  Guess they found that it's better compared to the rest that are deemed un-saveable.

  SBS1909Z had red refurbished air-con ducts and it was repainted like 2 weeks ago if I remembered correctly.

  That's why '7557R' said it was saved with last min extension? But before that it wasn't extended~

  SBS1973L already has cameras like that for months.

  Saw about 4-5 striders parking at the laid up corner of BNDEP. One of them is SBS1932E (BNDEP 69) & maybe SBS1929R (BNDEP 358).

  Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol, Serangoon...
  
  Best catchers for Striders :
  
  11, 85, 89, 100, 103, 107, 112, 132, 325
  
  Though services like 325 have many other citaros perm already...

  85 and 103 is the easiest to catch imo...

  Thanks.

  Just the right places to catch both Striders and Citaros.

  SBS1932E once got burned in Tampines Interchange, maybe that is why it is deregistered though refurbished.

  I would think that its chassis has some hole somewhere after being burned. If it's not something we can see & they're de-reg early, means likely has to do with the state of the chassis itself. 1929R that one is the gearbox giving up.

  Wait until December...
  But strange, wonder why SBST extended the November batches in October?

  Shortage of buses probably. Just look at the shuffle of Mk4s in the West district depots & related services (HG & AR/BB mainly) and you'll know what I'm talking about.

  SBS1974J 
  (BN SP)  (BN 358)

  Replaces the de-reg 1929R. 4 days straight on 1929R's timings, from 20 Nov onwards (ie the day after 1929R was officially de-reg). No e-tt change for Sv 358 as well, so should be a ASD replacement for 1929R. Any changes (if there are) I'll update, but for now, this is confirmed.

  SBS1974J still on Sv 358 as ot today, replacing 1929R's timings. So that's confirmed.

  Any updates on 1932E's replacement?
