  143G not replacing 321J

  Then hw come 321J on 969 frequently? If 321J come 969, 322G takes it duty?

  Maybe some split shift buses exchange with full day one cause the latter need to go preventive maintenance during am break?

  8662M was on Sv 69 yesterday (26 Nov) during PM Peak as well. I don't think its 8/69. Seems more like the arrangement that I think weekdays perm Sv 69, weekends do Sv 8. Cause I've spotted it on Sv 8 lately only on weekends, weekdays its on Sv 69. Hmm. 

  Yeah that why

  I suspect that the crossover duty for 325 has changed to svc 100/325*...
  Many svc 100 buses doing crossover on 325 few times aft more citaros permed... Never seen SBS964U and SBS2666S on 325 crossover trips already.

  I wonder if SBS6199Y have been out of 195 as this bus seems to be running around lately.

  But remember that time 'SBS2615P' posted that Sv 69 still has 4 non-WAB slots? And someone edited 9849K back into Sv 69, which according to 'SBS2615P', yes that's true. But on Wiki, it's as though 9849K directly replaces the de-reg 1932E, which I don't think it's true as of now. Cause I think they are replacing 1932E with a SD instead leh?

  And furthermore, if you look at the fleet on wiki now, there's only 3 non-WABs? But Sv 69 has 4 non-WAB slots still. So even if 8603J out 8662M in, it's still only 3 non-WABs. Even if you assume 9849K replaces 1932E, it's still 3 non-WABs too. See the confusion?

  SBS8246G

  8246G confirmed back to HG 27. New black-number-on-white-background Sv 27 perm stix on A-pillar of BC cabin. Very clearly pasted over the previous one. 

  And it's definitely not the previous Sv 27 perm stix it had when it was perm 27 when new new years ago. The previous 27 stix IIRC was a white-number-on-black-background, not this current one. The one it has now, is a new Sv 27 perm stix.

  Got the feeling that 8243P is back on 27 as well.

  6226C and 6227A went back to spare.

  HGDEP seems to be deploying back K230UBs on 27, 34 and 151. Whereas the Citaros go to 159 and 325.

  I think the Citaros are going to the feeders or something. Basically the services with reasonable demand during off-peak to justify the higher number of seats on the Citaros..

  Quite obvious 27 & 34 can't do with alot of Citaros. One or two still possible. But minority fleet won't make it in the long run. Cause the BCs are used to squeezing in pax fast into the wider aisle in the majority KUB fleet, then if you force them to drive the 1 or 2 Citaros suay suay during peak hours, you can imagine their frustrations in trying to squeeze people into the Citaro.

  That's probably why 53 can manage to do with Citaros till now. Cause the majority Citaro fleet is just nice for the BCs to adapt. KUBs come, just load pax faster lor. Don't have to adapt too much cause they're more used to squeezing in people on the Citaros instead anyway. You get my point?

  And I spotted 8538P on Sv 53 as well today. I can even tell you that it's the 1153 bus at Blk 210 PSR Dr 1 towards CGA for the past couple of days & weeks. Stuck on that timing for ages already.
  
  When was there a missing bus in the 1st place? 8164J like what 'SBS 6078 M' said? I'm not doubting his words, but it seems to me that it's weird that I still spot 8164J on its usual timings? So I don't think that bus's out yet. Why I say so too?
  
  8538P I checked today. There's no perm stix on the bus at all. None on the coinbox, BC cabin, window or elsewhere. None. 8538P seems more like SP now instead. Cause IIRC it did have a 410 perm stix a few months ago when it did the 5060U x-over from 410 to 53 during peak hours.

  Sorry.

  It's okay. Sorry if I was too straightforward, just trying to bring my point across about the 8164J situation cause it was very confusing. Hope you understand. 

  8538P is more like SP now though. Not perm 53. It's replacing some bus that's in the workshop, that bus I don't know which one is it. Although I've not seen 8885L for some time. 8164J is still on Sv 53, 6010H is back too. Unless it's 6011E which went MIA these few days..

  Do keep a lookout for the 53 fleet though, esp the buses I highlighted like 6011E 8885L.  The other KUBs & Citaros are safe as of now..including the 3 Euro IVs.
