  On a side note , suspect TIB1026C is full day perm 700.

  
  TIB1026C's timing is almost identical to that of TIB1062Y's former timing

  I never count the ELBO's, but I took TIB846J and TIB847G today. Didn't see 641H, thought 3 Striders were "good enough".

  0641H
  0655T
  0846J
  0847G
  0848D

  Perms spotted on 852 yesterday:

  0835R
  CSS 0188G
  CSS 0200D

  If the 2 split shifters do not do 852 on weekends, it would be a good sign of treatment from WLDEP. =D

  CSS 0182Y on 178 yesterday.

  i just saw a spamming of Scanias on 852. after one goes, another one comes.

  Service 852's perm listing still the same. CSS178K, CSS187J, CSS191X, CSS193R, TIB373G etc still shown on service 852 BC's duty roster in YIDEP. However seems like WLDEP always deploys majority Scania Striders on service 852. It may be a good thing for service 852 regulars.

  Unlike for service 187, it do not have any Nissan UD perms shown on its roster @ WRI. However service 187 always kana spammed by the same Nissan UD buses almost everyday...

  If I am not mistaken, one of the 2 S-shifts on service 852 during weekdays does an additional full day shift on weekends (AM/PM11).

  11 buses during weekends?

  The AP11 slot is covered by TIB 0835R. Took it just 2 days ago.

  Yup, remember the YIDEP duty roster shows TIB835R assigned to 852 AM/PM11 on Sundays.

  If that's the case...

  • Services 61 and 176 will get bendies and Merc rigids from service 960/963
  • Service 960 will get bendies from service 61
  • Service 963 will get rigid Mercs form service 75 (maybe DAFs too)
  • Service 75 will get rigid Mercs from service 61 (or even Lances )

  Btw service 77 should also become partial AMDEP in this case, since all the Marina Centre group comes under AMDEP.

  Maybe should also make services 852 and 966 partial AMDEP/WLDEP.

  I believe they're starting to make Harbourfront come under KJDEP. Hope 855 gets a share of it too. =)

  I have a feeling that this is the last piece of the puzzle to fit into the depot controls.

  Yea I was also thinking 77 to be under partial AMDEP. Whatever that comes after Ang Mo Kio heading south should be under AMDEP. xD

  852 won't be under AMDEP for as long as I know. 852 = 2nd BBDEP 198.

  966 partial AMDEP would be good since it can save the fuel buses off service to the east instead from all the way up in the north.

  No news of BB Route Group under full WLDEP?

  Yup they're transferring them out like mad... after all AMDEP gained 10 buses when 961 became partial AMDEP control so I think they're trying to clear space by giving away extra buses. Still AMDEP has a shortage of rigids...

  So far I can only garner this much info about rigids x-ferring out of AMDEP...

  0184S
  0189D
  0194M

  0490B
  0496K
  0497H
  0505T
  0577K
  0756K
  0757H
  0762S
  0821E

  12 buses out for now. (Feel sad for 0757H... long time permer on 171 just snatched away like that. One of the best rigids too...)

  KJDEP >> Harbourfront like from one end of Singapore to another (top >> bottom)

  Anyway service 855 in the past was once a minority KJDEP too, DAFs were on service 855 before somewhere in 1996-1997.

  CSS184S, CSS189D, CSS194M are all permers on service 975 now 

  TIB496K, TIB497H, TIB505T, TIB577K, TIB756K, TIB757H, TIB762S had been with AMDEP all the while since new in 1995-1996. And now they made their first ever transfers out from AMDEP.

  For TIB490B and TIB821E  back to KJDEP

  Easier for AMDEP to do off service from depot to Marine Parade.

  SMRT should also consider service 882 to come under full WLDEP instead
  (meaning the full day bus will be under WLDEP instead of TIB784D from AMDEP)

  TIB 757H is a unique bus... just like other buses including TIB 502B, TIB 581Y and TIB 912B. All their rear rego plates are fixed at the bumper instead of the engine cover. =D

  Yeah throw Sembawang to WLDEP... Anyway TIB 784D's condition looks terrible, don't know what happened to it.

  I'm hoping for Sembawang services to be under KJDEP although I'm quite sure it won't happen. I'm really sick of the Scania L113s and Dennis Lances in the area.

  Eh no leh,for 963 both start at WDL as the main starting point ditto for 176 if really happens.Just like 167 @ 980 where both depot start at the same Interchange.77 cannot leh just 11 buses no point.965 should be handed fully to AMDEP.

  I predict only these few services will happen..

  S61:AMDEP to handed over 11 duties to WLDEP

  S960:WLDEP to handed over 4 duties to AMDEP

  S75:KJDEP to handed over 4 duties to AMDEP

  S67:AMDEP to handed over 4 duties to KJDEP

  Others i wont think will happen......
