Depots and the services they "control"

  I would like to know more about what are the services that a particular depot "control", and the services found in a bus park.
  
  1. SBST Depots
  Braddell depot
  Bedok North depot
  Hougang depot
  Ang Mo Kio depot
  Bukit Batok depot
  Soon Lee bus park
  Ayer Rajah bus park
  
  2. Tibs Depots
  Woodlands depot
  Ang Mo Kio depot
  Kranji depot (Is it still in use?)
  
  Any depots/bus parks I missed out? (except CSS) What are the services which can be found there?
  
  Thank you.

  I'm not sure if this is totally correct, but you can take a look at the bus guide.
  
  Check for the bus service number and look at the starting and ending points. The bus depot which the service 'belongs' to will be the one nearest to the starting point.
  
  Eg. SBST Svc 25 : AMK - Bedok
  (Depot - AMK instead of Bedok North)

  But this does not happen for all services, like service 7 (Hougang Depot)
  
  Then how about service 400? Which depot is nearer to the town area?

  Sv. 401 is entirely controlled by BNDEP. Sv. 400 is probably controlled by BRAM, as it has a full fleet of O405s.

  Superbus, Sv. 88 is now SOLELY controlled by AMDEP/BRAM. After Sv. 27 got extended to Sengkang, then Hougang it was transferred over.

  Thank Superbus. Why is service 66 not belongs to Bedok North depot? Since it's a Bedok - Jurong East service.
  
  Which depot control services 11 and 195?
  
• tranquilice

  20 Jun 03, 00:39

  So, is it Hougang depot that controls services 60 and 94? Is service 93 controlled by Bukit Batok depot?

  HGDEP controls Sv. 60 and Sv. 94, thus the Mk IIs in operation, Sv. 93 is controlled by ARBP.

  I think Sv. 66 is exclusively controlled by SLBP and BBDEP.

  11 is controlled by hougang central and 195 is by ayer rajah depot .

  That goes the same with Express 506, if I'm not mistaken.

  Sv. 11 is controlled by HGDEP, you mean, thus the occasional B10M Mk IIIs and Mk IIs. Sv. 195 is controlled by ARBP/BBDEP, thus the appearance of B10M Mk III and Mk IV Strider-bodied.
  
  Sv. 93 is controlled by ARBP, explaining the 2-axle VOs and the Mk IV Strider-bodied B10Ms.
  
  Sv. 156 is controlled by BBDEP and HGDEP, reason being the Mk IIIs and occasional appearance of Mk IIs on this service.
  
  All Bishan services(53,54,55,56,410) are controlled by AMDEP/BRAM.

  Sv. 159 is controlled by AMDEP/BRAM while Sv. 163 is controlled by HGDEP. Sv. 157 is by both BRAM and SLBP, same for Sv. 143, Sv. 31 is controlled by both AMDEP/BRAM and BNDEP.

  Sv. 25 is also exclusively controlled by AMDEP I believe.

  I'm not so sure about Ayer Rajah, Soon Lee Bus Park is located somewhere in Boon Lay, Soon Lee Road I believe.

  ARBP is located in Ayer Rajah Industrial Estate, off North Bouna Vista Rd. You can take Sv. 91 in, it loops inside, very interesting route.

  What's the difference between a bus park and a bus depot?

  Why is this service controlled by 2 west district depots, and not a east-district depot?

  Have no idea, but I judged it from the fleet. Since SBS9819Y says he sighted Mk IIs on Sv. 66 it is possible it is controlled by HGDEP, but unlikely as he saw SBS 1881T, which is now a SLBP roamer.

  erm svc 66 was once a bedok nth dep bus when it used the scanias. later the scanias all went over to 67 and thne 66 probably became a hg depot bussy.
  
  Service 88 is not control by bedok nth dep. otherwise i would have seen OACs on svc 88.
  
  Svc 40 is also controlled by bedok nth dep.

  The time when service 67 used Scania is like 8 years ago! After that the service uses mainly MK4 Strider and DM 3500 before handover to Tibs.
  
  OAC Scaina, NAC Scania and MK4 are used on service 88 in the early days of the service, after conversion to full air con, the Scania have disappeared from this service.
