Yes, in the past, Bishan had services 57 (to Sin Ming), 58 (to Marina Centre) and 59 (to Jln Kayu). Service 410 was introduced in 1992 to cover part of route of ex-service 57. Service 59 was shortened to Ang Mo Kio later on.
Service 55 introduced in 1993 first started from Ang Mo Kio with the amendment of service 76, then amended to Bishan later on.
Service 54 was a new service integrated from services 104 and 134 in 1993.
Service 53 introduced in 1994 first looped at Hougang St 22 before extended to Changi Airport in 1995.
