  No. It's still SP. Just that it keeps sticking on 171 because it has OC perms. Some other OCs also like to stick on 851.

  The latest batch of OCs have this extra black material under the engine. Anybody knows what it's for?

  Today - 44J & 45G on 171, 46D & 47B on test, 48Z on 811 S1

  I'll attach a couple of photos of the black material, hope somebody can shed some light...

  

  

  
  For safety? In case the bus have another accident like SMB15T, the rear will be abit easy to remake

  a cameo on a service unlikely to ever recieve them :P

  at least compared to the whole of SMRT's fleet, the 132 OCs are sort of " unique " and standing out among the current SMRT buses fleet.

  unlike SBST - 450+ units of the same bodyworked Scanias and standing out too much because it's too common le.

  Guys, only thing i am worrying is that would SMRT have enough parking space to keep their new OCs? By looking at the size of the depots, i think that the depots would be overcrowded if they keep putting in new OCs. Would SMRT have to expand their depots or uttilize another interchange for overnight parking? In my opinion from what i observe currently, they really have to.

  Actually you don't need to worry for them de. XD They can handle it themselves when there's really no space at all.

  WLDEP layup UD & ELBO, take in Merc from AMDEP & KJDEP, while AMDEP & KJDEP continue taking OC.

  The very fact that they are able to register OCs means that their depots can still accomodate the buses.

  It's already a daily occurrence at Woodlands Depot, as far as I know.

  You want to go down and take a look for yourself?
