  SBS9214S of 179 overheated along Jurong West St 63 at around 3pm+ but managed to recover.
  
  I talked to that BC later and he say Volvos (both NAC & AC) are more prone to overheating compared to Leyland & Merc.

  SBS 2635G (HGDEP 165) broke down at around 3.15 pm. The next 165, SBS 9507Y, came after 4 minutes. SBS 2635G resumed its route after 7 minutes later. The engine worked fine though, even before the breakdown. Should be other faulty parts that broke down.

  Eh any signs of breakdown? Cos you may just be seeing the Ferry Service there, it doesn't go into KJDEP, but parks outside and relax.
