Service 7 used to have mercedes O405 when HG operates them. Nothing special really.
SBS160-168 if I am not wrong. -

Well, SBS168 was seen on Sv156 once last year.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Service 7 used to have mercedes O405 when HG operates them. Nothing special really.

HG and BNdepot had a share of the O405 when they were new. I can name you the services that used to operate the O405.Originally posted by dfs24:Well, SBS168 was seen on Sv156 once last year.
They were transferred out to other depots when the mark IIIs came in.
This happened not last year but years ago. At least 10 years ago. -
Yes. I know that. A long time ago when Sv156 terminated in Serangoon, it was common to see 0405. Strangely, it happened last year, and I saw that with my own eyes.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:HG and BNdepot had a share of the O405 when they were new.

iirc, bbdep used to hold O405's in the early years before transferring them to amdep.

Serangoon last time under AMDP/BRBP...Originally posted by dfs24:Yes. I know that. A long time ago when Sv156 terminated in Serangoon, it was common to see 0405. Strangely, it happened last year, and I saw that with my own eyes. -
I think some of them might have gone over to JRBP too.Originally posted by ^tamago^:iirc, bbdep used to hold O405's in the early years before transferring them to amdep.
NAC Mercs ever served on 93. 3807 was one of them. Also, 350 had a full fleet of Mercs while other BN feeders had CRBs.
HGDEP routes like 62 & 84 also had them when they were new. IIRC, the Mercs were the first batch of buses that came pre-fitted with TL validators. -
Yes. I know that too. Thats why it was strange to see 0405 on Sv156 as it is now under HG/BB.Originally posted by Y_Shun:Serangoon last time under AMDP/BRBP... -
i guess u saw the bus during the IMF period. 20 Merdz was in HGDep at that point of time..Originally posted by dfs24:Yes. I know that too. Thats why it was strange to see 0405 on Sv156 as it is now under HG/BB. -
Hmm, i remember reading a post that said after Imf, volvo drivers prefer driving merc? why?Originally posted by sBs_boy:i guess u saw the bus during the IMF period. 20 Merdz was in HGDep at that point of time.. -
Maybe they loved the easy steering the MBs offer. I still remember Sv 100 with a lot of Mercs. Almost whole Merc fleet. 103 had Mercs too if i'm not wrong but can anyone tell me which services used to terminate at Jln Kayu before it was closed?Originally posted by kenn3th:Hmm, i remember reading a post that said after Imf, volvo drivers prefer driving merc? why? -
this one is Ian Fuller's right?Originally posted by bus555:Erm I am not saying about Merz 0405 on Service 7 during IMF bus also when it was on SBS livery?

59( even older)
Mercs are deployed on 103 and 163 and if I am not wrong, scanias deployed on 378, 379.
After the terminal has closed and 103 is rerouted to Serangoon while 163 is rerouted to Sengkang, Volvos are deployed into these two services. -
Uncle, Svc 100 was Full Merdz.Originally posted by tintinspartan:Maybe they loved the easy steering the MBs offer. I still remember Sv 100 with a lot of Mercs.

103 also had merdz and LA serving along side each other. -

59 was around since the 1980's, running between Bishan and Jln Kayu. It was shortened to Ang Mo Kio Int early in the 90's, handed over to Tibs on 17th Dec 1995.
It was extended to Sengkang Ter and renumbered 866 on 28th Feb 1999 then handed back to SBST on 25th July the same year under Hougang Depot. On 5th of December, it was renumbered as Service 86.
Anyway, anyone knows what bus type did Tibs deploy on it in 1996 to 1998? I only know Lances were used on 59/866 and 103 when it was new in 1998. -
59 had had the WA bodied Scania L113CRB. 103 had OAC/CAC Box Merdz 12 mOriginally posted by ^tamago^:yes.

I once rode on a Scania L113CRL Strider on Tibs 59 just after the handover from SBS. Not sure whether it was a perm or a cameo.Originally posted by ^tamago^:yes.

thanks for the replies.

anyone knows when 854 is introduced?
-
i can't help much but tell u the range: 1986 to 1992.

Anyway thanks for the reply. Actually I am just curious whether like for example 169, who plans out this route first? Is it SBS or TIBS in the past?Originally posted by ^tamago^:i can't help much but tell u the range: 1986 to 1992.
I always thought that the 85x are the pioneer services that TIBS has introduced and thus the bus territory thing is ignored for these services. TIBS has always been known to use 85x service numbers. However, after checking with Sgwiki, I realise that 167 is the first ever TIBS service.
Just a thought.
