  • 168. -> Happened on the day of the infamous 168 DD in Bukit Panjang Incident. The N113 also got lost and ended up in Tampines Int
  • 8 -> Both OAC and CAC
  • 31 -> CAC
  • 196 -> Both OAC and CAC
  • Cityshopper Svcs -> Happened more than once but i forgot which sv but most probably the Tampines Cityshopper Svcs
  • 10 -> Both OAC and CAC
  • CT18 -> OAC
  • 7 -> CAC
  • 14 -> SBS3643B

   

  
  U call all this rare cameos?Who will ever forget the king of the rare cameos probably in the whole history of SBS/SBST?
  
  SBS79A on 410 and 55!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  No bus fan would ever have expected a Scania N113 to suddenly cameo on 2 Merc infested svcs.i guess that this 2 cameos by SBS79A will be etched onto every bus fan's heart in Singapore forever and that they shall never forget this throughout their lives.
  
  SBS79A has took a place in our hearts with this solid rare cameos which will never happen again and is history forever already.
  
  As a fool i am always,i forgot to put cash when i took it on 9.
  Why didn't i have this sense back then to put cash on buses which i knew that were going to be deregistered soon?
  
  Anyway,we shall never forget SBS79A's heroic cameos and the other Scania N113's great speed and freezing aircon's as well.They have really served SBS/SBST and Singapore well.Farewell and rest in peace.We miss u!

  Since u like to grumble so much of their de-registeration, why dun u ask SBST to launch a champaign of "Bring the oldies back". Re-introduce back some selected old models of buses like Mk 2, Mk 3, CRB & Merc. Latest bus engine. Same bodywork but modern design, fitted it with EDS & equipped it with WAB ramp. If tht day really comes, i can assure u tht all the bus fans here will fly very high to the heavens.

  
  MK3s?All the MK3s are in svc what.

  The O405s came from AMDepot/BRBuspark rite? I'm sure BNDepot doesn't have O405s...

  If I am not wrong, it was dual depot at that time. Now, it is only BNDEP. :D According to Sgwiki, SBS177A now (BRBP 90) was once (AMDEP 39). :D

  Forgot the exact transition from AM to BN and the no. of times it changed hands but 39 started off under AM control (partial or full I forgot), then I think they found some problem with the changing shift part and after a few exchanges 39 eventually took 238's CRBs to BN while 238 took 39's Mercs.

  Maybe someone can fill up the gaps..

  Service 39 when launch in Aug 2003 it was AM, its after the 2004 rationalisation? the service went fully BNDEP, and i remember the drivers change shift at Tampines Int
