  Then where was the problem that prevented 95 from having DDs? Trees along Lower Kent Ridge Rd?

  But if anyone takes the Wrights and approaches YIH from the roundabout it really looks for a few moments that the DD isn't going to clear the bridge. And even as the bus passes the bridge the roof is really really close to the bridge.

  
  The old alumni/staff club bridge where only cars can pass through.. its after that bridge was taken down then 95 was extended to kent ridge.

  Just to clarify, this view is from Simei Ave, right? Perhaps seen from the top deck of a DD?

  wait they deploy wright on Sv18.... haha... anyway, just like whati have mention before, these wrights will most probably replace some SD buses and put the SD as spare...as there will be shortage of SD buses...until the Citaro come in... SBST have to resolve the SD spare buses issue in AMDEP/SLBP for the next three month....

  Haha, that would be another shocker! Actually thinking about it, deploying Wrights on 95 and possibily 96 make sense as they won't have to waste $$ on plastic desto. I think what BNdepot can do for 18 is take kubs from non-WAB services since the load doesn't warrent DD.  Another possible scenario is for the wrights to replace VO 3 axles and they will probably head towards SL or AMK to replace more of the LO 3 axles. Btw, Citaros are coming in June right?

  VO3X batch 1s can serve JIS when they become FAC. The WEGs can cover the duties of the former.
