  Service 63 (current) was reintroduced in 1993 to operate from Rumah Tinggi terminal and loop at MacPherson estate, when service 62 was shortened from Rumah Tinggi to New Bridge Rd at the same time. Current service 63 had never terminated at Bt Merah interchange.
  
  

  svc 63 did ply from bt merah interchange to macpherson estate (loop). for a brief moment before its route got amended to rumah tinggi terminal, there was LA DDs on the service. when it got amended to ply from rumah tinggi, svc 62 was cut back to ply from new bridge rd terminal instead.
  
  Then:
  Svc 62 - Hougang South - Rumah Tinggi
  Svc 63 - Bt Merah Int - MacPherson Est (Loop)
  
  Afterwards:
  Svc 62 - Hougang South - New Bridge Rd
  Svc 63 - Rumah Tinggi - MacPherson Est (Loop)
  
  after which both services were slowly amended / intergrated to become the current services now.
  
  Current:
  Svc 62 - Punggol - Lorong 1 Geylang (Loop)
  Svc 63 - Eunos - Rumah Tinggi (Loop)

  When service 63 was amended to Rumah Tinggi from Bukit Merah, did the LA DDs remain in the fleet? If not, where did they went to?

  I remembered that the LA DDs were replaced by MBO405s when the svc shifted from Bt Merah Int to Rumah Tinggi terminal... Where the LA DDs went to, me dunno... Anyone?

  63 had LAs after it was amended to operate from Rumah Tinggi. They disappeared when the service became FAC in 1998.

  I saw lots of MK2s NAC on the service after it was amended to Rumah Tinggi.

  Correct me if I'm wrong. After its amendment to Rumah Tinggi, the service used only single deckers of which majority were MK2s.
