  During SMRT's Carnival I saw SMB5003U's log book, the cover wrote "Kranji". But I'm not sure if the log book determines whether it is from KJDEP.

  It should be from KJDEP... All the buses involved in the carnival (including those on display) are all from KJDEP.

  SMB3105Y
  SMB3075A, arrive 4mins earlier than timetable.

  I hope 969 will get more DDs soon when the SMRT registered units come in... 966 don't need any, since so many DDs pumped in throught BSEP. 169, 171, 184, 187, 189, 851, 854 and 985 are possible canidates... 188, 190 and 972 can get more.

  Those service which need more than 8 DDs:67,169,187,188,190,851,854,960,963,969 Between 5-7 DDs:172,180,184,189,965,966 Under 4 DDs:61,857,985

  Ang Mo Kio need a new depot which can accomodate at least 400 buses.. Its a pity all the DDs currently only based at Kjdep/Budep/Wldep(Wlbp).

  3517 and 3518 can be added to 190. 5003U can replace the O405 that went out.

  *Incorrect statement. It was an O405, not an OC500LE.

  Did you mixed up the letters for regos under production batch? It should be SMB5007J, SMB5008G and SMB5009D respectively...although none of them has been registered...

  169 should get ADL first...190 would be later..

  Observed 169 queue today, saw SMRT staff keeping track of loading + time taken to pick up. 

  Within 15mins, 3(867Z ; 1459P ; 3116R) buses departed WRI, packed to the door. Queue is still v. long. 

  169 should get 10 non-BSEP ADL(7 split;3AP), 2 BSEP(AP) ADL. 

  964 should get 1-2 ADL in the morning..
