SBS890Z
(BN SP) - (BN 39)
Apologies for the lag in updating, but 890Z is the confirmed bus replacing 771J. First week 771J's timings done by 8416H (that's why i put the status at temp perm BN 39 then), but subsequently 8416H went over to do cameo on 15 lately instead while 771J's timings covered by 890Z in the past 2 weeks. So 890Z is the one that went in, not 8416H. Sorry for that.

(BN SP) - (BN 12)
This is the fleet add for Service 12 following 7329H's switch to do a morning trip for the second 538 trip. Done Service 12 for at least 2 months already. Yes I know this fleet add is supposed to be a WAB fleet add, but currently BNDEP has no more new Wrights, so yeah this is sort of like a stop-gap measure before any new Wrights come.

Suspect 187 will take them
TIB728S TIB742A TIB745S are weekend 184 perms.

With 730J too?

Which is why spotting perms on SMRT services is much harder... But true enough, 504X seems to be back on 858 after being spare and 960. There are some bus deployments that I wish to edit, but the problem is, next week a newer wave of WAB bus deployments for 187 852 857 would mean a change of bus deployments, so posting these deployment stuff now would be deemed useless. Examples would be how 249K 250E are 961 replacing 451P 452L and how 660C is perm 187. Next week the deployments would change by at least 50%, cos WAB quota for all services is 2/3, but at least 50% of WAB fleet is fullday (SMRT standard).
It seems like the SE buses that had permed different services respectively might be getting their former buses back. Like 167,859,980 which might get fleet downgrade with effect next week. Just a guess.
970-wise I saw the WAB decal, whereas 187,852 stayed with their fleets.

Yes. 184 confirmed Weekend perms now: 728S 730J 742A 743Y 745S. I dont think 746P is 859 cum 184 anymore though. I suspect 727U is duty 01 now.

970 fleet wont change. The bus fleet is already substantial to be a certified WAB fleet. For those WLDEP services with WAB buses in the fleet that aren't certified services (ie. 75 167 178 856 859 960 961 963 965 966 969 980) MAY get a fleet swap with the current O405s or L113s on 187 852 857.

To be honest, I have a feeling that they might do it on that day itself, Instead of having it planned earlier. We will see on that day itself,Since they don't have the intention to have it earlier.

Then SMB240J and SMB241G are not WAB buses that perm 969?

It's back to the heydays when more L113s and O405s are perming 75, 167, etc...

I always spot TIB504X on 858 after it is out from re-refurbishment.
By the way, I doubt there will be fleet changes to 858 itself.
It seems like 852 and 857 have already started for WAB. Look out for the changes today. Do take note of the current AMDEP 857 buses to see if they are in WLDEP. Do keep a lookout for depot transfers around the depot.

857 had some WAB perms already, but most likely they will get more.

I'm not sure if there is a swap with the AMDEP 857 buses with the WLD citaros, since some of them went over with AMDEP. 6 to be exact.

857 just needs at least 4 more WAB buses.

I heard from elsewhere atleast 6 citaros from WL to go over AMDEP, Even though it is not sure if WL will get the 857 buses.

Strange... An 858 bus on 857.
