Redeployments (Part 10)

  Well, simply, if a deployment for a bus is unstable and its not confirmed whether it is in or out from a service, give it time. More than 1 week. Because the starter might just throw any bus to that slot and the next week, the perm bus might come back. I would give at least 3 weeks to 2 months to see whether a bus is really out.

  finally after 7 months of 960 permers (772M and 773K), It's great to see 'em having a chance cameoing on other services

  wonder why 859 got no more bendies now?Is it because of the loadings?

  859 still have bendies... Just that not as many as before.

  No bendies on 859 is a misconception.

  went past amdep at night before.. they dont seem to have shortage of parking space.. same for brbp as the occasion was the same night..

  Overnight parking has helped to a certain extent..

  no.. AMDEP is running out of spare buses... laid up buses too fast...so still got plenty of spaces. it did have over 50 spare buses in the past.. but recently the spare buses were down to less than 30..  that why i have predicted that BNDEP might transfer buses over recently... why no DM3500 come over?

  e DM3500s are to be used for JB svcs when mk3s are phased out.

  but strangely they did not take e newly-regged eevs..

  i rather amdep revive these merc WAs/CACs to spare until they reach lifespan expiry instead of laying up super early.

  i doubt they are using dm3500s with CCTVs installed for JB services. if im not wrong BNDEP can give 2794E and 2826Y to AMDEP which has CCTVs installed while they were at AMDEP previously.

  Thanks for taking the effort to spot buses and their perm status. But for the 187 OCs, give it time, because it might just be a temporary deployment to see if its fit enough for the route. I will check on 483Y, 488J, 633G and 802K. I doubt 119 - 122 are perm 187, but it depends...
  

  
  TIB772M might be 961 perm.

  that will be at least 1-2 years later.. they transferred so many DM3500 over to BBDEP but now all are perm on BB/AR services instead of Sv160/170... so BNDEP can transfer their DM3500 such as 2794/2826 over to AMDEP..

  TIB542K is still on 960, with the same perm 960 BC.

  TIB488J on 960 today again, also same perm 960 BC as of yesterday.

   960 now operates on a jumpbus system, similar to 963 and 966.

  From what I know, 859 has fewer passenger. And even if a rigids came to the berth very late, there is only a few passenger.

  Loads from 859 comes from Chong Pang and Sembawang Estate, not from either interchanges.

  KJDEP 700 to WLDEP ( today on 178).
  
  Seems that more KJDEP O405 buses were x-fered to WLDEP, due to the incoming of new OCs dispatched to KJDEP.

  It's already on 980 last Sat.
