  DUNEARN RD

  The final destination of the route being written down at the 2nd line.. =x
  Sort of confusing if u are looking at the 1st line of the destination....

   

  i still prefer this.. :
  KENT RIDGE
  via DUNEARN RD

  
  saw 8433 ytd. still the same, unique EDS style.

  lol. did u typo ferrer road or it really is spelt that way in the eds?

  9810 eds for 143 puts

  TOA PAYOH 143
  Eu Tong Sen Rd

  another typo

  talking about typos i remember last time the first few days 9810 came in from 76 to 143

  TOA PAYOH 143

  TEBAN GARDENS 143

  later on

  they put in the details but there was 2 wrong info

  JURONG EAST 143
  Novena Rd

  JURONG EAST 143
  Sth Bridge Rd

  den rectify to

  JURONG EAST 143
  Thomson Rd

  first. and later

  JURONG EAST 143
  New Bridge Rd

  but now still got Eu Tong Sen Rd a minor error. i wonder if they will resolve the prob. that is also one prob about the EDS. keying in wrong info. they gotta keep re-editing the mistakes they made.

  I think services from AMK Int did not get any batch 1 K230 cos of the short slope at the entrance/exit of amk int. I have been wondering why Sv 265 is getting the K230, while Sv 269 which have greater demand does not get it until i saw buses exiting AMK Int and notice that most of the buses'  front and rear bumper almost hit the road surface when they exit.. Not sure whether the newest batch of K230 can be deployed to AMK Int service or not. Maybe they really have to reduce the gradient of the slope to something like Toa Payoh int..

  SBS8445 and SBS8446 were spotted turning into BKE from woodland centre road at around 1.30pm on 22 Apr. They then travel along BKE and then turn into KJE,towards Jurong. Not sure going to SLBP or Scania HQ. Both buses are without Ezylink reader yet.

  Could this suggest that these buses were not assembled at Hougang but rather by a third party in the Sg Kadut/Woodlands area, and hence explaining their out-of-range registration...?

  I presume many people have gotten 9888Y's message already...

  3 K230s will be on 51.

  At the same time, both 51 and 174 will be the first 2 services to have both SD and DD WABs.

  Goes like this (From Ben):

  3 SDs will go SLBP 51 to SLBP SP.
  3 K230s will be new on SLBP 51.
  3 LO3x will go SLBP 174 to SLBP 51.
  3 B9TL will go SLBP 51 to SLBP 174.

  So overall, SLBP 51 converts 3 DD blocks to 3 SD blocks (WAB). :)

  actually u should have not posted cos u dun really know the full story haha. but anyways. if theres any last minute changes, people may think I have provided unreliable info. that's why i dun choose to post first haha.

  its more than 3. all the SLBP 51 BCs + some Jurong East standbys (includes my ganjie). 3 K230s and if only 3 BCs that know how to drive. what about the P shift BCs?
