  Breakdown of remaining Merc 0405s as of today:-

  6 May 2011 batch

  • SBS525D (SLBP 334)
  • SBS528X (BRBP 139)
  • SBS530M (AMDEP 265)
  • SBS531K (BRBP SP)
  • SBS533E (AMDEP 58)
  • SBS536Y (AMDEP SP)
  • SBS537U (AMDEP 135/138*)
  • SBS539P (SLBP 193)
  • SBS540J (AMDEP SP)
  • SBS542D (SLBP 154)
  • SBS543B (AMDEP CT8/268*)
  • SBS545X (SLBP SP)
  • SBS546T (SLBP 193)

  3 June 2011 batch

  • SBS547R (SLBP SP)
  • SBS548M (SLBP 30)
  • SBS550E (AMDEP SP)
  • SBS554U (AMDEP SP)
  • SBS555S (AMDEP 410)
  • SBS556P (SLBP 79)
  • SBS557L (AMDEP 269)
  • SBS558J (HGDEP TRG)
  • SBS559G (AMDEP SP)
  • SBS560B (SLBP 98)
  • SBS561Z (SLBP 79)
  • SBS562X (AMDEP 138)

  Based on the listing above, AMDEP will need 7 replacements (including 2-3 Volvo MK4s for service 138, 135/138 crossover). BRBP need 1 more whereas SLBP needs 8. Seems that the current number of spare buses in AMDEP and SLBP are adequate to cover for the losses on those affected bus services currently still with Merc perms.

  Can forsee services 79 and 193 getting perm Volvo MK4s from SLBP soon.

  As of now service 131 and 139's replacements still unknown after 504P and 553Y left...

  Service 131 got SBS1999M in return, while SBS5002M replace SBS504P on service 139.

  Now BRBP left 2 spare EEVs, one likely to go to feeder 235 for fleet addition whereas another to replace the last merc on service 139.

  Put the Intended Transfer Date as today, and don't do anything inside, just check for laid-up status, de-registration date.

  
  Thanks so much
