The Shanghai Alstom Metropolis C751C together with the Alstom Metropolis C830C are the third generation of communication-based train control (CBTC) to be used in Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) lines. 18 trainsets of 6 cars were manufactured by Shanghai Alstom Transport Co Ltd (joint venture of Alstom and Shanghai Electric), Deliveries began in July 2014 and is expected to continue through 2015.
As of 1 October 2015, the first trainset (7055/7056) has been deployed for service.
The tender for trains under the contract 751C was opened together with another contract C830C for an additional 24 Circle Line trains which was closed on 18 Jul 2011 with 4 bids. The Land Transport Authority has shortlisted all of them and the tender results was published on 1 Feb 2012.
Externally, the C751C shares similarities with its predecessor, the Alstom Metropolis C751A in terms of shape, color and appearance, but has an additional window on the detrainment doors located at the ends of the train, allowing passengers to see the tracks ahead. The interior of the C751C is similar to the C751A but has redesigned gangways similar to those on the C830C. The seat colours are similar to the Bombardier MOVIA C951 and C801A, having a purplish tint. Priority seats can be identified by their red colouration. The C751C has a dynamic route-map system, similar to the C830C and C951. It also has a louder and higher-pitched propulsion system, which sounds similar to the propulsion system of C151 trains. It is equipped with a new type of current collector.
This line uses Overhead Lines, therefore overhead line gearboxes are installed. During peak hours, SBS Transit staff may be deployed on the trains, hence passengers can only view the tracks through the emergency exit window. The difference between C751A and C751C is that there is no LCD Displays. Compared to the C751A trains, the interior roof is coloured white instead of beige-orange.
