  What about Hougang to Sengkang part? Then the bus stop before Buangkok MRT currently only served by 27 will have no bus service?

  My proposal for fleet upgrade/downgrades

  87 - full DD fleet, maybe cut 1 SD slot

  99 - 1 KUB to DD, I've noticed that the SD slots are mostly on back-to-back slots even after being converted to bi-directional, IMO it would be better to alternate the SD and DD slots

  111 - 1 more AP DD

  180 - convert to WAB, add 2 A22 for AP while retaining the O405Gs

  187 - cut 6 A22s, add 3-4 O405Gs

  188 - replace SMB8033M with 1 DD or 1 O405G

  198 - full DD fleet, SD buses leaving at 5pm+ can be packed to the door, though 157/174 does take some of 198 loadings as well but 198 seems to have the best frequency and running on almost a full DD fleet, I've noted that some people will take either 157 or 198, depending on which bus departs first

  302 - replace 1 O405G with SMB8033M

  979 - add 1 AP O405G slot (from 302)

  Dear all,
  
  I just want to share with you all my experience with Newcastle Custom Tailor at Upper Cross Street. The shop at Holiday Inn Atrium is under the same boss. My experience with Newcastle Custom Tailor was extremely atrocious. Initially i was hesitant to share this but after some deep consideration, I hope you all will not have to go through the same experience as me.
  
  There were at least two things that went very, very wrong:
  
  First, initially, during the first visit, they charged me $370 but during the 3rd session, when I went to get my clothes, the boss demanded that I pay $440 in total. His rationale was that there was a mistake in the calculation during the first session and the actual amount should be $440 instead. When he told me about that, I immediately shared with him that I believe the mistake was genuine but it was definitely unreasonable for me to pay another $70. The reason was simple: the tailor promised to give me a discount if I get more pieces from them. But $440 was the full price for the 6 pieces of clothes. So 0% is the discount I get from buying more pieces? I am amused. Honestly, I could have reported this to the authority but I did not want to blow this out of proportion.
  
  
  Second, the tailors are extremely unprofessional and their workmanship is atrocious. During the fitting session, which is one week after my initial visit, the pants that I got was too short. It was at least short by two inches. Can you believe it? I do not think such a situation should even arise at all. Nonetheless, the tailor was at least nice enough to alter for me without any complain. One week later, I went to get the final version. Out of my horror, the pants - this time round, two pants, not one- were still short and one of them was so tight that I couldn't wear it properly. 
  
  
  My friends and colleague can testify that I am a reasonable person. But the situation was really atrocious.Take care and choose the right place.

  151: Remove the perm CDGE from BBDEP side.. I don't think there is extreme loading on 151. 151 needs higher frequency, not DDs.

  BBDEP can get rid of 2 DM3500s, SBS2789X and SBS2830J.

  BBDEP hand over 10 duties of 48 to BNDEP.

  SBS2789X will be scrapped. The duty will be transferred to BNDEP and done by SBS6116L from BNDEP 109. 

  3 existing spare non JB registered SDs to perm 151. 1 fleet add, 1 replacing SBS2830J, and 1 downgrade from SBS7313C.

  Actually 109 no need for Bndep to control minor of its duties since Hgdep to CV isnt that far either.Service that need dual control for fuel and reliability effiency is svc 16,48,63,100,506 to name a few.

  Just for fun / fleet balance:

  7: SBS7393X in, SBS3155T out (no perm CDGEs from BBDEP)

  14: SBS3093M and SG5360R in, SBS7344M out (no perm SG Wrights from BBDEP)

  80: SG5356D in, SBS7411C out (no perm Wrights from ARBP)

  196: SBS8523G out (cut 1 SD)

  Why does 14 and 196 BNDEP still have perm Voith CDGEs? And 1 BBDEP Voith CDGE with rego ending with double 4!

  It will be good if they take out the one with triple 4 as well. (SBS7444H)

  198: 1 SG Wright in, SBS9590E scrapped (no perm SG Wrights from ARBP)

  201: SBS7391B in, SBS3093M out (no perm CDGES)

  With GCM now, I don't think they will convert services to dual depot. Unless they can have 2 operators operating one service. For example, Service 143, if they can have SBST and TT dual operator on the same service.
