  What on earth are the SG53XX buses for? They are not for Loyang package from the way they are deployed.

  Why is SG5185E perm 103 if it is for Loyang? SG5184H in SLBP?

  I think they did a u-turn on how they are intending to use the SG-plated buses.

  From what I know, the 23 non-BSEP B4s are for Loyang, with the other 27 made up of by later-39xx B3 WEGs and B4 BSEP WEGs.

  In my opinion, it is evident from the deployments that 5176-5185 are for BSEP and 5300/5500-series meant for SBST own usage for now...

  based on registration date, the 15 wrights which LTA have purchased from SBST, should be as follow

  3968 3970 3973 3975 3976 3977 3978 3979 3980 3981 3982 3983 3984 3985 3986

  Which most of them are already in Pasir Ris.. except 3970G (from SL 154) and 3981A 3983U (from 89e/89)..

  Sv 12 - 3968P 3973Z 3982Y 3984S 3985P 3986L
  Sv 17 - 3975T 3976R 3977M 3978K 3980C
  Sv 518 - 3979H

  Your list is incredibly accurate I think.  
  Interestingly, it includes 3979H (BN 518)? Granted it's alr on 518 (a Go-Ahead svc by itself).. 

  Now this list finally made me understand why they skipped 3972B and 3974X and never transfer those 2 to BNDEP..3972B & 3974X registered later than the rest by then? (I forgot alr)

  5176-5184 might be going to bulim...while 5185 to 5299 for loyang? loyang does not need that much DDs though..(current fleet need only 101 DDs excluding Spare).

  53xx series should be replacement buses for SBST to cover some of the BSEP slots.. remember right now SBST buses are covering those BSEP slots....dun think LTA will be buying over these buses... so guess LTA will lease it from SBST...

  total wrights under LTA should be 3300-3448 = 149 +  415 units under batch 4. = 564 units? so rego will be up 5564?

  Your numbers for DDs required by Loyang are based on current fleets of the affected svcs? I do think that certain svcs under Go-Ahead will need some SD-to-DD conversions once the full KUBs-to-Citaros conversions take place for certain svcs (eg Sv 12 and 518)..

  based on current fleet is 101 DDs and 216 SDs.... dun think they will do much to 518.. but most likely full fleet dd for 2/12..

  Besides SBS3970G, there are still a few other 2-digit rego B4 Wrights in SLBP still not transferred. There are also some in AMDEP/BRBP.

  As for SBS3981A/SBS3983U, they can be swapped in HGDEP... no need to transfer depot.

  Replacement for SBS9437R on 12!!!! They just wasted another transfer with a bus that is not even WAB, let alone BSEP! In the same way they wasted the transfer for SBS9419T!

  Or was SgWiki wrong?

  Depends on how many they are buying over actually. The list of 50 to be x-fer to LTA is based on 23 B4 WEGs (1Z-23K) + 27 others acc to what I know.

  The list of 15 given by lemon1974 was only a rough gauge. LOL. Don't need to get so worried about your HG stuff being given to the East side.

  Well, there's still 9805L to account for.. we shall see how long 9840J stays on Sv 12. not in a rush anyway because there's 2 Wrights (3759B 3931U) from Sv 12 which have a long way to go before their Tourism Malaysia & DBS ads expire..

  5564? Then why has 5545-5550 been registered?

  These buses are considered to be registered for SBS Transit...they can register it not in sequence. Just wait for a few more days.
