  Maybe SMB19H can replace one of MBO405 perm buses as AMDEP need to x-fer some of them to WLDEP because of intaking of latest batch OC.

  SMRT pay SMRT to place ad and specify 854 only.

  Hopefully they have improved the bus performance and the squeaky doors.

  Well, the story goes like this...

  The destinated SMB135E driver is the one who used to drive TIB527E followed by SMB45G if I am not wrong. When SMB135E became service 854 perm according to YIBP roster, SMB45G was handed over to the SMB19H driver (SMB19H is supposingly to have become AMDEP SP by now). As SMB135E was still unable to be on the roads yet, SMB19H continued to run on service 854 with the destinated SMB135E driver in charge (so called drivers swop OC500LEs with one another instead ).

  Well, let's wait and see tomorrow whether SMB135E will be back on service 854 tomorrow morning instead of SMB19H. Expected to be on AM/PM01 duty for this week.

  SMB135E is doing Split shift 854 today, should be off service already.

  haha...doors no more noisy hydraulics already. and the gearbox doesn't drag that long on the 5th gear already, which is a better sign of it getting into 6th gear. slightly better pickup imo...

  As guess right that SMB135E will be back on Mon. But doing split shift means all 854 OC permers remains?

  Cheers.
