Interesting... Nice to see all pics.
Thanks 9V-SKA for sharing pics with us.
Yes, SMRT will have only 40 trains for CCL although Kim Chuan depot can hold up to maximum 78 trains.
If I am not wrong, when DTL1 is opened in 2013, some trains from Kim Chuan depot will be "borrowed" to run the service line for DTL1 until DTL2 and DTL Woodlands Road Depot is completed in 2015.

Ok 9V-SKA, I'm hope you will keep your promise to share this when CCL Stage 3 starts revenue service next year even though we are waiting for one year.

i think they're the same. but CCL is 3 carriages.They are different because the NEL uses 1500V AC Overhead while the 750V DC Third Rail, the pantograph and the most probable reason why you see the overhead catenary in 9V-SKA's photos is that Alstom may not have third rail for certain tests.

harder to maintain the AC overhead cables?
