To the new library of course.. Under a special shipment from the old to the new.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Which reminds me, once it is closed, where will the guides go? -
Agreed, it's better to confirm than to keep guessing. However the last time I went to NRL in Dec 03, I couldn't find all the 1980s guides.Originally posted by Yusry:I believed it was at Rochor Road, but somehow inclined to believe that Keppel Road was a possible exit - which would alleviate passing by Marina Centre twice.
Until someone checks the bus guides at NLB, we would not know for sure. -
Hmm.... back in Dec 03, many of us went to the library, yours truly included. Maybe it was me who "chop" all the 80s bus guide.Originally posted by tranquilice:Agreed, it's better to confirm than to keep guessing. However the last time I went to NRL in Dec 03, I couldn't find all the 1980s guides.

But when the current Nat'l Library closes the new one isn't ready yet!Originally posted by service_238:To the new library of course.. Under a special shipment from the old to the new. -
I remember reading somewhere that some reference books will be distributed to other libraries (Are there branch libraries with reference sections? I'm not aware of any, actually.) while mostly will be stored in a warehouse till the new Library is ready.Originally posted by SBS9818A:But when the current Nat'l Library closes the new one isn't ready yet! -
Nope, it wasn't you, it was another member of this forum (I shall not mention the name) who sweep away all the 80s bus guide when I was there, and when I re-visited it, they were no longer on that shelf.Originally posted by Yusry:Hmm.... back in Dec 03, many of us went to the library, yours truly included.

Really hope they will be moved.

I believe the section between Nicoll Highway and Fort Rd was deleted and the route was amended via Raffles Blvd to get to the ECP. In this case, Marina Centre was the last stop before heading back to Bedok. Hence, the Bedok - Marina Centre via Shenton Way desto was true.Originally posted by tranquilice:I would like to know the route from 1985 up to its withdrawal. -
So service 8 only plied Marina Centre once and not twice, during the entire period of operation?Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:I believe the section between Nicoll Highway and Fort Rd was deleted and the route was amended via Raffles Blvd to get to the ECP.

Most probably yes, unless there were other amendments. The route we're looking for is contained inside Bus Guide 88. I've yet to check it out at the NRL.Originally posted by tranquilice:So service 8 only plied Marina Centre once and not twice, during the entire period of operation?
