  I dun get the point also. Replacing MAN with MAN srsly? Its the same bus with same specs same aircon. Now the former 858 perm goes SP.  Like it doesnt make a difference.

  In case you don't get it, they somewhat are like deploying new buses to Woodlands svc first, then throw old one outs to Sbw etc.  Maybe "training" them on road first before throwing out proudly~ haha

  good for running in the engine as its the longest express sector with a longer service routing as compared to 966.

  Dun be sad WLDEP has more than 100 MANs and alot of SPs to replace the MAN just like how 858 fleet got replaced from 26x to 32x to the current 33x.

  That's not stranger than Svc 980 replacing 5 MAN (313H - 317Y) with 4 older MAN (306 D to 309X) plus one or two O405s

  Hmm probably a spare for 61,860,969 in case their MAN went for maintenance or breakdown?Wldep might be majority MAN,Probably 20 units of OCs and a handful of Citaros while Kjdep might be Majority OCs,50 units of MANs and 12 units of Citaros while Amdep majority Citaros/OCs and probably less than 30 MANs.
