  I believe they are temporarily put there, maybe BB might want to dump KUB on 74/93 next time or what.

  maybe, but i was tinking why not kope 2 or 3 SP HG mk3s and convert to BB 74 instead..

  anw, i feel SBST fleet addition is causing some svcs to get reductions instead..

  Haha, can swap some VO3x from SLBP over to BBDEP then allow more VO2x to perm and replace VO3x.

  most likely Vo2x will gone soon... and these SP VO2x should go over to SLBP in exchange with those new KUBs. :)

  take single decks replace vo2x, wont have capacity problems with sv 93 and 74?
  
  they seem to take buses from other services to improve those reported in the news via crossovers, fleet reduction. wont this cause other services frequency to get worsen. then other sv kenna complain and the cycle continues

  183 fleet add really helps. though the queue still stretches up to 97/97e boarding berth with one bus abt every 8 min. i doubt anyone can board after J.E int.
  
  .just my 2 cent worth, not meant as a rant

  Agreed... I wonder what is the purpose of SLBP taking in a handful of new EEVs, and yet SLBP rather deploy a 0405 is going off soon for service 183 fleet addition instead.

  depends on how you see it. Mk IV can take in 84 pax, VO2x can take in 100 pax....

  they seem, because some of these were planned reductions after demand shifted to the Circle Line....

  According to SBST e-guide services 74 and 93 are still reflected as Partial Air-Con service.

  But then even if the BBDEP SP VO2x gets redeployed to SLBP it might be surplus to requirements too as it can only deployed on some SLBP services (182, 192, 193 and JIS particularly as well as 179, 241 and 242 which have no perm VO2X in the fleet) plus SLBP have already have their share of SP VO2x. Unless they would like to deploy VO2X perms on services like 179, 241 and 242 which it seems rather impossible.

  don't forget that LO3x are retiring and you can find them on some PAC JIS services...

  and they choose to deploy strider on Sv182 instead of KUB?

  I think they mean that VO2x cameos are possible on these 2 svcs.

  put all VO2x on Sv179 lah.....most likely these Vo2x will go sooner than LO3x ? better to phase out NAC fleet first. 96 VO2x + balance merc = just nice replace by 150 new B9...

  Those striders that went to service 182 perms were somemore the batch from HGDEP not long ago. HGDEP in return took 7 new EEVs from SLBP (which eventually replaced service 43's MK3s).

  It seems like SLBP take in new buses 1st, then swop within the west district and get the older MK4s in return to replace the outgoing 0405s.
