Earlier this year I was on a train where the platform doors did not open. I had to race down the carriage to the next door to get off before the train went off again.
Earlier this week in Singapore I noticed and photographed the number on these doors on the overground section of the MRT on the red line. If I ever had to report that the doors were stuck, or wanted to fore-warn friends who would be catching the train later, I could use these numbers.
Mostly passengers don't notice the numbers. But the platform staff need the number to know where to place a temporary cordon to stop passengers queuing to board at the place where the doors don't open.
Singapore is a great stopover in Asia between America or Russia or Europe and Australia.
