The C810 (Contract 810) is a Singaporean automated people mover operated by the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit since January 2003 on the Sengkang and Punggol LRT Lines.

History[]

The C810s were produced for use on the Sengkang and Punggol LRT Lines and are the first rolling stock to be used on both line. The trains were built from 2000 to 2003 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries at their plant in Hiroshima, Japan. Service commenced on the Sengkang LRT East Loop on 18 January 2003, followed by the Punggol East Loop on 29 January 2005.

Cars normally run alone, but are often coupled in two-car formations.

Design[]

Car bodies are constructed of a weighed aluminum alloy. The sets are painted with a white body with dark blue accents on most surfaces. SBS Transit logos are emblazoned on the fronts and sides of each car. The serial number of each car can be found on the left of the cab ends of each car in large numbering.

Sixteen cars were upgraded between 2013 and 2015 to allow for multiple workings; this involved an exterior change, the addition of signaling equipment and the changing of couplers from Shibata to BSI. These can be differentiated by their vertical headlights and an underlined serial number. The upgraded C810s have an identical exterior to the later C810As and can only be differentiated from each other by serial number.

Specifications[]

Onboard recording

The C810s are the first generation of automated people movers used on SBS Transit's rail transit network. Kyosan's APM fixed block system is used to control the trains. The trains are equipped with Mitsubishi IGBT variable frequency drives creating a hissing sound which steps up in pitch.
