  This is true, but don't be surprised if there are extra buses for this batch...as per what I had mentioned just now.

  I think BSEP will make use of 35** range. At that rate we'll be seeing 3583 being used as BSEP rego numbers by not 1 but 2 contractors for double deckers.

  3937D TO HGDEP ON 147

  SgWiki says 147 is now 50-50 BB/HG. Which route group is it part of?

  165 still HG majority so I say it is HG route group. 166 being majority BB should be CLE rather than AMK.

  Should be BBDEP because BBDEP has no SDs

  (OT, but just going to answer anyway):

  147 is BBDEP majority... HGDEP slots start first in terms of duty numbers before BBDEP.

  The Batch 2 VO3X will go off next year. The Batch 3 VO3X will go after Batch 2 and all will be extended. Why? Because LECIP EDS.

  While browsing through some adverts on Google, happened to come acrossed one of the Rice ad layout which stated:

  (SBS3000G - SBS3299L)
  (SBS3600A - SBS3986L)

  So, maybe this batch will end at SBS3986L?

  SBS3921Z on 132, has Ventura doors, same as HK Wrights...

  Supposedly it may be, since Volvo and Wrightbus both states that Batch 3 now have 565 buses.

  Saw a photo of the exit door on my FB page earlier in the morning, not sure where is it posted though. Basically looks like HK Wright but the panels are still SBST spec .

  Could this be the reason it was registered so late?

  And I guess it is under HGDEP because SBS3951L also under HGDEP and in same registration date. Plus SLBP doesn't control 132.

  Is this because of the SDs and DDs?

  I have no idea... You have to ask someone who knows how they deploy buses. Perhaps BBDEP used to hold more slots then HGDEP, then some of them got transfered over?

  Actually, BBDEP used to have more buses, but HGDEP had a BSEP add (SBS3421A).
