Past bus routes and deployment (Part 2)
-
Which buses served on 350, 351, 353 & 356?
Did Leyland Vikings ever perform any duties in PSR? I know they served BDK and may have served TAM too.

Cos I just read another response to my post on 0405s on Woodlands feeder and that's later by a year also.
Jialat.
Old already.
Eh can't be leh. My memory can't be that bad. Though its really not much different actually. I wouldn't have spent my youth joy-riding on 18 if it had been just SDs and I can recall it is the new VO2X that was exciting....after putting up with the noisy LO2X and 0305, the VO2X was really quite a modern bus to hanker after.
I haven't taken 18 since I moved in 1994.
The VO2X kicked butt while the LAs sucked like crap. Unfortunately 106 was dominated with LAs despite being a CBD service. 7, 10, 14, 30, 61, 65, 190 & 196 all had VO2Xes replacing the LAs/LO2Xes/O305s. Seeing good buses serving on short-haul routes in the east made a west-sider like myself really jealous of those who lived in BDK & TAM.

Service 356: Scania N113CRB (1995-1997)352 had 3641. That was impossible to forget. Another one was 3597.
I have taken 3858 & 3908 on 350, exactly a year apart.
SgWiki says 3705 did 356. Anyone can confirm? Also, I think 3667 did 353 before becoming part of 358 fleet.
As for 227, I have also taken 3718 in addition to 3583.
3641 & 3583 were my favourite buses, followed by the Route 14 CRBs.

When and how many times did 75 shift its depot control between KJDEP and WLDEP?

When and how many times had 856 shifted depot control between AMDEP, KJDEP & WLDEP since its introduction in 1988?

Not sure if this has been discussed in Part 1..
> Kallang Gasworks (Junction of Kallang Rd/Crawford Street..) In the late 80s/early 90s, part of Crawford Street was closed due to something, therefore buses were diverted to a certain road before continuing their journey to Crawford St and so on. Was the road called 'Kg Bugis'? And why was Crawford Street closed?

I need some ans..
1- When did Bedok Int start operation ? Is it 1977,78 or 79?
2- A lot of posts state that svc 225 has never been amended. But I heard when it first came abt, the route/bus stops were slightly different. Any Bus Guides to confirm?
3-Any info regarding Special svc 777 (was it 767 or 757) somewhere in 1988-90 Singapore Airshow? Plied Xilin Ave, Changi Coast Rd..

856 used to be dual AMDEP/KJDEP controlled in the past. Eventually both sides transferred over to WLDEP in late 1998 and this made 856 under full WLDEP then.

Was 856 under full AMDEP controlled before? According to someone, he said that 856 was ever under partial KJDEP before, meaning that it could have been under full AMDEP when it was first introduced.
