Walao.makes them quite difficult to catch.last time i remember,that it was easy to catch CAC UDs on 975 because there were more of them.then when CSS195K went for lay-up,the remaining CAC UDs were changed to S-shift?

Most probably the Nissans will go when SMB39A - SMB43L comes into service.

Yea..sad to see the Nissans finally retiring.

Speaking of which, are all the Nissans scrapped or is there some lucky units sold to overseas just like the B10M MKII?

Farewell to this Nissans also.may all this Nissans rest in peace after serving SMRT and CSS very well.i still remember that CSS183U came to my school in 2006 when i was in sec 1.it was a roving bus then.i remember that i went inside it and there were a few computers to play games and further inside the bus,there were some game stations.good memories.luckily i took CSS183U on 178 two months ago and i have two tickets of it.it was a very good bus.good A/C and speed.

CSS183U used to be perm 980 S102 shift, whereas TIB658K was doing full day. That was in May when AMDEP took 2 more full day duties from WLDEP, TIB934M and TIB939A became perm whereas TIB658K and TIB673R was out. TIB658K remained WLDEP SP for a while and went back to service 980 under S102 shift replacing CSS183U (perhaps could be due to the ad), somewhere in June.
