The C810A (Contract 810A) is a Singaporean automated people mover operated by the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit since April 2016 on the Sengkang and Punggol LRT Lines.

History[]

The C801As were produced for use on the Sengkang and Punggol LRT Lines and are the second type of rolling stock to be used on that line; the cars were procured to boost the capacity of both lines. The trains were built from 2012 to 2015 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries at their plant in Hiroshima, Japan. Service commenced on the Sengkang LRT East Loop on 5 April 2016, with cars 43 and 44 running on the East and West Loops of the line respectively.

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 underlined numbering. The trains are fitted with BSI couplers and signaling systems to allow for multiple workings. These may be differentiated from the older C810s through their headlight placement being vertical as opposed to horizontal; their appearance however is identical to that of upgraded C810s and can only be differentiated through serial numbering.

Specifications[]

Onboard recording

The C810As are the second 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.
