  So SBS2888T is the replacement for SBS2614S.What an exciting replacement for SBS2888T.Sekali the new BCs all see SBS2888T then they blur already then they say 'eh how come suddenly got this so new bus as training ah everytime only got old buses weird leh'.If like that happens,then SBS2888T will be the 'star' in HGDEP or will be most 'VIP' bus in the TRG bus fleet.
  
  Come to think of it.SBS1688K has a new friend now.After all it won't be the 'solo' demo excluding SBS997A in HGDEP.

  2888T was a hgdep bus all along until they decide to swap it with 1688K.

  Yeah, might actually be a good thing if it turns out to be HGDEP SP or BNDEP SP.

  
  if going back to BNDEP, then it will return to 518 eventually. if it stays at HGDEP, it will either run on 62, 74, 107 or 153 (not too sure abt this but not to speculate further)..

  There's no need to excite yourself if you have an Inspector tix of 2888T.

  Just wondering, is it true that once a bus goes into "training", it cannot go out into revenue service? Can someone enlighten me on this? Thank you.

  Sometimes. Depends on whether the bus has its ez link reader removed like some TRG buses.

  Nope. Once upon a time 998Y, 999U and 2888T were also in a single depot =)

  1688K only has a new friend in the daytime. At night 2888T parks at bndep.

  but still should make passengers ride to CBD as comfy as far as possible. 184's weekend demand even w/ UniSIM isn't really tat high

  SMRT Buses short of... Buses...

   

  So why not put this articulated bendy on 184 for loads and the other 1/2 SDs throw to other services which REALLY need more buses *hint hint ah- 6 -em 7*

  cos hougang is the training school. you think hougang has that much space to accommodate so many training buses overnight? Theoretically its possible but it also means overcrowding.

  Each depot (not bus park) has a few allocated training buses. It may be of different models from what the depot has. say 837D is parked at amdep. Every morning the trainer will drive from the depot to the training school to begin the day, and vice versa in the evening.

  On Sat, Svs like 177 dun even operate. What's more tendency 852 or sort svs uses less buses

  
  I might as well place more bendies for 190 & 960 since their load is more than SD load
