Let's say if a CAC nissan and a NAC VO2x arrives back to back, which bus will u choose??
VO2x definitely. Its pick up is MUCH better than a UD.

if the 2 ELBO do S..u can take your hat off le..ur chances of boarding a UD on 852 after peak hours is 90%

You should look for sth better to do than just saying *SS.
But I will look forward to taking UDs on 852
; what's so bad about it? It has more seats than a Scania K230UB anyway... -

You can look forward to it already...TIB835R and TIB839E are confirmed doing split shifts. TIB840A and all the Nissan UDs are doing full day.Unlike service 980 that have Scanias doing full day whereas CSS183U is doing split shift.
-
In conclusion:-
It seems strange that service 859 is also getting at least 3 Scanias doing full day. Seems like there's going to be some reduction of bendies when under WLDEP, compared to current AMDEP deployments.
In fact WLDEP should give Scanias to services like 173 and 177, instead of 171 and 859. Worst till 852 getting all the Nissan UD spares from WLDEP (TIB1251T and CSS203X being spared
)For service 75 under KJDEP and 985 under AMDEP outcomes as expected, 75 confirmed getting 985's DAFs, whereas 985 getting 852's Lances.
Ridicious to have services 106 and 190 under minimum AMDEP control. 190 have 3 out of 30 over duties under AMDEP, and 106 4 out of 20 duties. Anyway 106 in the past was also AMDEP/KJDEP controlled too, unless AMDEP wants to make a comeback on service 106?

i like UDs.
more seats, wider aisle definitely a plus! -
guys! happy spotting tomorrow!

Too bad I can't go out to Yishun INT tomorrow... would love to see what the new 859 fleet is. Still hoping that all AMDEP 859 buses get to remain in AMDEP.
Looks rather "wish granted" now because 859 seems to be taking buses from WLDEP... o.O -

That means tml 970,75,700 they all start using KJDEP buses oredi? Cuz the bc i knew told me tml was the last day for 970 they all using WLDEP buses, so im quite confused.
-
Just one more hour plus and it will be 23rd March!
Sadly, TIB1026C is leaving service 106 for better life. After permanent on service 106 for nearly all of its life time (since 2000?), it will be perm on service 700 from Mondays to Fridays running shift S201. All the best to 1026C, service 106 commuters thank your service for the great number of years :D ( Ok, I am still in my senses :) )
Whereas for 700 as well, TIB537B ( Scania N113CRBluver, your 'hiccup bus' :) ), TIB804E are one of those who will be appearing full day on the new Kranji takeover service. All the best to the leaving buses! :D
As sun rises on 23rd March, there will be so much changes in the West ( I hope I can still recongnise my way back home so do all the folks on the West :D )...
Elbo=/=178 and 187 only, 852 has them now.
Scania appear on 173=/=Impossible.
Service 106=/=S-POP Mascot, good bye! :D

YIDEP roster confirms that 985 will be stealing 852's UK Lances too. 171 will be stealing 75's Scanias.WRI roster (2nd floor canteen) confirms that 852 will get spare Nissan UDs from WLDEP + 3 Elbos from 970.

Let's say if got cameos within depots,Services 61, 173, 177 possible to have Scanias (or maybe Nissans from WLDEP too).
Service 61 possible to have Volgren bendies too.
Services 700 and 970 possible to have DAFs and/or Hinos.
Services 106 and 190 possible to have Lances (or maybe Nissans from AMDEP too).Who knows, might happen one day...
Anyway when service 961 came under partial AMDEP in Jan 2008, already starts to have Lances cameoing on the 2nd day though AMDEP side is fully Merc fleets

Could be:
Fleet addition, Fleet reduction or moving of one bendy to S-shift. -
I would rather sv 852 to come under KJDEP or AMDEP. WLDEP would only dump lousy buses to sv 852

If this really takes place then KJDEP will protect sv 178 from getting full nissan fleets, will give dafs or hinos instead

Svc 852's UD's should not be there for long... if I am not wrong they are due for scrap in 2009. They were bought in 1992 or 1993. It is already past the 15 year limit.

To be exact, now is 17 years lifespan. According to one motoring website it indicates lifespan expires around April 2010. SBST can afford to keep their buses up to 19 years. Hopefully no extention to be given to Nissan UDs after 17 years, maybe yes to Merc buses
Anyway SMRT has started to lay up some of its Nissan UDs (like CSS181A, CSS185P, CSS192T, CSS196H, TIB367A, TIB1249B). Some signs to show that these buses are going to be phased out soon
. Just wait and see. -
Info from 9888Y:
1042E, 1177A on AMDEP slots (A/P?)

Service 859's duties kanna bouced between AMDEP and WLDEP many times already, since day 1 it was newly introduced. Like cannot settle down in which depot to operate from.Who knows, a few years later skali become partial AMDEP/WLDEP.
-
Should make service 882 under full WLDEP control too
-
i see 652B on 852 aft 835R today...
-
Just took TIB672T on 171 (TQ01), TIB804E on 700 behind it. SgWiki is wrong, it stated that WLDEP 171 has only 6 shifts, all A/P.

Service 190Goobye to 1177A too. 106 commuters will remember your three section windscreen...
Some observant commuters might be shocked to see another three section screen bus with no dress rims on service 106 today as well! TIB1238H heading to MCT along BB East Ave 3 around 0920hrs.
After that, along the way more could be seen...
61-TIB487L
61-TIB734Z
852-TIB373G
852-CSS191X
970-TIB762S (ex-AM 859)
970-TIB786Z (beware the slowpoke bus!)
985-TIB1011U
985-TIB911D
(171-TIB622M (norm) --> Corrected.)
