401 Bedok Interchange - Tomlinson Road (Loop)
Please note that 07 June 03 is not on a Sunday. Where did you get this news from? (It is not on SBST website)Originally posted by off_service:From Sunday 7 June 2003, service 401 will be extended to Orchard Road. This service will no longer terminate at Lorong 1 Geylang.
Service 401 will be going to Orchard via Nicoll Highway and the rest of the route is similar to service 14. Other operating details remain unchanged.
The posters announcing this change have been put up all over Bedok Interchange since mid-week. The poster says 7 June, so it might be Saturday instead of Sunday. Then Svc 401 will operate on Saturdays, Sundays & Public Holidays.Originally posted by tranquilice:Please note that 07 June 03 is not on a Sunday. Where did you get this news from?

Quite shocking news for me as I didn't expect this service to be extended to Orchard Rd, considering the service's load and frequency.
Note that service 401 will turn into Stadium Crescent and Stadium Rd first before proceeding to Nicoll Highway.Originally posted by off_service:From Sunday 7 June 2003, service 401 will be extended to Orchard Road. This service will no longer terminate at Lorong 1 Geylang.

I have to disagree with this. Even the PA registered MB buses are used on basic bus services, e.g. service 195 and 282.Originally posted by SBS9818A:SBST seem to have excess of buses right now, the usual Mk IIIs or Mk IVs can be used.
I don't expect to see MK4 on this service after the extension.Originally posted by SBS9818A:SBST seem to have excess of buses right now, the usual Mk IIIs or Mk IVs can be used.
Nope, I don't expect to see any fleet changes, at least not yet. The usual N113s or the Mk3s would be used.Originally posted by tranquilice:Do you expect to see any fleet changes on this service after the amendment? If yes, what are the types of buses you would expect?
If that is the case, it simply means SBST has extra PA-registered buses after fulfilling the need for JI services and chartering.Originally posted by off_service:I have to disagree with this. Even the PA registered MB buses are used on basic bus services, e.g. service 195 and 282.
