  60L and 25P are both seen on 171. I don't know whether it is a fleet addition. 25P has been seen without fail ever since it returned from what I suspect is preventive maintenance.

  Look at WLDEP with their habit of playing around. Not serious in helping with 852's WAB quota at all.

  Seriously speaking, for all services, what's WAB quota? Perhaps there is a valid reason why not all 852 buses aren't WAB. You can also ask why are WAB services like 143, 147 still using the older double decker buses. The only service which I admit which barely scrapes the WAB quota for SMRT are now 61, 855 and 950 (until today, it made no sense to make 950 WAB).

  SMB193L and TIB674M are still on 852. There were also only SMB146Z to SMB148T on 852 from AMDEP... 

  He may be correct this time round. Last time when he edited the new bus fleet for Svc 980 we didn't really believe him, but it turns out to be correct!

  Spot the 852 fleet for a few more days. The change may have been made just today.

  That was because S61 & S855 WAB buses were put on S slots, thus leaving the fullday buses with just the bare 50% WAB quota.

  Since last month, both services have had their WAB buses swapped with non-WAB ones to fullday and S slots respectively, boosting the fullday WAB quota up.

  And also, no perm stix are spotted but some of the wrights [ SBS3320H is one of them ] have a big piece of paper placed on the steering wheel with ''50'' written on it. Maybe they are HGDEP's?

  Then I suppose SBS3322C also belongs to HGDEP.

  Both on 171 simultaneously? The last time out I checked 60L's time card was 25P's time card and yesterday happened to be the same because 64B was behind (25P was infront, Don't think I saw 60L).

  If you ask me as to the previous post why I posted it, I am not happy with the percentage of WAB buses being deployed on 852 because they have the history of getting played around with. Sometimes I even saw almost the full fleet getting swapped like on one occasion I even saw 911D (With 852 full desto) and 426M on 852, Not sure if 146Z 147X 148T (could be any 2) that went missing.

  851 leaving 798P as the sole split that I can close one eye, 171 only 3 old school buses 496K 497H 623K (2R 1S) is acceptable, but 852? 10 and almost half of it are non-WAB buses. 

  I don't expect a full quota of WAB buses if the services require the use of bendies(187 851), but it would be best if it is 90% or so no lower than that.

  ytd SMB189A SMB191S SMB192P TIB671X TIB672T were all mising from 852 with random adless MAN replacing them

  Now this is ironic,AMDEP notorious of having the most smallest and cramped depot in Singapore takes in another 3 more duties from 852 for what sia?980 back to old time also for what?In return which dual control duties are they reducing?851 partly WLDEP?

  I would prefer if it is reduced to 2, not 4.

  Ok AMDEP 3 But have you seen 146Z 147X 148T getting their blocks messed around with?

  16 Dec 12, 13:14

  Aiya still perm mah,afterall SMRT previously got plans to cut 178/852 but didnt cause of public outcry..So contend for me.Last time more worse ah,UDs regular from AMDEP.Still i prefer KJ/AM rather than WL.Frankly i love if WLDEP gain control over Yishun.AMDEP full control 853,854 & 857 only.For Bt Panjang KJ/WL control with 75/970 dual control with AMDEP,180/184/920/922 full WLDEP and the rest full KJDEP.858/960/966 partial AMDEP.882 give to WLDEP.Sure AMDEP no need to do ONP at Sembawang and Lor 1 anymore.

  You can't expect all three buses to be on the road everyday. There are maintainance to be done n AMDEP dun really have much sp wab buses.
