  There seems to be a service diversion for 172 and 975 today due to Qing Ming Festival (notice was displayed on both 172 and 975 buses for 26 Mar 2017 from 0600-1600hrs). Don't recall seeing any official announcement for this..  Last time Qing Ming also no such thing leh i recall...

  Onboard SMB108J and bus was behind schedule for more than an hour when it reaches back at BP around 1210hrs.

  ***

  On another note, onboard SMB1614H on 979 also and bus was 15 mins behind schedule upon departure from 1st bus stop.. HQ eventually gave a 10 min timetable offset and BC managed to catch back the schedule when he reaches the stop after KJE... not sure what happened...

  Is it "delay notice/congestion expected notice"?

  those bus services going to Sin Min area and sv138 usually got this notice saying that congestion are expected.

  Nope. It was the usual service diversion notice like those found on service 190 buses when there is diversion along Orchard/Chinatown....

  The license plate of SMRT bus "SMB2E" has been eroded, that the words almost cannot be seen.

  For yesterday, the notice heading was changed to "Service Disruption", but chinese is still "æœ�务改é�“" which means service diversion for 2 Apr 2017, 0600 hrs - 1600 hrs. 

  However, from what i heard, 172 and 975 will skip a few stops near the cemetery area...

  Anyway, does 302 rigids and bendies rotate among each other now?

  Boarded 302AM07 (302-302-7) just now, tot it was always a bendy slot, and the screen also showed that it is NWAB, but SG1713H came and did that slot...

  Seems like some Go-Ahead Wrights have a new EDS format, which is extremely similar to SMRT with their use of "via":

  NEW BRIDGE ROAD via
  SOME ROAD NAME

  I saw a few with the 'via' on the second line instead, next time I see one I shall try and take a photo ...

  Didn't notice this post...I accept your implication that SMB5046X had been repaired and most probably it is indeed on service but it's still reflected as laid up in OM...
