Rolling Stock
The rolling stock consists of Bombardier MOVIA C951 cars, running in three-car formation. They will be stabled at Gali Batu Depot when it opens with Stage 2 of Downtown Line by 2015. For the period between the operation of Downtown Line Stage 1 and Downtown Line Stage 2, trains will be stabled at a maintenance facility that has been built at Marina Bay as part of the Circle Line project. Kim Chuan Depot will house the Operations Control Centre (OCC) for Downtown Line until Gali Batu Depot is ready to be used. Eight trains will be used for the operation of Stage 1 in 2013, with the first two arriving in Singapore in October 2012 and the rest progressively from 2013 onwards. On 12 October 2012, the first of 11 trains for the Downtown Line Stage 1 arrived at Jurong Port and transported to Kim Chuan Depot to undergo testing by LTA before it is handed over to SBS Transit.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“On Linden, when the sun was low,
All bloodless lay the untrodden snow,
And dark as winter was the flow
Of Iser, rolling rapidly.”
—Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)
“However low and poor the taking Snuff argues a Man to be in his own Stock of Thought, or Means to employ his Brains and his Fingers, yet there is a poorer Creature in the World than He, and this is a Borrower of Snuff; a Fellow that keeps no Box of his own, but is always asking others for a Pinch.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
