  Similarly if the bus breakdown in the interchange and this bus is from another depot. Who would cover up that timing?

  Example: SBS 339A(SL 157) breakdown in Toa payoh.

  Or if, 2 buses from another depot did not manage to come back to the interchange in time and even exceeded the time that they need to departure again.

  Example: Timetable sequence.. (SBS 214B(BR 157) --> (SBS 9096R(BR 157))

  SBS 214B should be back at Boon Lay at 8.30am and depart at 8.45am
  SBS 9096R should be back at Boon Lay at 8.40am and depart at 8.55am

  Both buses did not came back until 9.10am. Who would cover up the timing? What do BNL route group do?

  
  Let me give it a try.
  
  I did see an occurrence just recently. SBS 9807G broke down at Tampines Interchange a few days ago and had to be towed away. In this case, they may probably utilise the remaining buses in service until a replacement bus comes to the rescue. The replacement bus could be any unused bus; surprisingly, the breakdown bus may come back to do the service.
  
  I'm just giving the guess. Don't blame me; please correct me if I'm wrong.

  Two possibilities - SBS 3661Z and SBS 3695B.

  Let me give some questions...

  1) Name the regos of any 3 DAFs that were perm on 852 before the partial control in KJDEP was scrapped.
  2) (This is pretty easy) Name the "advertisement" that was on SBS 3878R before the Grand Pix advert was put on it.
  3) You are given the regos of 3 ELBOs: TIB 0842U, TIB 0845L and TIB 0847G. Which is the odd one out?
  4) You are given the regos of 3 Habits: TIB 1019Z, TIB 1176C and TIB 1207Y. Which is the odd one out?

  3) Me thinks it is either 845L cuz its a SP or 842U cuz its rear letter is a vowel.

  4) 1019Z cuz it is a Batch I Habit. 1176C and 1207Y are Both Batch II Habits.

  Correct for number 3... as for number 2, there's a reason why i put the word advertisement in inverted commas. Think harder. =)

  Number 4: Not exactly what I'm looking for... I can still put in other Batch II Habits like 1161U, 1171R or 1201M. Try again. =)

  Is it that SBS 3878R was in normal SBST livery before receiving the advertisement?

  Yes. =D

  Anyway since half of the questions are answered, I might as well give the full set of answers.

  1) TIB 0712L, TIB 0715D, TIB 0719T etc.
  2) SBST Livery
  3) TIB 0842U. It has Lance style EDS.
  4) TIB 1207Y. It does not have the front rim guards.

  TIB1019Z is not a perm on a feeder service (AM 854) but TIB1176C (AM 804/806) and TIB1207Y (AM 812) are. Is it?
