  Haha. Will 24 be half demercelized of fully demercelized? I remember 174 was fully demercelized since 174 got K230UB.

  Probably full like 174 since a good portion of the Merc's are definitely laying up in the near future.

  Haha. Someone can go eat his own words liao...

  Both 8449/8451 are split shift bus today. Both are perm on Sv 24. Btw, Sv 24 parking lots at AMK Int change to that of Sv 166, while Sv 166 parking lots move to Sv 135 place. Sv 135 buses now park at former Sv 24 parking lots. With this changes, Sv 24 K230 need not fear hitting the kerbs at the parking lot in AMK Int.

  If 24, 53, 56 and 124 are current potentials, what about 145? I have a feeling that 145 is also a potential.

  Hopefully not 199L (and probably some other 19X-20X Merc), cos it has been perm on 24 since probably day 1.

  Got SMS from TWS and ZYX that there's a Scania K230 on sv 156.

  SBS 8455U is currently still not perm 52. SLBP placed this bus probably as a trial or something.

  Anyway, it is supposed to kick out SBS 3748H if it really becomes perm.

  They probably doing trial, but maybe it didn't work out well, so SBS 3748H came back to do 52.

  Anyway, lots of K230 on 24 today. Happy spotting! SBS 8451E on A/P shift.
