Service 82 was cutback to terminate at Serangoon in Dec 2003 and became AMDEP controlled with 0405s and CAC Scania N113CRBs, Serangoon route group was under AMDEP that time. At that time service 82 faced a downgrade from VO3x/Tridants/VSO to those older 0405 fleets.It was in Sept 2004 when Serangoon and Eunos route groups swopped depots, service 82 went back under HGDEP but only single-deck Volvo fleets. Note that double-decks were never seen on service 82 again after the route was cutback, service 82 was also downgraded to PAC between 2005-2008 when NAC Volvo MK2s were made perm.

It is stated in the TL Guide 1998 or earlier.. You may want to check back the sv 181 route details on those older versions of the TL Guide (if you have one).
Saw one photo in the past showing 130 having DDs, why aren't they having it now?
Just wondering which depot used to control Svc 123 during its short 1 month plus tenure in serving between New Bridge Road and Tomlinson Road (Loop) during 1993 before being amended to Bukit Merah and Bukit Purmei Avenue?

Somewhere around 1999-2000.

No. TIB1032J TIB1037X TIB1039R came into WLDEP together from KJDEP and was made to perm WLDEP 911 together after being SP for some time. TIB868X TIB878S were also transferred from KJDEP to WLDEP at the same time and were SPs before perming WLDEP 169. Due to TIB1037X moving to AMDEP 106, TIB868X was redeployed to do WLDEP 911 replacing TIB1037X while TIB878S movd to WLDEP 900 replacing TIB1025E which left for WLDEP 187. TIB1066L and TIB1090R replaced both TIB868X TIB878S for WLDEP 169.
When was the year where 167 start taking Scanias from 178 and from some other services? and is upper thomson road the reason why 167 has to go under AMDEP?
Also how many mercz/scania did 853,854,855 receive when they were in WLDEP for a short time?

Unsure the year though. But TIB649L was one of ex-178 permers went over 167 iirc.
So, AMDEP 167 changes duty at Bukit Merah Interchange?

Along with 645Y and 647S.
But Bukit Merah eligible under AMDEP? don't think so there

So were there any replacements made for the 178 Scanias that went over to 167?
And also when did 750B and 776C became perm on 853?

Nissans were placed on 178, previously they were SP buses plainly running around on svcs like 75, 167, 178, 187, 961, 980.
As for TIB750B and TIB776C, somewhere in 2000/01.

410W/G used to have LO2Xs, it doesn't have DDs anymore either.

Those buses were former WLDEP 167 before they are JB registered.
When was service 41 amended to Bukit Merah Interchange from Redhill Terminal and why was it closed?
What buses did it use before the DM Leyland Atlanteans?
I remembered that there was a service 133A before. It piled CTE instead of the usual route of 133. But which part of CTE?

15 Sep 1985. It was under the 2nd phase after of the Chai Chee Road Terminal closure. This service was then extended to Bukit Merah Interchange to serve the Bukit Merah Town Centre from Bedok Interchange.
MB O305 DDs were also used.

One part was in Braddell Rd.

Tat time the govt was keen into rationalising bus terminals into mega bus interchanges today.
But it seems they want to go back to e old days w/ smaller integrated public transport hubs.

The Chai Chee Bus Terminal shifting
As announced by the HDB, the Chai Chee Bsu Terminal was acquired for the new developments under the proposal by HDB. As such, majority of the services are being called at Bedok Interchange, as the concourse had been expanded to acconodate more parking space for end-on berths.
There were 2 phases of the shifting carried out. One was on 8 Sep 1985 and the ohter was on 15 Sep 1985. Two bus stops along New Upp Changi Rd (8402-A & 8402-Z) were erected outside the terminus for boarding/alighting activities, to utilise the services that serves Bedok Interchange.
Overview of the changes:

221 - Bedok to Bedok North Ave 3 (Loop)
227 - Bedok to Bedok North Depot (Loop)
401 - Bedok to East Coast Park Svc Rd
All of its trunk services were shifted to Bedok Int, inclusive of Speacial Service 401. As for its feeders, 221 introduced a 2 plate system while 227 was amended to serve Bedok North Ave 1 & Bedok North Rd, at the same time its looping position will be at Bedok North Depot instead of Bedok Interchage.
PHASE 2 (15 Sep 1985)
33 - Amended to serve New Upp Changi Rd, Geylang Rd(I)/Sims Ave(O), Dunman Rd/Old Airport Rd, extension to Bedok Interchange.
41 - Extension of service to Bukit Merah
44 - Service withdrawal.
219 - New feeder service from Bedok - Bedok South Rd (Loop)
220 - Extension of service to Bedok
221C - Service withdrawal.
