  Probably this also means, that AMDEP is finally realising their SP fleet is dwindling.. haha. That's why they taking in more DD SPs at last (which they need more of compared to their numbers of SD SPs currently)

  Is 6516R on 42 permanently or just a spare? I really feel the Citaro performs better on this route. Much better handling for the tight corners and steep slopes.

  SBS8629K on 103 today, not sure if related to mass-redeployments. It is still perm on 62 according to SgWiki.

• SBS3004X

  8 Apr 16, 20:07

  Not sure why SBS7703K is adless and still perm on 43, when there is still SBS3981A and SBS3983U.

  SBS6733E still on 43 today, same reason.

  Apparently, there is a DD perm on 43 that does random SD slots every day. There was no capacity upgrade on 43, it just happened that the random DD did the same slot for a few days.

  Fleet still 14 DDs, 13 SDs. SBS5159U should be out by now. I will just observe 1 more day, as the last time I saw SBS5159U slot, it was done by SBS6512B.

  SBS6477U has 315 perm sticker.

  The random DD perm slot is former SBS5159U slot. It should be SBS3460L.

  If the fleet is 14 DDs, 13 SDs... then there has been a SD->DD upgrade because the original fleet was 13 DDs, 14 SDs.

  Sv57 add 4 trips. There are more services with new ETTs beside these. Whether the new ETT really take effect we will have to wait.

  Actually uh. You do know that it's pretty crazy for the depot staff with all the admin work & related paperwork if they cleared all the non-BSEP buses out from 1 svc in 1 weekend right?
  
  I wouldn't be surprised if they split the clearing up in batches (ie, diff weeks).
  
  Give it 3 more weeks, and you'll likely see some changes within a month. The pace of change for Sv 43 for Go-Ahead preps so far is pretty impressive alr in my opinion.

  If it's added trips, then most likely it's either a fleet add (provided you can find which time period of the day they added the trips).
  
  If you see the frequency get tighter during Peak, but the off-peak frequency looks equally slow / lazy, then means its likely fleet add

  Considering AM 136 is the only svc outside of BN & HG control & is going to Go-Ahead as well, i wouldn't be surprised if there's some consolidation of paperwork before the handover (if you get what I mean).

  6516R still SP. But with rim covers fitted back, it's going to Go-Ahead at some point (since its siblings are all on 15 or 359 currently). But probably as a SP for Go-Ahead unless something happens to Sv 2 after this.
