  45G was doing training at SBW today, one SL teaching another 2 SLs how to operate the manual ramp as well as pointing out different parts of the engine / tanks to them.

  They later drove off at around 5.05pm, using Sv980 route.

  Not for 882. The load doesn't justify the need.

  The SL declared breakdown after consulting with OCC. Raiser was raised beyond normal height and the bus was bouncing badly even under slow speed.

  Today is the only chance you get to see OC doing this x-over. Next week, TIB908P will do the slot.

  Just like the Scania virus.....lol. But at least got difference, the OC500LE "virus" is more comfortable and nicer to accept!

  KJDEP take in another 13 buses. So what buses it kick out? or they just increase the number of buses doing overnight parking? The laid up KJDEP nissans are still parking at one corner of KJDEP. I dun think there are extra space at KJDEP. even before the OCs come in, they are already parking along the road side at night time.

  It came as a surprise to me also. Till date KJ has only kicked out 7 buses and it took in 30 new ones. The numbers don't tally... unless they are transferring buses this weekend.

  Add on the ex-975 CSS rego Nissan UDs that were being laid up too, around 6-7 fleets.

  Most probably some KJDEP MB0405s would be going over to WLDEP soon. Don't forget that the ELBOs would also be replaced too sooner or later other than the Nissan UDs.

  Cool, thanks.

  So now all the 67 Merc OC500LEs fleets which SMRT announced are already registered and put into service? Are there any more new fleets coming in (rego SMB68R onwards)?
