  At times i wonder why this 4 buses were transferred to WLDEP in the first place (725A,731G,750B,753T) from their respective depots and why some buses that were transferred from WLDEP to other depots became perm spare like 448A,449Y,456B,616G,534J.

  To replace the soon-to-be out 42-43 series

  178 got 17 buses? You got to be kidding as freq is as erratic as before, Some duties also nvr run end up front bus move 5 min late rear bus 6 min late..966 I doubt got 13 splitters. .Smrt chap pa lang style leh use sp or other svc bus to cover perm bus cause of breakdown or not enough BCs

  178 frequency can be bad really even with 2 BSEP. 966 for 4 BSEP splits. I know 432U and 434P are S1 starting from 3+. 780P starts at around 4.30pm for S1 split. 584P is S1 5.30pm bus. 587G is S1 slightly before 584P. I took 966S201 before but the bus is a cameo. 

  So i can only confirm 10 splits in 966. 

  I am unsure about 516L,781L,777A,316A status. 316A is perm but like not fixed timing, 781L reached WRI near to 6pm, 516L i am not sure this is split or full day. 777A also

  SMRT BSEP with perm service would often on their perm service almost everyday except for split ones wich only appear on weekdays. The undeployed one are like Spare to me.

  I wont think that Smrt is so generous adding more buses to services they once want to withdrawn few years back...Only kena complained or stomp kaw2 then will do something

  Any perm stix? I know 6154B has visible cut off guides but is it taken off? Is this a suspicion or?

  Note that the 159 perm citaros run around other services on afternoons but in the mornings and evenings are back doing the swt trips...

  The problem with 178 is most of them is way off time early.

  Took 797S on 178 and it reached WRI half an hour early. 2314 reach 2250 and 809S 1342 reached 1330 (reached early)

  I even had the time to take until Marsiling MRT station and come back with a different bus.

  There is this same user on sgwiki editing the same posts here and I believe this user is xenon. We all do know that the 159 citaros tend to run around sometimes and striders temp replaces them and he is editing the citaros out from there.

  Do you guys realise that this perm 159 citaros always like to cameo on WAB services.They are short of WAB buses. Until now,I don't understand what is happening to HGDEP,don't want to take in the batch 2 citaros

• Lsk138

  22 Sep 13, 21:46

  And also 159 still not a WAB svc mah so they just take this perm citaros to other svcs dat having WAB svcs to support and exchange those SP dm/striders back to 159

  Not only Citaros, even new WEGs HGDEP also refusing to take in nowdays. Until 161 also have no upgrade at all even with its B1 VO3x deregistered.
