  Service 7, 32, 33 and 66 were once under HGDEP as recently as 2-3 years ago.

  Adding on, I suspect HGDEP used to be located in Simpang Bedok, hence the 2*** rego series buses found there.
  
  I am inclined to say 7 & 33 were HGDEP because they were under the old Bedok Depot.
  
  9 & 197 were HGDEP because they once terminated @ Geylang Fringe.

  no larh.
  
  how can expo area be hougang arh?
  
  i think what u mean is the Bedok depot buses were shifted to hougang as an entire batching.
  
  and yeah for thos who r left scratching their heads
  
  there existed two bedok depots in 1980s
  
  a BEDOK DEPOT with code BEDEp
  
  and this BEDOK NORTH DEPOT with code BNDEP
  
  well Bedok depot was eventually ka boom and (machine sounds) and whats left is land for EXPo to build. also note that Somapah ter is rumored to be very very close to bedok depot
  
  so that left us with Bedok north. there is a reason why, till today, we dun call that depot as bedok depot. For me the "north" is kept around as a sign of past things.

  Adding on, I suspect Alexandra depot buses were moved to ARBP when the former closed down.
  
  I still remember one site along Leng Kee Rd where DDs were built. I believe that was the old Alexandra Depot.
  
  WLDEP remained as a workshop until 1995, while its fleet could have gone to BBDEP when it ceased to operate as a depot.

  The fleet list from the old BIH is long outdated. You're adviced not to refer to that for current deployments.
  
  The new fleet list is still being compiled, however, hampered by redeployments that are likely to occur following the new Scania K230s progressively put into service.

  I think he mean that they are updating the Scania deployment, and have no time to edit the SMRT deployment.

  your questions are always misleading.
  
  how do you know which bus was the FIRST to be fitted with skyliners? do note that alot of cameos and happenings that happen daily goes unreported in forums because no one spots them.

  You are right.
  
  Perhaps my explanation was not clear and I apologise for that. BIH is updating the SBS Transit list, but most probably will be uploaded only after the first 100 Scanias are out (at least).
  
  BIH will also not provide any SMRT deployment list at this moment due to the dynamic nature of their deployments.

  Because SMRT doesn't use perm stickers?

  I thought it was SBS9888Y? Because it was the first VSO to arrive SG and its EDS was there since it arrived until the day it was removed?

  He asked for LED display. 9888Y has a flip dot/dot matrix display.

  I am sure:
  
  7435J AM 76
  
  Should be:
  
  7476R, 7478K, 7479H AM 161
  
  Don't ask me beyond the B9TLs, I can't really take note of buses anymore.
