  Hi
  
  Can anyone tell me what service SBS9531 is on?
  
  I had heard that it is a HGDEP bus and is on service 74, but i had not seen it for the past few weeks.

  Sv. 81 bus, might be x-ferred to Central soon as its siblings 9527 and 9530 are now Sv. 70 buses

  OK, but with 9527 and 9530 already with AMDEP, what gives?

  Spotted 9531B on 65 at Harbourfront just now. Just to confirm, it's a bus with black Minolta Dimage advert right?

  Occasionally MK3? I havent seen one for a month...
  
  Quite alot of Mk4s, but for some reason, I always seem to get the VOs...especially this particular annoying one...weird because I counted they are 5 VOs (1x Tiger Beer, 1x Carlsberg, 1x Tetra, and 2x Normal)...
  
  81 originally did Tampines-New Bridge Road right? If so, good for SBS to change it - there are already two other services from New Bridge Road to Tampines Area (12 to Pasir Ris and 2 to Changi Village).

  2 doesnt pass by Tampines.
  
  Here's the Svc 81 VO fleet:
  SBS 9452 X
  SBS 9453 T
  SBS 9531 B
  SBS 9532 Z
  SBS 9561 P
  SBS 9578 S
  SBS 9581 G
  
  This is from memory... The carlsberg bus is 9453 while the tiger beer is 9578... or was it the PSC or a normal bus?

  How updated is that list?
  
  I think some of the VOs were rotated out and replaced by MK4s, as I rarely see any 81 VOs besides the five I mentioned.

  Service 81 original route is from Old Tampines Rd (Upp Changi Rd North) - New Bridge Rd. I don't know if there's an earlier version.

  There has been no earlier version, AFAIK. (Am I right, ^tamago^?)
  
  However, back then, Old Tampines Road and Tampines Road was 1 and the same road before Pasir Ris HDB estate was developed. Thus, service 81 plied Tampines Road from the terminal all the way till Upp Serangoon Road junction.

  So which terminals/interchanges did it use? New Bridge Road Terminal and...
  
  As for 81 superbuses, I think the final tally is 3x normal, 1x Tiger, 1x Carlsberg, and 1x Tetra for a total of six buses.

  On top of that, there's one or 2 striders, and a number of DM3500s!

  I saw it at least twice on Sv. 81 already, that guy seems to have become a BNDEP roamer.

  Definately perm 17's bus. The bus roams to any service during weekends.

  Seems that the SBS95XX is the most confusing range among the VO 3-Ax Even SBS9534 deviates from the norm and is based in HGDEP, unlike its cousins in AM or BN
