  I agree with that. Last time 793C got ad. It is so easy to spot it on 960. With ad gone its hard to spot

  Exterior is very dirty and looks in a bad shape. The top of the bus is torn badly. Interior is very dirty and not cold at all.

   

  Give this bus some time ba. Just recently took this bus and is still sounds ok. Because the a/c vents are the old type, cant expect the vents can turn any way like the eye ball ones. Therefore it seems not cold.

  Slowly most of the sv159 strider buses are going for repainting and some cosmetic touch up. 2608K just came back with a fresh new paint and red ducts. This bus is still on sv159 today. Impossible to be de-reg with any offical news.

  SBS9193T shld be out of sv72 already. Observed and I only see 9617M, 9620C and 9199C in the morning peak these past few weeks.

  Replacement that went in is 3194E.

  But 3131L was the fleet add into Sv 12 right? not a fleet replacement? Cause the other time I posted it was a fleet add, plus its timings (3131L's) are not on 8205A's..

  the last time sv 12 had fleet add was when P538 got its 2nd trip. 3131 came in after that to replace 8205. timing may not be the same so presumably there is some swapping of the block types in the schedule.

  Woah damn. I always thought 3131L was a fleet add. Cause when it came in, IIRC 8205A was still stuck on Sv 12, though like you said some permers swapped timings. Plus 8205A went to Sv 39 only after the timetable revision for Sv 39, which is about a month+ after 3131L came in.

  So the period in between after 3131L came in, I don't think 8205A did much cameoing though other than on Sv 12. Weird. 

  Just to check again, the fleet add for 538's 2nd trip, the fleet add is one of the 2 Batch 1s? (9345Y / 9317D)?

  Anyway, not sure if anyone has noticed in the latest SBST release, there was a line near the bottom, that said the bus services improved under the quarter of Oct - Dec 2012 (not BSEP). In it, there was Sv 19..which leads me to this:
  
  Suspect:
  SBS3167J
  (BN SP) - (BN 19)
  
  I'm suspecting this because for the past 2 weeks+, for weekdays, if 3167J is in Tampines, it's usually on Sv 19 at least for Peak. And the weird thing is, 3015P is also on Sv 19 on the same days. That means there's 2 Wright slots on Sv 19 for weekdays for the past 2 weeks.

  I tried to find any DDs missing, but none are consistently missing though. Ditto for KUBs. So Sv 19 might have gotten a fleet add, with 3167J going in. I will observe more again to confirm.

  I have no doubt it's still perm 75 because I saw it using its usual block on 75 three days ago... try observing further

  8205 was running around bedok and tampines route group services while spare. i go to the east less often now but i still see that bus running around on routes that go to where i go.

  yes the fleet add was when 9317 9345 came in... that one dates back many months ago. also round the time 7433 replaced some other non-WAB bus.

  The missing one is SBS9306K, which cameoed on 28 for several days. But I'm not sure if any bus replaced 9306K

  Yeah, perhaps 9306K is out. I will check again, but 9242K & 9352B are safe. I didn't see 9306K as often on Sv 19 lately though, but I would 9234J might be kicked first since it's the oldest? I'll check again next week on the weekdays to confirm.

  Uh I see I see. Perhaps it was just coincidence then that I spotted 8205A on Sv 12 after 3131L went in. Thanks for the update. 

  7433P sub 9809B or 9828X (one of those two, can't recall exactly which), but IIRC it sub 9809B. Cause 9828X went out first.

  No no, I know 8612H is not out. Past few days it was on Sv 19.. it did one day Sv 3 last week though. But thanks anyway for the update dude.

  8054T and 8127S not likely to perm AR 16. I dont see them everyday and its other perm buses are still on it.

  I only saw 8127S once last saturday but weekends most of its buses run along other services.
