  Either replacing one of the BSEP Citaros (most likely SBS6401M), or BSEP fleet add... Has been on 53 since the recent school holidays and still spotted on 53 after the holidays...

  Jumping about different timings on Sv 53 for the past weeks. No consistent pattern spotted yet. In fact, i've spotted it on Sv 53 more on the non-BSEP slots than the BSEP slots. Go and figure it out.

  Then 631L should be replacing 466Y. 

  So since there's 1 missing bus from WLBP + TIB529A, it makes up 2. Which explains why I see 2 more KJ buses running today.

  How many buses from WL side start at Bukit Merah, i realize after 961 n 167 give duty to WL, Half of the bus starts n ends from GL1 and Bukit Merah.

  I observed that btwn 9.30pm to 11.30pm, Buses like 294D,1342,1354,1355,1350,1351 ends at GL1 with AMDEP bus

  I only remember 336,337,339,608 ends at Woodlands. Im not sure about the others

  For now usually Wldep 961 buses end before 2350 ends @ Lor 1.Only 2 Amdep duties ends at Woodlands while the Amdep early ones ends at Lor 1.Reason why those 2 last Amdep dutoes ends at Wri cause they need to refuel/open coinbox/buswash at Amdep then onp at Lor 1.I really hope Lorong 1 will convert into full time bus park..Useful for CBD/Bukit Merah/Harbourfront and eastern bound(excluding Tampines) svc.At least if u clear some of the land near to the river can park 180 buses easily

  I dont get since last time why last bus to GL1 is done by WLDEP bus even aft timetable change, last time 608E then 443M to currently 1342S. The last 2-4 buses also from WLDEP.

  If they make 961 both last buses (GL1 and WLD) AMDEP both the drivers will need the same amount of time to do ONP at GYDEP (they have to wait and it could be a while).

  Using the same amount of time would you want to go back quickly and rest or do you want to wait for fuel tanks? If I am the driver I drive back to WLDEP and let the technicians drive to the bus park though, I don't think it WLBP takes about 25 minutes? Compared to GYDEP which could take about 25 minutes to reach.

  True enough, i always thought that the SL is the one that must drive to the bus park. Maybe after 1.30am near to 2am, there isnt much bus to do refuelling and taking off the coinbox.
