  Batch 2 OCs will be released soon.

  Today saw a new new OC at 1.30pm, heading to WLDEP via   BKE --> SLE --> W'lands Ave 2 --> W'lands Ave 9 --> W'lands Ind park E9[WLDEP].

  Not registered yet, but rego could be SMB68R or SMB69M.

  Put at 187 first!!! But I tink it won;t be fast coz WRI nvr upgraded PIW accessibilities yet.

  Tink 171 might get 1st coz it is offically WAB service, credit goes to AMDEP.

  I think only Berth 1, cos its like Bt. Batok int., where 1 berth is for PIW boarding. But if alighting, then maybe yah, WRI needs all berth to be renovated.

  Kewl! I hope these Batch 2 OCs would be perm on svc 911 since SMB66X really wants OCs to be on his fav svc.

  Jus 4get 2 say:

  Jus becoz the new OCs inside WLDEP does not mean tat WLDEP will intake OCs. Maybe parked at bus assembly bay 1st, den assign 2 respectively depots. Hope it 'stays' at WLDEP 'forever'.

  4 SMRT:

  Bus assembly is at WLDEP

  4 SBST:

  Bus assembly is at HGDEP

  Why would the bus assembly be in WLDEP when all the buses have their bodywork built?

  WLDEP is the depot where they will fix the EZ Link readers and all other equipment, progamming the EDS etc. In other words they just set-up the bus to be ready for revenue service but they are not building the bus bodywork ... ...

  Meaning all SMRT buses will fix EZLink Readers at WLDEP only?

  Saw two of the new SMRT OCs on BKE just now.

  One has EDS showing: <<SMRT logo>> SMRT BUSES
  
  Another one interestingly seems to be showing "12 Bedok - Clementi".

  No rego spotted as all rego plate locations are covered by blue trade plates.

  SMRT Bus. I think the "12 Bedok - Clementi" programming is a default test message for C&C. The SBS Transit demo also displayed the same thing.

  Wait till LTA build a lift or ramp from ground level to the interchange 1st...

  But then, WLDEP can take in OC500LEs for services like 171 which is going to be WAB soon. Others can be deployed to services like 61, 167, 859 etc.

  I can see they are building already,

  hmm, if it cameo on a WAB service the blue WAB logo will be displayed on the front windscreen. if not, it will not be placed in front, just like SBS Scania KUBs. For the sticker pasted on the door, it will remain as it is even it cameo on other services that are non-WAB.

  I rmb the WAB logo is a very thick plastic card right? So the BC can just take out and in lo....
