Anything can happen anytime. Who knows.
For example, BNDEP send 4 N113 to AMDEP not too long ago. Who predicted this?

i believe that there should be another AMDEP service getting K230? still got the 817* series waiting to be deployed out.
HGDEP should be deploying K230 on Sv 105 as well right?

For 36, wait long long also don't have K230. I have a feeling that some HGDEP MKIVs or AMDEP Merz will be transfered to BNDEP to replace BNDEP N113CRBs when they expire. Then we would have MKIVs doing the Eastern feeders.
Quite true...some possibilities that HGDEP have the intention to transfer Volvo MK3/MK4s to BNDEP, due to the fact that services 119, 156 and 163 have started getting Scania K230UB "trial" deployments and might get more of them when the existing Volvos transfer to BNDEP to replace those Scania N113 CRBs

Hopefully services 70 and 86 gets them. -

Don't speculate please. The current trend is for airport services to have Scania K230. There is no current trend for transferring Mercedes Benz or West District Volvo buses to an East District depot.:)
Service 27 got to depend whether HGDEP wants to deploy them or not. As for service 36...
If SMRT also wants to compete with SBST and deploys Merc OC500LE on service 858 too

Can't accelerate fast despite ZF 6 speed. This shows how bad the engine is. -

SMRT may just do that. It wants to put its new buses on high demand or attractive routes. -

Heh, don't be surpised, the first ZF automatic gearbox for buses was the 2HP45.

The gearbox of a Scania K230UB is tuned in such a way that drivers can't acclerate fast, the first gear is just too short for any accleration. Of course driver can do kick down, which does help quite a bit.

Is it because of the loud whirring sound??
I prefer that bus to be out rather than SBS2688D

Not all Striders have a loud whirring sound. 1919U is not bad. -

SBS1919U is horrible.

I believe amdep is taking in all the new K230s for East district so that they can transfer to bndep when their N113s retire. Worse come to worse if the bfacillities at bndep isnt ready, they either send their O405s over or send O405s to hgdep who in turn send B10Ms to bndep.

HGDEP kept quite a number of K230UB and DM3500. Maybe they can transfer over too?
