In the mid 1990s, many Woodlands and Bt Panjang Services were based at KJDEP (at that time WLDEP wasn't exist till 1999).. only then I knew DAF Hispano were once served on services like 5, 75, 160, 167, 171, 176, 178, 181, 182, 187, 925 & 960 (i can't recall the status of the DAF Hispanos after 950, 951 & 952 withdrawn and I believe some are SP buses) and DAF WAs on Woodlands Intratowns like 911,912 & 913 & trunk svcs like 5, 75, 179, 181, 182, 184, 187, 852, 960 and Bt Panjang feders/services like 343 & 344.. The TIB905Y was never based at WLDEP.. it started from AMDEP 854 , 804 (it ever happens on 82,103, 163, 851 before) and then proceed to KJDEP to do Bt Panjang & Woodlands feeders before settling down to 361/941.. Also to recall many Nissan UDs that based at KJDEP used to serve 181/961 in its KJDEP days before going to WLDEP.DAF on 178 911 etc , still remember taking them last time.
181 uses Hino NACs too.
The DAF Hispano went over to CSS somewhere in 1998 -

Not all DAF Hispanos.. TIB400L to TIB404B was never being handed to CSS.. TIB403G and TIB404B used as Training buses just before withdrawn and sold.. DAF Hispanos I think it was given to CSS in 1997. -

They also used the 811D minibuses on Service 42 (Jln kembangan to Fidelio St) and Service 323 (Hougang South Int to Defu Ave 1).. Mk2s did serve 323 before but due to low demand on that service, they choose to deploy 811D minibuses instead. -

Svc 241, 331, 336 sounds so retro.. Svc 241 and 105 were once deployed using Merc 0405's NAC......Those were the days.... Haha...
U can still catch it.. there is a stationary Leyland NAC bought over by a kindergarden and converted into a "gym bus" it is parked outside the kindergarden in Jubilie Road ( West Coast) which is a double story terrace house. The bus is painted in yellow colour
If you drive along AYE along this stretch you should see it quite clearly
Along AYE expressway towards Jurong after the "clementi road" flyover just before "West Coast Recreation" exit
Wanted to upload pictures of it but do not where to post it as uploading requires some url link
If someone manage to take the picture please upload k?

Yea... I know as well. Everytime I go home via 198, as it travels along AYE, I will be able to see it. Many thanks for your tip-off. Really appreciate it.
