svc 190 in sbs days

Just say you hate NAC buses instead of talking so much crap here...Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Hmm... if I can recall, I took a Nissan Diesel U31SCN (TIB261X) & Hino HT238K (TIB344R) on 176 but those NAC buses made me experienced hot and stuffiness during the entire ride. In the middle of the journey, I've once alighted at one bus stop and transfer to an AC bus on Sv 176.
BTW, DAFs with Hispano bodyworks are quite comfortable for me back then. Recall TIB401J on 176 before the first 14 DAF buses (TIB391D-TIB404B) were sold to NZ, while the rest were transferred to CSS fleet in 1997. It also reminds me of the DAFs on 950, 951 & 952, as it was settled on services like 75, 181, 187 etc. after 950, 951 & 952 withdrawn.
BTW, svc 187 used to passby my previous house but I didn't see any DAFs(TIB391D - TIB424T) perm on svc 187 execpt the current DAFs cameo on svc 187.
Instead saw them on svc SS7 rather than svc 187.
You always used those old bus tickets with DAFs regos(TIB391D - TIB424T) to refer but that they may be cameo buses while transferring to CSS fleet.

Service 160 (current SMRT 980, not the SBST 160 that goes to JB now) used to have a number of Hino NACs too till the Woodlands depot opened in Oct 1998 where Kranji transferred all operations of 160 to Woodlands.Originally posted by brotherchen1982:Take Hinos on svc 176, 178, 187, 852 & some other svcs almost daliy...

I think was somewhere in 2001 or 2002. -
Older generation DAFs were also on service 160 (current 980), 182 (Tibs service withdrawn in 1996), 852, 925 and 927 as well. Have also seen it cameoing on services 5, 75, 167, 169, 178, 855.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:BTW, DAFs with Hispano bodyworks are quite comfortable for me back then.

Woodlands depot started basic oprations in Oct 1998 if I am not wrong. It was officially opened by minister Yeo Cheow Tong in Oct 1999.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:I don't think Woodlands Depot open in 1998.

i remembered that 176 used to have DAFs alexander setanta at around the late 1990s, when Bukit Panjang is still a roadside terminal

Now you said it, I remembered taking an old generation DAF on route 852 from Ang Mo Kio to Yishun not long after the Woodlands routes were rationalised due to the Woodlands MRT Extension. Still remember that there were actually two route 852 buses arriving together at my stop, the one behind being the DAF (I can't remember the model of the bus at the front, but I can confrim that it was a then-newer TIBS bus). I decided to take the DAF as up until then, I never took an old generation DAF bus before. It was my first time on that bus, and also the only time when they were with TIBS before being transferred to CSS. The EDS, I remember clearly, displayed only the numbers "852", with the rest displaying mostly blank space, a few dots, and some random charactersOriginally posted by TIB1018B:Older generation DAFs were also on service 160 (current 980), 182 (Tibs service withdrawn in 1996), 852, 925 and 927 as well. Have also seen it cameoing on services 5, 75, 167, 169, 178, 855. . Also recalled seeing a old generation DAF along Yishun Avenue 2 sometime before that trip (but after the rationalisation), but I can't remember what route it was on. -

Yeah, remembered TIB343T on perm 853 in 1996-1997. This bus and other Hino cameos then made a perm disappearance from 853 in Sep 1997, TIB314C then replaced as perm bus on service 853 instead.Originally posted by anti_NISSAN_U31:in fact on all PAC svcs...
