The only Unrefurbished C651 to be retired so far is 203-204. P. S. If they run free in the rails of heaven then the late President Ong Teng Cheong (1936-2002) would board them with other retired trains like 045-046, 203-204 etc.. since he came up with the MRT system 34 years ago.
