  I wonder what is AMDEP's plans for all the ex-perm 171/851 spare Batch 1 OC500LEs. Does AMDEP have intentions to xfer them to WLDEP?? That's when the PIW facilities in WRI will be ready.

  Expect to see those OCs with silver-like rims to be pure white when they got x-fered to WLDEP..

  The last time I take TIB562C and spotted that the rims on the left side of the bus << is grey while the right side >> is white.

  I think 5 OCs to KJ, the other 5 to AM.

  By pattern,
  SMB113T - SMB117H(KJDEP)
  SMB118E - SMB122S(AMDEP)

  Someone must spotted it then can know which depot they are really going to.

  If like this means that KJDEP got SMB103Y to SMB117H  15 buses.

  Yah. I think KJDEP wants to balance the number of OCs with AMDEP since SMB19H - SMB38C are all under AM.

  So there is a little chance for WLDEP to get OCs ?

  sooner or later ba because when the O405s starts retiring they have to go for low floor WAB buses.

  That will be in 2-3 years time, provided that SMRT decide not to extend the 0405s.

  SMB116K on 307 (KJDEP SP)

  I felt quite dissapointed when i took this bus today even though the bus is new.
  Reasons:
  > Some of the A/C duct was NOT fitted with the 'A/C direction configurator (if u know what i mean)' It is like 'one have, another don have' kind of way they put. :(
  > The 'blue tint' located at the windscreen of the bus is not properly put; as in halfway done. :(
  > At least 5 maggots were spotted throughout my ride, which was so disgusting! One of them landed to my Samusng MP4 Player and another landed on my neck. Gross! :(
  > Rubbish is found everywhere inside the bus.
  > Many used tickets were strewn all over the floor (maybe its common to see).
  
  I hope the other OCs registered with SMB116K doesnt have this kind of stuffs. :(
  
  Others:
  SMB118E on 985 (AMDEP SP)
  SMB120Y on 985 (AMDEP SP) < Going perm soon? :P

  Folks,
  
  For the ukbus5023, MB Citaro [seen on sBs_boy picture as X26], there is a limited cast of only 1,000 units for release WORLDWIDE. 
  Very seldom are there 2 door buses that are launched in red livery...
  If i am not wrong, Hong Kong is allocated less than 300 units and there will not be any production runs once they are sold out.
  If you are interested, please PM me... i have limited units left...

  Then maybe SMB128B - SMB132M to AMDEP.

  SMB133K, one of the 3 depots. Hopefully it goes to WLDEP.  The last bus.

  Unless WLDEP expand their depot then we can see they take in more new buses.If some new buses go WL then some old buses have to go back to KJ and AM too due to space constraint
