  the main points i copy and paste from sunday times one. the sunday times did write that services 9, 27, 45, 53, 131, 145, 163, 166, 183 will use DDs instead of SDs during peak hours.

  
  Cool... services 45, 131, 145, 163, 183 gets perm double-deckers. 1st time in SBST history  Looking forward to great deployments soon.

  For services 27 and 53, at most might get fleet additions.

  ST one not correct.

  Ytd evening paper more accurate - ADD or bendy deployment if needed.

  But I still smell more ADD procurment in e coming exercises.

  They could mean the 7 WL OCs (SMB128B - SMB134H), Citaro and Yutong.

  27 and 53 cannot get DDs & 858 cannot get bendy is because of the height limit restriction in Changi Airport (for DDs) and the turning constraints when entering the Changi Airport PTB bus stops (for bendy).
  
  I think the Sunday Times report gets flawed at times.,. The 9 new buses from SMRT might be referring to the 7 OCs to WLDEP, a Yutong bus and a Citaro bus. Sometimes it may lead to confusion that some of them thought that SMRT had bought 9 new bendys when its actually not a true statement

  it's not going to work for long cos they're spares for a reason - preventive maintenance vehicle swap.

  hmm.. perhaps the double-deck deployments might only take place when sbst start bringing in the 150 new double-decks

  Unless they push back LO3x's retirement which I dun think so it's going to materialise.

  shld be as usual, some go 1st, some extend lifespan..

  perhaps 150 new double-decks might oso help in 0405/mk3 retirement

  911 really did the job. Today there is 5 bendy on service. But for 960...not really as 1 bus took me about half an hour...

  I think really only Yutong & Citaro can count.

  SMRT back then announced they further ordering 66 buses (OC). Now say got 9 new buses.

  Sometimes my fear is playing w/ figures.
