SMRT Trains Limited is a rail operator in Singapore and a wholly owned subsidiary of SMRT Corporation. Then known as Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRTC) when it was incorporated on 6 August 1987, it was renamed as Singapore MRT Limited before taking on its current name, SMRT Trains, in the year 2004.
On 7 November 1987, MRTC started services on Singapore's first MRT section, consisting of five stations from Yio Chu Kang to Toa Payoh. SMRT Trains currently manages most of the MRT services in Singapore except the North East Line and Downtown Line. On 11 December 2001, SMRT merged with TIBS Holdings. On 10 May 2004, all of the subsidiaries under the SMRT Corporation adopted the SMRT logo and brand officially. 6 trains – C151, C651, C751B, C151A and C151B and future C151C are operating on the North South Line and the East West Line. The C830 and the latest C830C trains are operating only on the Circle Line.
The main colour scheme for all the trains are black with red stripe, excluding C651 with the only exterior with white and red stripes and C801 with green and red stripes. Future SMRT trains and refurbished trains will bear the new SMRT livery, which consist of white, red, black and yellow pixel livery, unless LTA uses its own livery for newer rolling stocks, similar to C951 and CT251 (also known as T251). Current fleets with the new liveries are the C801A and the C151B trains.
