  what im thinking when WLDEP decides to take in OC:

  > After deregistering of Scania ELBOs and OAC/CAC UDs
  > Installation of lift, WAB certified berth & WL Interchange
  > After 'giving away' WLDEP buses to AMDEP/KJDEP

  After taking 75U 4 times this week to school, I think comparing with the Batch 1 OCs, the Batch 2 OCs seems to have a louder hum from the radiator when 6th gear kicks in. Also I felt that the Batch 2 OCs were allowed to reach a higher RPM at 5th gear before shifting to 6th.

  The braking seems more smoother than Batch 1 OCs, but I realise that the light squeaking sound from the brakes still comes in whenever the OC stops. (Not referring to the hiss from the suspension)

  And all that talk about OCs... a cameo I spotted just now. (:

  SMB 81B on Sv171 (AM SP)

  But i tink 925 one should oso be updated too coz they frequently got OC cameos.

  
  969 get OCs every weekday actually due to 969/67 x-over slot

  Speaking of the 969/858/903 berth they kinda did it the 178/911 berth way whereby they fenced up the space outside Causeway Point also .. ....

  If WlDEP gets OC I think they will get probably the last few buses.

  what makes you so sure that the last bus is SMB100E since it has been said that SMRT has ordered 132 OCs altogether?

  non-WRI services oso can lahx. If WLDEP gets OC, priority is 2 strengthen WAB quota of 171 since 171 is partially managed by WLDEP & WAB service.

  BB services: 61, 173, 852

  Yishun: 171, 852, 859

  BP: 920, 922

  4 of these buses tio cameo b4 (Via x-over) 1 of it is alr WAB status

  So, no need 4 all berth + lift repairing 4 WRI b4 WLDEP intakes OC.

  Somemore, I nvr seen lay-up UDs anymore on rooftop liao.

  I have no idea what it is for at the moment, though yes it may be something that's related to the tires. Anyone can shed more info regarding this?

  U should say 854 instead.

  From 0 to 2 (When TIB752X, TIB779U kena kicked out after SMB30Z & SMB31X), den 2 to 3 (TIB524M, TIB573X kicked out after SMB32T became perm, den fleet reduction of 1), back from 3 to 2 (TIB436J replaced SMB30Z).

  Den back 2 'reality' liao. Kosong.

  Correct mi if any wrong, thanks.
