Bus services with different deployment fleets on weekends
-
Maybe I should create a new thread to discuss all about weekend bus deployments, be it SBST or SMRT buses.
From what I notice nowdays...
SBST
Services 62, 80, 87 and 89 have SD replacing DDs on weekends and public holidays.
SMRT
Services 169, 180, 184 and 856 have rigids replacing bendies on sundays and public holidays.
Whereas services 857 and 980 have perm weekend bendies replacing some rigids.

they have perm SD blocks on weekends. 80 VO blocks become SDs, with the B9 only having about 60% of the fleet on Sundays.Other services with more SD blocks on weekends include 10 97 166 196. list not exhaustive.

Svc 22?.

what about sv8 and sv157?

To add on for SMRT,
Service 853 ropes in 3 rigids from service 854 to cater for Sundays and public holiday route to Upp East Coast (normally done by TIB736T and TIB943L nowdays).
In the past service 854 had additional bendies from weekday s-shift to cover for the rigids that go over to service 853. Then there was another time whereby spare OC500LEs from AMDEP will replace bendies on service 854, but the plan had been abolished already. Now is back to normal sunday deployments for service 854.
For TIB736T, it used to do service 882 as an additional full day bus on sundays and public holidays, that was until TIB820H went into service 882 perm due to route enhancement.

These days, 180 seems to be unaffected on saturdays, sundays and public holidays, especially after JP2 opened. Bendies are still deployed most of the time, with the exception of 1 or 2. Guess the demand is still high on weekends with many taking the service to Jurong Point.
176, 190 and 700/700A also have irregular fleet deployments on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays. -
For Service 61, AMDEP side does not really have any difference. But for WLDEP, on Weekends, more bendy buses will be deployed, the least being none and at the most being 2 or 3. Usually these bendy buses are either 1154R or those 963 buses like 1242U, 1073R, 1226S and others.

S8 has 2 brbp blocks converted to SD on Saturdays, with 2 spare buses.
For sunday its full SD for both sides. (with up to 6 converted to SD from brbp, 1 from bndep) Technically speaking if the brbp DDs are not running and all the perm SDs from brbp are running, you can get at least 6 brbp cameos.S157 operates full SD on Sat and Sun. Spare SD blocks comprises of 1 from slbp, 4 from brbp for Saturday. Sunday is 5 from brbp.

S22 operates full SD fleet on weekends. That's why all the spare merc spam the service.. (8 spare SD blocks on Saturdays, 6 on Sundays)Another service in hgdep with lots of SDs on weekends is S62 - 7 spare SD blocks on Saturday, 5 on Sunday. Total fleet running is 16 buses on Sat and 13 buses on Sun (3 DDs run T shift on each weekend)

Service 62's sunday fleets are mainly Scania K230UB fleets from what I noticed, be it either spare Euro 5s from HGDEP or Euro 4s from services 27 or 100. -

180 would get rigids from 67 (mostly), 190 (minority) and SP OCs on Sundays and Public Holiday. Only about 4 to 5 bendies still survive on 180.184 would get rigids from 188 and 190, and SP OCs on weekends.

157 would get SBS201M and other merczs from BRBP on Saturdays.On Sunday, those 94 permers, 8372, 8373, 8472 would go over 157 on Sundays.
Recent weekends, 157 would also get Euro 5 cameos from BRBP like: SBS8976H too.

Don't think the perm status for Sunday permers for 856 are fixed, except TIB731G and TIB733B.So if I not wrong, either one of 178, 187 or 852 perm Scanias would go over 856 during Sundays.

a lot of services do operate full SD on sunday. the effect of this is inflexibility in overnight parking.

Oh, the menu of 62 on weekend usually consist of e.g. 8400, 8450, 8555 and some 87xx fella from wat i see prev.Sat can expect 997A on T shift
. For the DDs, ought to be T but of cos there's full day at times, while the ADD slots of wkends I reckon on rotation basis among the perm buses of 62, with some like 9675 who highly stick on sundays. -
While many service downsize to SD slots on weekends, may I say 147 is a case of "upsize"? 151 DD seems to do weekend 147 often if not always.
Wat about 7, 65? Do they use full DD on weekends?
