Wow! Good to hear that and kudos to the engineers and SMRT staffs.

In the 1st place,since wen was 1933C perm 179??
It seems 187 does NOT do overnight parking at WRI. I apologise for any inconvenience I have caused regarding the 187 bus deployments. I have confirmed that 187 has not ever done overnight parking at Woodlands Regional Interchange. Only 169, 965, and the WRI feeders except 912 do overnight parking there.
In other deployment news,
TIB1086D is still a KJ 106.
SMB132M and SMB133K are WL 961.
SMB134M is a WL 187. From what I see in SGWiki, I am unsure which bus does the 187/911E slot now, with these deployments.

the 187/911E slot will be filled by any rigid, like in the past where random rigids popped out around 1330 and start ar around 1400.
TIB1070Z is still a WLDEP 187, NOT a WLDEP/WRDEP 911! Do not edit SGWiki yet until the information has been confirmed.

Hold on, How long it has been doing 911? How come is it still 187 split?

Why SMB133K still with 961 after since it did on 187/911E for most of the time? Today SMB134H just did on 187/911E.

Bus have been doing on 911 for quite a long period. It also exchange with other svc perm buses before. Plus, it is also covering up 1 of the 911's rigid slot.

The bus could be a SP now. I will wait for TIB1051D to help me confirm the 961 buses. The 961 OC fleet is in a mess now.
From what I heard, only SMB134H is a 187 bus.

TIB1070Z is still on the 187 roster. The perm SL told me that bus is still his permanent bus, though he RARELY gets to drive it, and usually gets other buses.
I think 1070 might just be a frequent cameo, not a perm. After all, it is a split shift bus.

doubt it. The damage on the bus itself doesn't seem serous enough.

I bet random OC will do on 187 on the slot 187/911E if SMB133K is really a 961 perm still. So far, only SMB130T & SMB131R is confirm 961 perm.

It will be done by random rigids. Like in the past.

Should be like TIB1182J.

Can explain to me why I always spot SMB132M and SMB133K doing the same slot (both splitters) on 187 everyday? And both were replaced by Volgren SDs long time ago.
For what I know, SMB133K will depart from Jurong Poly at around 7.50am, the bus is before TIB842U if i not wrong. And SMB132M will depart from Jurong Poly at around 8.25am. The bus is after TIB837K, but before TIB640K.
However, recently, both 132M and 133K are replaced by another OCs for cameos.
Note: All towards WRI de.
For what I know, SMB134H is just frequent cameoers of 960 and 961. It will do 187 on occassionally basis though.
And lastly before ending my speech, SMB132M is still on 187 today. It is before or after TIB569J.

After 1070 frequent cameos on 911 to replace one of rigid perms, I never spot it on 187 once.

That is because no perm bendy replaces TIB1070Z yet for 187.......
Ever since after SMB119C to SMB122S were redeployed to 960, 187 is still facing shortage of perm buses.

Well, here is a pic from The Straits Time of TIB1105H:

i don't even dare to have a conclusion about the deployments if WL buses. they are simply in a mess. i'd rather the 961 fleet to stay as it was during 2007/2008. those times were better. although i can't really remember the fleet then, i can remember some that used to be good performers, but now is simply trash. one very good example is TIB542K. it used to have some power, not a lot, but now, it can even face pickup problems. worse still, it is currently being put on AM/PM02, which can have one of the worst loads in the morning. the buses that went to AMDEP, i don't have much worries about them. Kudos to AMDEP in trying to maintain these buses, except for TIB1015J, which came in exchange for an O405 which i don't remember is which one. WLDEP, i can say that this depot is a disaster. a lot of SLs are already complaining about not having their perm buses.
on side note, SMB134H is at Blk 183 towards Boon Lay as at 1538hrs, and i am onboard TIB540R while typing this whole lot of words out.
