SimonTan 2nd Gear February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 Is this the piese where the experts recommended to use the plastic Tie-cord to secure it? If it is....then it's a joke. If one piece can drop out. I wonders how many of the millions pieces on the track are loose or not securing the track anymore. Dangerous maintenance standard.

Pchmj Clutched February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 Hope to see another major disruption. 1 slap not enough. But then I'm sure they will apply for fare increase again, reason being increase in maintenance cost. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
